Guy performs real life turbo boost in third gen Firebird!
Sorry if this is posted in the wrong place,I couldn't find a general discussion section.
Before this guy pressed turbo boost he should have checked to make sure kitts molecular bonded shell would hold up!

Believe it or not,the 19 year old driver actually lived through this!
Here's the actual news story

just makes me realize how much more i need a rollcageYeah,it's incredible the guy lived through this.
Sad to see a third gen destroyed.
It's doubtful that a roll bar would make much difference in a situation like this.
