what about track driving a 300 hp car? :lol:
great way to get dead.
............
lol.
A friend of mine tracked his 300+ awhp Evo MR (Evan, remember Chris?) and he seemed to be fine from what he told me. No broken limbs or car parts, maybe a bit of detonation from the tune, but that's it.
I think danger in a car is relative. It all depends on how you drive what you drive.
how many events has he attended? the simple fact is after enough time, everyone messes up and will bend some metal. i'd much rather not do it in something that overpowered.
So you don't have the desire to drive a high horsepower car on the track simply because you could crash it? You could crash any car, at any relatively high speed.
By your reasoning, you might as well not even own a car like that, because you can't get the most of out it unless you track it and if you track it you have the potential to crash and die. I've met plenty of people that track high horsepower cars and have yet to injure themselves or their cars. Like I said before, it depends on how hard you push your car and what your skill level is.
