Looks like he was a little slow in correcting the car. He counter steered, but held it too long so the car "over corrected" in the other direction.
No doubt a poorly set up suspension didn't help things, it probably has stock shocks with stock springs cut way too low. You can't tell from the video, but he probably has that stupid set up that the poseur drag racers do where they have the stock steel wheels on front with the stock tires and some 17's with really low profile tires in back. If so, that has got to make for some really ****ty handling, with the front tires rolling under and the backs just sliding around.

Instead of buying a body kit he should have bought the right side view mirror off a Mack truck.

I agree 100% I have seen that happen before. A Cobra lost control the same exact way but went back towards the right and hit the curb. I was behind him and same thing; but he almost hit 3 other cars. Not something to laugh about. I stopped to see if he was okay. He was more pissed than anything. That is not funny.
