Message Of course if you had better equipment you would have been
safer and able to achieve stability at higher speeds.. but really when you have 600+ HP under your right foot, you have to be
experienced to control it at the limit. Perhaps a Nissan GTR
may not need much driving talent, but there are no fancy
electronic gizmo's in the Z to correct input.

Aside from not ever getting into the situation, if you really
want to know why it happened, this is what I think..
You described how you tried counter steering with the tail
coming out, however the truth is your steering input was too
slow and inaccurate at those speeds, this being called over
correcting and resulting into a fishtail of a magnitude too great
to be saved. All in the same time you would have had to be
very precise with throttle input to have been able to prevent
the incident.
