at the :45 second mark, is he feathering the throttle there? ...you hear the engine surging back and forth. Doesn't sound like the rev-limiter; I was just curious if any drivers out there know if pulsing the throttle like that is a technique to saving the car when it's getting out from under you in a situation like that.
@mjackdiesel Yes, when your loose, usually your back tires arent gripping. When youre accelerating, the back tires spin (which if theyre not gripping doesnt do ANYTHING good). When you let off the gas, it stop the tires from spinning, which would give it more time to grip, and less to slip. So, tl;dr: letting off the gas helps the tires grip. And he was trying to get as much speed as he could out of it while letting off the gas.
