The car will be fine. Only the bumper needs replacing. The intercooler pipe will be expanded back to normal size and I'm good to go again.

Btw, on my lunch hour today, I drove up to the spot where I lost it in order to better understand what had happened. From all the information I gathered from the cornerworkers and my pesonal experience, here's what I've determined. I early-apexed the corner. I like doing this sometimes as it's fun sliding the car a bit to set up the next turn. What happened was the car launched off the inside of the turn as that part of the road acted like a ramp causing my front wheels to leave the ground. This was eyewitnessed by a corner worker. I drifted to far to the outside of the road and ran out of asphalt causing my right tires to land in the extremely narrow section of dirt. I corrected the wheel the other way and lifted so the car would rotate. This kept me from going into the rocky hillside.

Check out the picture of the skidmarks.
