NSX crashes in rain on freeway - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hcOoglNofU)

happened in front of me today saw the guy messing around in downtown and watched as i could tell he had no clue what he was doing so we followed him and sure enough, earlier he had been trying to show off in front of my s14

[K_style]

My neck is hurting after watching this... LOL

[KoolAidMan687]

its rotatiing right now sorry damn droid

[future]

Well that video sucked

[2tonecoupegrl]

+1 on stopping to see if he was ok wether or not he showed off. You did the right thing!

[babyjesus]

that nsx is bad ass...

[KoolAidMan687]

like who would drive away? i drive a kouki 14 im in the scene i understand shit happens its whatever be glad he didnt slam that pillar he was a total a hole about it and im like dude not my fault, u want proof? hahah

[dawagarage]

damn that sucks. he needs some 315s on that thing

[Bobafreak]

Didnt look damaged. From the video just looked like he went up the hill. I didnt see a curb beforehand so he might have lucked out.

[thizzen4]

i bet he was a a hole look what hes driving and look how he drives should of stayed away from the rwd cars adn get something fwd or learn to counter steer

[Legendary]

Dumbass!:rofl:

[240drifter1]

So what happend to the car?

Shoulda kept filming.

[EDacIouSX]

how was h an ahole? waht was his excuse for doing that?

[tabasco122]

Mid engines cars are fun...

[1on1]

Luckily, he wasn't low enough and was able to go off-roading a bit.

[Mofuhcka]

I think he forgot to buy his driving skills after cashing out on the NSX

[Nismo240driftSX]

How embarrassing. What was the end result?

[KoolAidMan687]

i know i should of kept filming but i didnt wanna be a dick about it and make him feel even worse im pretty sure he did counter steer but just had all four wheels locked, the damage wasnt to bad but pretty sure the core support was bent which means it should be technically totaled? all the suspension was bent too

[BoostSlideWayz]

Yeah those cars suspension arent ment for that much travel .. Probably bottomed out hard feeling in the car.. and he should be thank full he maneuvered away from the freeway support... That would have been tragic to see that happen.

[7RIFT0]

good one bro! damn that sucks

[Weedm]

... what a waste. driver mod was lacking

[codyace]

... what a waste. driver mod was lacking

Whild I'd agree the NSX should have maybe slowed down, it would be hard pressed to at least not acknowledge that sudden hydroplaning can wreck even the best race car drivers.

[Banana_Cute]

BINGO

Looks like he caught a good amount of puddle when he swerve to the left shoulder.

[KoolAidMan687]

i just laughed it was tight

[Weedm]

Whild I'd agree the NSX should have maybe slowed down, it would be hard pressed to at least not acknowledge that sudden hydroplaning can wreck even the best race car drivers.

perhaps so. all of my experiences with heavy hydroplaning were with bug puddles and even then the car would slow down significantly and not ever suddenly swerve that quickly.

what do i know though. waste of an NSX

[funes]

this happened to me and i was just cruising at 70 mph on the 57 southbound. this is what happened: cruising 57 70mph next to the carpool lane, hydroplaned then the car hit the divider with the rear right rim and i ended up facing against the traffic. i swear it was sudden hydroplanning. i didnt hit the brake pedal just steered a bit to the left (car was hydroplaning to the right) then it happened. fortunately i didnt hit anybody else, Im alive and no body damage. just a scrapped rim and a RLCA bent. all fixed. learned my lesson never drive more than 55 mph when the freeway is wet.

except for senna. he passes 5 cars in a lap, on a wet track. lol

[blueshark123]

I wonder if ill see the car up for auction salvaged lol.

As before, anything is possible at any time. I'm not doubting your personal experience, but are you saying since you bombadiered a puddle that all rain/puddles/cars/tires/conditions are the same, right? Heck I've done track days in the pouring rain, and come into some corners where the runoff has changed a smidge, and turned a normally safe corner into an ice rink.

I've even been on some roads (namely the concrete ones up here in the Norhteast) where I've had a trailer hydroplane on me, and a truck do nothing.

