So if he floors it... will he keep the nose in the air? That would be SWEET.

I wonder if the front end is balanced from one side to the other, so if one side lets go the other doesnt have anything to work against.

exploding calipers would have shredded the wheels and that's highly unlikely to happen on both sides simultaneously. looks more like either the uprights themselves or the upper suspension arms failed under the braking force, and once that part failed they were able to just twist/snap off the rest of the way around.
