Thanks, I'm surprised I did. Somebody was looking out for me. When I heal up I'll take a picture of the big chunk I took out of the tree.

The Z tub is stiff as chit. There is very little flex in it.

Pure track cars can get away with that much camber. There is no sense for that on a DD, unless it's for looks.

I agree. I was impressed with how well it protected me. Every air bag in the car went off. I was fortunate that the passenger side hit the tree though. It was a big eucalyptus

Wait until you see my camber since I just changed the springs and not any spc parts or toe bolts.

Thanks man. What's scary is when it happens so fast you don't have time to react, even though I tried. And you can see what you're about to hit and all you can do is yell "oh ****"

Yup. I always have to remind myself to respect the car. It isn’t the full pulls that get you. The scariest times in my car are when I’m just cruising, say in third, doing 30-35mph and I apply 3/4 throttle. Turbo spools up and car gets all kind of sloppy, even though you aren’t really beating on it.

Nope, nobody in the car with me and no other cars on the road at the time. Very fortunate because I spun across the two opposite lanes of traffic.
