One of my recent clients (and long term IM friend), who was already a paraplegic after a motorbike accident, did this to his crazy Supra the other day:

Luckily both he and his passenger are ok. Be careful out there guys...

Apparently he lost the rear end at 60mph, over corrected, hit telegraph pole and rolled into a field.

It was a suitably modified engine, don't know how powerful it was though.

So he had the gas/brake rigged up to be hand controlled? Looks like an interesting rig.

You aren't going to try and stick it in a Mini or something are you?
