GT-R Blows Out Tire At 200MPH

[TorchMach]

I thought this was pretty crazy, is this guy lucky or what. Good response, I think most would have freaked at that speed.

He handled that well!

bet that's 10 grand to fix and he voided his warranty

Holy chit. He's lucky the road was dead straight, he did a great job though.

 

[pho_phizzat]

I would guess he has some shit in his shorts after that one!

 

[BLOWN9646]

Wow if it had blown out before the semi he prob wouldn't be alive, crazy how fast it sucked over to the right lane(s)

 

[Mr. Mach-ete]

Well at least he was being cautious.

 

[WireEater]

These are the things people never take the time to think about when they are out goofing off. He is lucky. I doubt he had to do much to keep it under control through, it's a GT-R.

This is why you make sure all your equipment on the car is ready for that kinda pull, not saying the car was not ready just wonder if he hit something or was he driving on bald tires to begin with.

I had the same tire blow in my work truck doing 60 with 5 tons of gravel in the back. It pulled to the right so hard I had all my weight on the left side of the steering wheel trying to pull it away from going off the freeway. Then you have no brakes so you have to ride it out. You can't see him but I would imagine this guy was fighting the wheel pretty hard to keep from hitting those semis. Scary stuff.

Oh for suuuure. A blow out at that speed has to break a few things and damage others, maybe some body damage?

I see what you did there...lol

Imagine being one of the other motorist on the hwy that we passed on three wheels still doing 180 kmph, sparks flying.
Lol. That's a wtf moment.

 

[DaBigBone]

Wow that's some good control. Could have been way worse.

 

[oldmodman]

I sure hope that he or someone post pics of the car after he got it stopped. If he is incredibly lucky just a tire and wheel might be the only parts damaged.

10K y'all say...... Try again!

While a nice save, he is still a jackass for doing this on the street. Would not have felt bad if it blew out and he sideswiped the cement wall...

Just glad no one else on the road got hurt due to this tard.

 

[RedRocketMike]

GTR drives itself with or without tires.

 

[scott_0]

crazy there was a tanker truck there shortly after it blew, lucky lucky guy

 

[ThomasL]

I didn't even know they have tires. Thought they hover.

Riding that almighty high horse I see. To wish certain harm on someone who didn't even harm anyone to begin with is ridiculous! :nonono:

While it's not the smartest thing to do 200mph on a public road, he really couldn't have been any safer as far as taking the public out of it when it comes to a public road. After passing the first truck there was nothing until well after he blew his tire. And we can't speculate how much longer he would've continued his pull if not for his inconvenience. Anyway...

Dude handled himself well. Hate to see such a nice car destroyed.
