even if she was a better driver, an ESi VS a TSi is just no contest.  Brakes and suspension, plus awd, c'mon.

so what you're saying John is shes a better driver..I doubt that. lol thats funny! hahaha and oh yeah my car is not awd, just fwd and her was auto! God I hate auto they are just so boring to drive, and you have even use each gears full potential. All in all her and her friend walked away from that with just some brusing and a little whiplash. a write off and ICBC gave her $6600 for the car.

That's a real good reason why you should test your cars limits on the racetrack, not the street.  They easily could have been maimed, paralyzed, or killed.  Or worse, killed someone innocent.  That's just plain stupid, you want to see who's a better driver or who's car handles better it's called auto-cross.

Well She sure did, I wasnt really involved in it, the reason for the roll over was misaligned tire (balding on the inside and time of year (october) and plus it was on a corner. It sure was an eye opener for everyone involved.. I miss that car, and now she has a 95 Talon ESI no options, pretty much base model.

actually, balding on the inside shows that she had a bit of negative camber which is good for cornering  ;)  Too much toe, that is what caused the wear, but still, the angle was good for handling.

What caused the roll was driver error.
