Marty's car is being built to be a reliable-ish circuit car, not a drag car. Big laggy turbos are useless on most circuits as you lose too much time building boost exiting corners. There's another Mirage/Colt (hatch) on Boba Motoring's channel that's making more than this one too.....
Not sure of the validity of the story. But I heard the crash happened on 480 and the driver and passenger were both uninjured and they had the car in an enclosed trailer within minutes before the cops showed up. Now again I don't know for sure what actually happened this is just what I heard. I'm local to Norwalk (Cleveland)
The_1st_60ft_Videos That’s what I’m saying.... I know those aren’t all that accurate but we will say def over 150 and how that thing didn’t barrel roll into disintegration is beyond me.. would was there slicks on the car??? Something definitely broke fluid wise and started spitting on the tires guaranteed
Yeah for sure crazy ass shit. Looks like something had to break. He was straight ahead with the wheel and it just started to spin around. Didn’t seem like a tire blew so I’m with you prolly some fluid. damn i wrecced a oldsmobile Alero similarly (tire blew) but only at a 100 or so. we lived but flipped so many times couldn’t count. I walked away, damn near killed my partner though.
Looks like plain old lift off oversteer to me. The aero on that thing has to be generating a huge low pressure zone, and tremendous vortices above the rear trunk lid and therefore lift. Everyone remember all those fins on top of evo roofs toward the rear? Those are to straiten turbulent air, promote laminar flow and prevent what likely happened to this guy. As soon as he lifted while still in gear (drivetrain drag acting as breaks) and the rear came around slightly, it exposed a profile that more easily allowed the air to travel over the rear trunk lid (smaller effective surface area relative to all the air trapped and dragging while perfectly strait) and with the reduced force required to overcome the oncoming air, the car, now with polar momentum, took the path of least resistance and turned farther broadside. After that it probably just carried through with inertia into a spin. If that comment smells funny it’s cause I pulled it straight out of...
After a quarter speed review I noticed the speedo was a low refresh rate GPS only picking up 2 mph at a time (187-189-191-193) That's when it registered a 194 and held, indicating to me top speed had been achieved drag limited or otherwise. Its difficult to discern what upset the car, it could have even been a small dip in the road. I hope we find out with a follow up video.
As soon i saw this car i said this dude is boricua....te lo digo brother dije ese es puertoriqueño y despues veo que tiene un gorra de PR....mi pana saludos desde ARECIBO PR
Oh. My Goodness! My dad owned a car just like that one before he left and never came back. I never knew what type of car it was because it had no emblems but now I finally know after all these years.
Damn, I remember the crash too.. the drive shaft on the new one trips me out lol.. got to love the DSM guys.. I have a buddy who builds and tunes them... they do some silly shit.. still not as bad as the Volvo guys
Perfect example of skimping on things you probably shouldn't. Reminds me of kiddies which first start driving and up the power on stock breaks and suspension. Never going to end well.
I HAVE A 1995 MITSUBISHI MIRAGE COUPE JUST LIKE HIS AND LAST YEAR A STUPID BAD DRIVER IN A TRUCK HIT MY CAR AND MESSED UP COMPLETELY. THOSE CARS EVEN WITH THE 1.8 liter ENGINE FROM FACTORY THEY MOVE REALLY FAST. MY CAME FROM PUERTO RICO 🇵🇷 AND I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS IN PUERTO RICO THERE WAS A LOT OF THEM . THE CAR IS SUPER LITE. JDM LIFE FOREVER 🔰💯.
Not a sleeper with HUGE front mount hanging out the bumper alongside the turbo inlet and exhaust out the side. Obnoxiously large tacho and slicks dont help either. Props to the build it does haul ass!!
Holy shit, I remember seeing the crash years and years ago after it happened. I thought he was keeping it under wraps for legal reasons. but I guess it's been long enough to show it. Luckily no one died, especially the lady in the minivan.
Just goes to show you dont just take any ragedy pos and try to go fast. Shit happens at those speeds that are not controllable, and its way too fast to react to it.
@@thesleeperfactory1339 all the way up till he kills himself, and whomever else is with him. Not to mention people in his way. Ill line up against anyone besides people like this, who have no intentions of safety of the people in the other lane
@@thesleeperfactory1339 you sound about as idiotic as i should have expected from a keyboard warrior. Like i said ill line up next to anyone, as long as their car is ready and able to actually cross the finish line. He actually didn't hit 200mph. I saw 190ish, you know right before he lost control and almost killed himself, the camera man, and other people on the roads. Youre an idiot if youd line up next to someone who doesnt care if you go home at night.
I remember a guy ib the show Pinks that almost won in a mirage with a awd turbo 4g63 setup , he made to the semi or final and broke or got beat , it was fast.
Surprised there was not a eulogy at the end of this video.
+jdmiv007 if you read the description
Best video yet. This guy should get a monthly update.
Marty's 2sexy ain't got nothing on this mirage. He needs to see this video, now.
Beat me to it
I was just thinking that lol

