I believe its the second one down. Pretty bad crash and I doubt the seatbelt will do much help for this clown.

I don't. I hope he wasn't wearing his belt, and he wouldn't make it, or if he did make it, be paralyzed for the rest of his life. Thieves get 0 sympathy from me.

I think the ball joint broke when he hopped that road that took him to the fence...then I guess everything else broke afterwards.

You wouldn't be able to tell from the video. GS3s and GS4s are governed at relatively the same speed.

I think the driver experienced some bump-steer when he jumped that intersection which threw him off and he lost control.

I replayed it over and over when he buzzed right through that other intersection and nearly hit innocent cars. Thank god he didnt hurt anyone but himself.

I agree. That was definitely a 400 with how that guy was accelerating compared to the flow of traffic. That's what I love about the V-8. It flies on the highway. Except in this scenario. That was a bad way to use it.
