If you read the description underneath the video, it says it happened when the supercharger came on, and the car had no grip on brand new tyres. Click the link in the description and watch the slow-mo clip of the accident. You see the car step out on the damp surface, but it happens so violently, that when watching the clip at full speed you don't notice the back going.

 

I somehow doubt it, sounds like the typical American excuse;) supercharger's don't suddenly build boost, its very linear, the VQ produces a lot of torque from as little as 2,000 RPM, so i would be surprised if it suddenly lost traction at that speed/RPM plus the std taction control is pretty good, looks to me like a mechanical failure or sudden tyre deflation, or there is the "twat driver" option:rolleyes:

Are we actually bothered though? ;)
