Default Whaddya think? (Video Link)

Hi guys, I'm just a couple minutes into this interesting video. A couple of things right of the bat. Is it necessary to move steering wheel back and forth like that to try to maintain traction? Just seems dangerous and perhaps intended to look cool. What do you guys think about it?

He was fighting to maintain control not look cool.
The danger was in crossing those double yellows...

That car has some serious traction issues, it was going squirrely on straight-aways in addition to corners.

Should be noted that he said death suspension setup and cold Pilot super sports in the description.

Looks like a wrong setup,
he looks like he's really fighting to keep the car going where he wants

Looks like he needs to change the oil? (MAINT REQ'D light)?

Not sure if it's him or the setup of car or both (bad cornering lines & use of throttle PLUS tire issues & suspension issues). Kinda uncomfortable looking at all that in-corner corrections.

Think it's called Death Suspension --- cause you feel like you've cheated Death, after surviving that ride.
