It never works out that way. Hell, i've broken the back end lose on my Bird w/o even trying. RWD Muscle cars do require SOME skill to drive.

Yup.
Sounds like a stupid driver more than a sociopath. You can break the back end loose on something like that very very easily. I've done it powering down too hard on a lane change before.
Sounds like a guy that didn't feel like getting stuck at a red, tried to smash it through a yellow and lost the back end; shit happens.
I think he's a dickhead and a punk, but this incident isn't terribly demonstrative of that. Next time he should probably just buy himself a modern sports car with launch assist and traction control; then these things won't happen.
