I'm telling you, the angry ex is a valid explanation. Who the hell in their right state of mind would race a sub-200hp sedan against a 552-hp Bentley?

Uh, A v6 camry could beat a 552hp bentley when you're screwing around in traffic on city streets not on a straight drag or highway.
After you have a decent amount of power it's about who is crazier, and has more guts, not necessarily which car has more HP.
Start running through lights/stop signs, weaving, using the shoulder/and other questionable unsafe practices and straight HP doesn't matter so much. Of course then you end up like this story.
Review the minis in the "Italian Job" as an example.

So I take this at face value and just think the girl thought she was "Stella Bridger" (Charlize Theron) for a bit, it's a jump for me to think that just because she died, she's somehow innocent and a victim and it's because of the "angry ex"