And why poor NSX? At least he's out driving the thing instead of sitting home polishing it. Good to see a street car once in a while.

Posted on my350.. Thanks for sharing

he was being such a jackass in downtown moments before this that honest i dont feel bad for him whatsoever

Turn up the volume. He mashed the throttle.

no that was my car

[mikerbike]

I heard your car too. You let off at 0:12 and somebody's engine revs up really high at 0:13, just as the NSX loses control.

[slideslidegnarslide]

Every one attributing it to hydroplaneing might be wrong. If you listen very closely you hear the Nsx hit the throttle pretty hard then he looses it. I think it just unexpectedly broke traction and the dude froze up and slammed the brakes. Huge mistake.

he absolutely did not hydro plane, he just lost rear traction by trying to gun it and maybe pull away from that "peasant" s14 behind him.

peasant s14 huh?......lets hear this

[DallasTXjdm]

It could have been A LOT worst!... nevertheless nice save for the driver

[codyace]

Can't disagree.

If that was in the dry, it woudn't be the same. Plus an NSX doesn't make the torque needed to spin the tires. It's a water related/hydroplane accident. Again, I've been ON TRACK (not on your freeways) with rain worse than this...I know all too well how rain can effect a car without any previous input.

It could have been A LOT worst!... nevertheless nice save for the driver

Agreed

[mikerbike]

I agree. If it wasn't wet, his tires wouldn't have spun when he punched the throttle.

I knew a guy who had an aunt who watched a video about driving in the rain, so I am also an expert on NSX torque curves. :p

(Does a turbo SR20 "make the torque needed to spin the tires"?)

[Homeboyx]

So.. in CONCLUSION, he was trying to be a douche but his douchieness backfired on him and bit him in the ass. /endthread

you're so cool dude, can i be you? i just want to be you so badly

[dillonbear]

he should have just bought a prerunner if thats what he wanted to do.

few miles from my house, i saw this goon chillin under the bridge on my way down town...lol

[KoolAidMan687]

u if can hear him mash the throttle your talented because my 14 is making me deaf

[GPGTCME]

Wow!! That's nuts considering how scarce these cars are becoming nowadays.

[Homeboyx]

you're so cool dude, can i be you? i just want to be you so badly

Maybe one day young grasshoppa'.. maybe one day..

[Saiko88]

someone should post this on nsxprime.com haha

[KoolAidMan687]

:trogdor:Maybe one day young grasshoppa'.. maybe one day..




one day need to be now i cant wait im just drooling thinking about how great it would be god please teach me how to be just like you now

[Tearlessj]

This may be a stretch.

I'd guess that the NSX driver saw the up coming tunnel and wanted to go through it at a lower gear to try and impress the S14 driver. Looks like he tried to rev match and either too much or too little. That was just enough to make the rear come loose.

When you hear the nsx rev up, it sounds like free revving to me.

[randyjordan]

shiiiiieeeet

that pillar had his name on it

[iStubz]

rally nsx .

[jdmspooge]

shiiiiieeeet

that pillar had his name on it

hahaha! yah, he should have just hit the pillar instead. It would make it more of a "FAIL"!!!

[KoolAidMan687]

yeah next time ill tell him to hit the pillar

[Driftwire]

Thanks for the share Koolaid. Btw whoever said the NSX cant make torque to spin the tires must have never hit the gas in their car....ever

[FRpilot]

whoever said that must be thinking of an s2000 or thought since the nsx is made from the same company it must have the same characteristics.

probably doesn't even know the nsx's engine is6 cylinders and 3.0/3.2L.

Not to add that in wet conditions.. yea because water adds traction

[OutlawLui]

I cant talk shit on this guy...

Its easy to go spinning out like crazy in the rain, with any slight traction brake.

i lost traction once just making a left at a intersection in the rain :(, made it out ok.

[idahotuner]

haha try hydroplaning at 70 with a chevy pick up

[razor787]

Man he barely missed that thing. my buddy hit one at 60 and walked like nothing happened.