why are you comparing a lancer to a mirage anyway?
the 2 door mirage/colt is sold as a Lancer in Australia. But it isn't really a lancer. I think almost everywhere else it's called a Mirage or a Colt.
Man we need the full story on the crash and pics of it afterwards!
Havoc Racing I agree that looked crazy asf
I agree too. I was puckering as he passed those semi
Me too and I’m glad to see he is okay and back behind the wheel
I've seen the pics of it after. It was crazy as hell. JP's a great dude and someone I'm proud to call a friend. His cars have always been stupid sick

Just by looking at the car I knew he is Puerto Rican...✌✌

8:36 for crash... how did he survive that.. car spun into the median at 190mph.. someone was looking out for him

Holy fucking shit, the fact he survived that is beyond me. Lucky ass man right there.
It had a cage.
holy shit , Yea it was not your time to go yet ... I would not race again after that shit

Puerto rican crazy sleeper built lol badass car
Hell yeah! Been waiting for another good Mirage build!! Sick car, great video, man!
Crazy things my fellows Puerto Ricans do, that 200mph attempt though 👍👍👍
Lovin' that Puerto rico hat. Gotta rep everywhere

This is exactly what happened. Didnt lift (the throttle) until it already came around

My boy jp !! Loved that car and all the builds you do brother !
Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 in the house 💪🏾🤤🔥
That man is blessed to be alive
Jp you really need to get your cage work done by me brother lol holy sketch
I was thinking the same looking at those welds
TxJonathan Yall beat me to it, damn that's some nasty looking work

If that's a hobo Evo, what does that make DSM's? 2 door EVO's? Also, wrecking at 194mph... dude is lucky to be alive.
I used to own a DSM version of this car
@@zero00-100 oh really and what model was that?
98' Dodge Colt
@@zero00-100 really? I thought the dodge colt was a dodge, not a DSM
I'm not sure. It had the diamond star pentagon logo on the side and it had a Mitsubishi engine under the hood.
Oh. My Goodness! My dad owned a car just like that one before he left and never came back. I never knew what type of car it was because it had no emblems but now I finally know after all these years.

Scary crash, very lucky to walk from that.
This is a total grass roots car. And a hella cool guy 🤙
Im digging the fvck out of this. At it again TRC, finding pure gold. Better built not bought. 💪
I know jp he's an amazing mechanic. Makes due with what he has
That last clip was suspenseful as heck.
Love the car Brother 💪💪💪 keep up the hard work
This is what tuning should be about, going fast with what you have and having fun while doing it 💪. Oh and trying to be as safe as possible ofcourse.
Another badass 4g63
My man JP! 💪💪
How the hell did they live through that.. Extremely lucky
Perfect example of skimping on things you probably shouldn't. Reminds me of kiddies which first start driving and up the power on stock breaks and suspension. Never going to end well.
A 400 hp superbike looks safe compare to this thing. You got balls riding in it...
😲😲 My mom had one of these in the early 90’s....definitely was not this fast..this is cool AF
That is a true death trap!
Kinda clean I’m not gonna lie
Man I had one of those.
That was one dam good car.

