I'm pretty certain that the fella who test drove my CRX was killed by what Freebeard refers to as catastrophic oversteer when the engine blew in a Mercedes he was testing while cornering at the Bridgestone/Firestone Proving Grounds.
If he had been in a 4-wheel power-drift at the time of the engine failure,he would have lost all chance of controlling the car.
