For what he's going to pay to repair that Ferrari I could buy the parts needed to put down 700+ HP easily. Stupid rich people that buy expensive exotic sports cars and don't know how to drive. Better hand the keys over to me so I can take car of that poor Ferrari propperly. :D

what a giant douche. I guess no one told him that a ferrari isn't really capable of doing burnouts. Now if he was trying to take a corner at 100, he'd been ok.

I feel bad for him.
We shouldn't be so harsh, i'm not sure why him driving a ferrari makes him a douche. I mean 99% of us dont know how to drive either, and we're behind the wheel of half decent cars.

He worked hard to earn that car, and just like if i were to crash my car doing something stupid, I wouldn't feel great, he's in the same boat. I'm sure he feels not so great about it.

Wait, what?

Hold on a second, that dude's doing doughnuts, not writing an eleven. BIG difference. Any granny mobile with a bit of grunt can do doughnuts... it takes serious horsepower and serious lack of traction to write a nice eleven with a big burn out.

Writing doughnuts, as in the link above, the car's momentum is changing direction causing the wheels to have to keep accelerating the car in different directions, which lets pretty much anything with some guts and AWD/RWD break traction and smoke rubber.

Going in a straight line and roasting tires is an entirely different excercise in physics. The guy in the OP video was fighting ferrari's state of the art traction control system... unless of course he shut it off. Even still, I could see what happened to him, happening.

The american made hammers that went previous were built for that sort of thing... the ferrari, a refined peice of engineering, was out of its element. IMO, it was like putting a drag racer on an AutoX curcuit and expecting good results.

Keep in mind that the cars previous to the ferrari probably had dinky little brakes in the back with little to no balance adjusted, making it easy to clamp the fronts and induce wheelspin and overcome the rear brakes with massive horsepower. The ferrari has giant brakes in the front and back (probably in excess of a few thousand horsepower of braking force), and is tuned to have perfect brake balance front to back as to not induce steering or sliding during highspeed cornering and menuvering. The cards are really stacked against you for getting nice wheelspin in a straight line and getting a good smoke show. Any youtube videos showing ferraris smoking tires show them doing doughnuts. All straight line tire roasting has very little smoke and alot of acceleration - what ferraris were designed to do: grip the road and hold on for a wild ride around a racetrack.
