My guess, was hammering it out of Gate 2, hit third gear, something slick caused a hiccup in power delivery, and it's all Mr. Toads Wild Ride from there.
Not super impressed with how those rims broke away.

:confused: What would you consider "impressive?" You know as well as I do, when you have to torque lugnuts to tighten a wheel, only a small part of said wheel will remain attached to the hub; the parts with the lugnuts on them. Just askin'/making a statement.

H*ll, I know this from personal spernts. When I slid my '92 hatchback on 249 back in '98, I think it was; after everything stopped moving, I saw that the centers of all four wheels were the only parts still firmly attached to the car.

Just seems that from what I see the impact forces should not have been very high on the wheels, not like he was coming in at a sharp angle.

In another thread you are complaining about the two inch drop in road surfaces. Imagine how this person felt after going over that 6 to 8 inch curb they have along that stretch of road! :lmao:

He snapped the hub and the suspension, what would it matter at that poinpoint if the wheel was intact or not?

It wasn't too long ago that a Hyundai couldn't have gone fast enough to jump that curb without a steep downhill and a tail wind.

Isn't torque steer a term generally reserved for FWD vehicles? :razz:

Torque steer is caused on a rear wheel drive car when the car is steered by the rear wheels because the front ones have been lifted off the ground.
