Have a look what happened to that FD3S or Mazda RX7 if you prefer.
Thats an effect power over can create when exiting a corner.
If it happened on the other side of the car, and further towards the front... the effect would been different, causing severe injury.

More pics here, MODEM USERS DANGER, these shows even more detail on the damage to the car:

The danger of high powered FR machines is shown here, maybe this is some food for Grez to dig on.
This one was also modified so it made the power over even worse.
For those of you who is unfamiliar with power over, here is a video that describes it, NOTE this is done by a pro and on a track.
