Looking at the speedometer this car isn't tuned or I'm spoiled by the speeds my car can do I guess.

And I see torquesteer, nuff said

Like LM winner and fellow Dutchman Peter Kox said: If your brakes are powerful enough you don't need to brake on the engine/heel& toe...
And this is a fwd car wih less torque than my windscreenwipermotor for God's sake. LOL.

A stock US CRX si would maybe reach 120 mph going down hill with a big tail wind, but this guy hit 127 so he's either modded or maybe he's driving a Del Sol which was still a CRX in Europe and had the most powerful engine.
