People think you just hit the gas and it goes straight like their Honda did. Very few have driven anything with real power nor understand just how loose it can get when you're trying to put it on the pavement with street legal radials.
I suspect this will happen to many of the high end muscle cars. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
So as a guy who owned and DD'd a Charger for years, you have to really be doing something stupid with them to wreck one...and that's even more true with the newer cars. The new SRT cars have a pretty solid traction and stability control system that will keep things from getting hairy IF you leave them on. Of course, I'm betting he had all that off and was being stupid with a nearly 800 HP car. (Dodge underrates the power) Predictable result. Yeah but you and I both know that the people who need that stuff turned on are the first to turn it off because they think they are the second coming of Michael Schumacher. Every guy who buys a performance car think they don't need that "nanny shit." |

I'm rather confused, and a little bit disgusted by the GD safety and morality police. Most drivers can't handle a high performance vehicle, therefore they should not be allowed to own one. Or if they do decide to buy one, they need to attend some training. Or that car is too powerful for the milk run, kind of like "high capacity semi auto assult weapons" and the "sporting rifle" debate. For you guys, it's fair grounds to suggest or demand those things, but as soon as the conversation shifts to guns, it's a whole seperate debate.
Something about freedom of the people, right? Kinda funny how that works, ain't it? But it's ok, beacuse we're talking about cars.
Now cue in the highway death statistics, freedom is wrong and statistics are right. |

Now cue in the highway death statistics, freedom is wrong and statistics are right. Completley different than a rifle. A 4000 pound 700hp super car loaded with fuel is capable of massive destruction. Imagine if that car hit a school @100mph. Its a god dammed cruise missile that no average driver can handle. |

I drove my buddies 600+ rwhp 2004 Cobra a few years back. While it was the most fun I ever had on the street, it was also quite humbling. If you get on the throttle for a few too many seconds, before you know it you're doing triple digits.
Scary fun.
Having the money to drive the car typically means you aren't anywhere near prepared to handle it. Hopefully you just have enough insurance to cover the damage you will soon commit. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
The real problem is crossing over the threshold where the car can light them up at will, even at 70mph going down the highway. 400-500hp generally won't do that. Regular SRT Chargers and Challengers won't do that. These will. Yep, I had a GT500 that was not stock... nothing scares your passenger more than a throttle induced fishtail/burnout at freeway speeds. If you're not ready for it the first time...there probably won't be a second. |

Expensive (typically powerful) cars are looked at in our culture as a status symbol. An unfortunate result of that is many people who don't know how to drive/know nothing about cars go out as soon they get some money and buy powerful cars and end up wrecking them. This is a perfect example but not uncommon at all, gearheads just sit back and shake their heads. I could sit and watch that all damn day. |