😲😲😲wtf with that crash!!!!
crown royale shift cover... nice!
This guys a hero no shits given
1:50 - that roll-cage well, I'm surprised he survived the crash
This man is my god
It's not a sleeper when it looks like that..
Well it is to the untrained eye, or anyone that crew up around nothing but V8's
This car would catch a lot of people sleeping. Not many would guess it almost traps 160mph
It's MOST DEFINITELY a sleeper. Slap some old mirage wheels on it and hit the streets everybody would fall victim to this car.
Agree. I'd never call a car on fat slicks a sleeper. Most people would know it packs some horses.
Not a sleeper with HUGE front mount hanging out the bumper alongside the turbo inlet and exhaust out the side. Obnoxiously large tacho and slicks dont help either. Props to the build it does haul ass!!
holy shit that crash. That turbo too, a fucking monster
Used to have one of these as my first car, same color too. 96 ES coupe, 1.5l and 90hp of fury. Used to dream of doing the 4g63t swap.
Awesome!! Nice bro!
Trc has such amazing cars on this channel. And then theres this.....
Someone give that man a sponsor
Holy shit them booger welds on that cage is scary as fuck at that speed
Getting Dusted by a Sleeper Hurts the Ego the Most :-)))

This man survived a 200 mph wreck in a dodge colt... you're either a badass or the luckiest man on the planet lol

Very good video
Pretty Erie at the end but bad ass I guess that he is still alive !
7:25 the seatbelt straps at that angle are gonna snap ur cervical spine
Cervical? You know only women have a cervix lol
@@PSINXS learn some medical terminology, cervical vertebrae are your neck bones
Sleepers dont have drag slicks and big intake ports in the front bumper or battery disconnects or roll cages or monster tachs....
There a link to the full crash video?
Joseph Gabrielli thats about all there was to that video..
Mason Weis how do you know that?
Dude what the f*** TRC get the full story on JP crash.... i mean 200mph crash and he still grinding after that??? HOLY S***
That car is nasty and that dude is krazy BIG respect 🤘
She is proton (wira putra) in malaysia
MCM needs to see this
He is a new age cowboy Mich respect from so cal
Has anyone here ever heard of a Marage Technica only place i seen them was is here in puerto rico .
Aqui en estados unidos tengo uno DE rojo del 2001
I remember a guy ib the show Pinks that almost won in a mirage with a awd turbo 4g63 setup , he made to the semi or final and broke or got beat , it was fast.
When that broke loose at 194mph I instantly felt a surge of fear run thru my body. What happened to cause that and was everyone alright?
Makes me not wanna go over 145 in my sc300
The welds on that roll bar scare me
What the drive shaft no fucking way thats a unique car no lie custom gauges and i guarantee it smokes a super car.
9:11 for the crash, he for sure shit his pants
On the 200 run at the end when the back end came out the passenger or JP said "We're gonna' die!"!
We are missing>>>TRC SUPRA :(
9.50 at 160+mph... Ya that sounds about right for 4 cylinder, next milestone is 9.0 at 180mph?
180 mph is an 8 sec SFWD car
funny things start to happen at 200mph legend has it the car took flight....
Damn at first I thought that was an old school cavalier
That car will never be a sleeper in my neighbourhood...In stock in came with 4g93 NA.
Crazy 190mph spun out of control.. attempting a 200 mile an hour on a closed Road.....🙈
Closed? Pretty sure that road was far from closed.
first off we all just gonna ignore the dude in the ECV chair pulling what appears to be a costum rig for his ice chest... mmk just checking.
LOL we brought that too. good catch! That thing deserves a story on its own!
Another boosted boys kind of bulid... I.e for budget.... Marty should get some inspiration out of here
Badass. ....☝
I want to see the full video of the crash!
i dont get how this car is a sleeper with that big intercooler at the front, What is a sleeper?
dude mutters "oh my god" right before they hit the wall doing 200mph...
Needs more mention of the fab needed for awd !
Let me guess the guy hit his brakes after going 200 miles per hour.
Throw a John Sheppard trans in that thing and call it a day
Rip thelotspot 😂
NICE! My username was RidgevilleDSM for a bit then 8URVTEC
Eso ehh puñeta puerto Rican people y mandamos nosotros jajaja
Who dares to say no you can’t do it????
In Malaysia we called it Proton Putra
Used to own the Dodge DSM version of this car
