He let off...that'll get you every time.
Mandatory OT is BS! Decades old studies, all of them, show one’s effectiveness, mental alertness, even physical ability etc etc, drastically deteriorate after 8 hours much less 10 or 16. What do they want, mentally lazy unaware unsafe employees? People get hurt that way, on the job and off. Start looking for other employment. Why anyone would want to work in a prison is beyond me.

Should be the same 6.0 as the Vette. Could be off a little on it.

5.7 maybe, Caddy's just started dealerships over hear now. Nice alternatives to our Beemers and Benz's. Nice car.
4.4 liters or a tiny 268 ci V8. It’s the earliest V model using the all aluminum DOHC 32v Northstar engine. They downsized it from 4.6 liters to have more cylinder material to better handle the Roots type supercharger. Has a forged crankshaft and cast iron cams and the stock HP and redline is 469 and 6,700. Torque is 440 @ just 3,800 rpm. The first of a four year run with only 1,600 made in 06. Later versions had the Corvette pushrod motor. It’s got Brembos, Sachs shocks and even has an oil cooler for the differential and a tiny radiator for the supercharger. It’s kinda heavy but turns 0-60 in just over four seconds. Surprises a lot of people. Bought it from this guy, retired NHRA T/F champion Eddie Hill. That’s his dragster mounted on the wall behind him.

4.4 V8? Nice.
A few of Eddie’s cars. That’s the Caddy behind the Ford GT. He’s also got a twin turbo Merc roadster his wife got him for his 80th birthday! That man lives for speed. He is an Ariel Atom dealer and races them too. The driveway to his ranch house is exactly a quarter mile long.

But it does look like he lives and breathes speed....All the time.
Armchair qb is always easy, but...he let off.
And, when you let off, that stops the rear wheel...and it almost always ends the same way, a crash.
Same thing in cars.
Hold what you've got and try to ride it out, it always ends better.
There IS something to be said for being able to ride a controlled wheelie, and obviously, that guy couldn't.
And besides, quick reaction and thinking is a requirement to drag race even a stock Busa.
The rider ran out of skill.
But he let off first, stopped the rear tire momentarily, and really lost the rear end there. Then he got back on the gas, and spun it out.
Hold it and hang on or let off and loose it.
