one lucky man!!

not sure if this is a re post, but thought it was pretty unreal and had to share. If you saw this car, would you think somebody was still alive?

I honestly can't see him walking away from that. Maybe stumbling but not walking.

is this a joke? A car with this type of power is to much for a lot of people. There are cars in the mid 14 seconds that are to powerful for many average people.

Just because a car runs a certain speed in the quarter mile doesnt mean everything sorry to tell ya. There are cars with plenty of power but are geared differently. You can take a car that runs 12's in the quarter that would get eaten up on the highway by a car running 13's or higher. Anybody that relies just on quarter mile times to talk about the power of a car obviously doesn"t know very much.

This very old but what some of you didn't notice is the ground. 12 sec car or 14 sec RWD and snow/ice don't mix well.
