I posted a video of this car a while back doing 250mph! I guess the car now is a total loss but thank god the driver walked away!

Why am I not surprised? Because of the comment I made in this thread. https://5series.net/forums/topic/103...st__p__1232541

There must be something wrong with that car as I have driven a Gallardo close to 200 MPH and it does NOT behave unstable during hard braking with that speed.
This one obviously does.

They said the reason he crashed was because the wind took the parachute and it hit the rear tire causing him to sway to the side and hit a dirt berm...The rest is history!
