I think that is where her HUGE advantage came from. She's probably driven that track in those exact conditions three dozen times. IMO a track that's neither dry nor wet consistently is the worst - and most of those drivers looked like they were struggling with that.

This is no doubt true. I showed it to one of my co-workers, who asked "So how did she qualify so badly?" We're thinking that maybe she took a grid penalty to change from slick tires to intermediates or wets, and all the folks she was flying past decided to soldier on with their qualifying rubber. Don't know at all, but seems plausible.
Actually, it looks more like an attempt to meet Laguna sound regs than bosozuku to me. The sound booth is on the right side of the track, between 5 and 6, and exhausts angled like that one way to direct the sound away from the mic.

But yes, clearly it went wrong.

Of course. it's about 5 feet short of bosozoku minimum requirements...
He's just way ahead of the game in aerodynamics. By dumping his exhaust into the eddy behind the trunk, he is heating up the air and increasing air velocity, reducing aerodynamic drag.
...or just dumping a shitload of hot air into the dead zone and setting the car on fire...
