Shattered a hemi engine so bad the rods are still attached to the torque converter. https://www.bing.com/videos/search?...E7BA287C25D474079895E7BA28&FORM=VIRE

I've seen a video of that wreck before, but not with that much detail of the absolute destruction of the car. Even the steering wheel was broken apart............. eek eek

It takes how long to assembler a Challenger? And this idiot completely disassembled it in a split second. Incredible........... shake_head

Go to the end around 14:06 and see how it hit the overpass support and gets cut in half. UGLY and lucky for the oncoming traffic that passed that point just seconds before. DA

I can't even guess at the speed it would take to cause that much destruction. For sure high triple digits.

Nice: now bring on the 1000HP Demon & rid the world of more morons.
No blood, body parts, anywhere seen in video, not even stains.
Did the driver just 'vaporize"?

This was posted on here before when it happened. If you watch the footage in slower frames, you can see the driver ejected out of the passenger side of the car like a rocket.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

From the looks of it, this was a V6 Challenger. Small exhaust. Aluminum block (and I only counted 6 holes). No Hemi emblems anywhere. Everything points to it being a 6 cylinder.

Is that him landing in the lanes on the other side of the bridge supports?

So many young inexperienced drivers getting their hands on expensive and powerful Mopars, mostly Chargers and Challengers!!! Yes this was a V6 but many, many late model ones in pursuits and not all stolen.

Have you looked on www.coparts.com lately? Look at all the Ram TRX trucks that are salvage title! Many have been rolled. shocked


Facts are stubborn things.

I wonder if the driver committed suicide by car?


Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964. (Old F--t, Huh)
