That's not good. I think he scratched the paint on the roof.

Parts of the video were all upside down ... couldn't get the PC's monitor turned-over in time to catch the entire clip no matter how many times I tried. :D

And while I'm no professional dragracer ( though I occasionally play one on the weekends ) ... Isn't the shiny side supposed to be up ? :lol:

Can any of you tell what make and or model of car that is. I think he was not gentle enough with the steering wheel, at that speed it just seems like he was over correcting. What a shame though, it looked like a street car:shake: .

Great find though, thanks:2thumbs:

I'd say a very late '80s or early-to-middle '90s Mustang. *Tip - steering wheel and dash configuration.


... it looked like a street car
I'd say street/strip ( not just street ). *Tip - Cowl hood with boost (?) gauge, hanging electronics after roll-over.

I saw this on another site and someone chimed in that he broke a rear axle...He was doomed at that point anyway!! :help:

He remained awfully cool during it all!!! :bows: I would have been screaming like a sissy and flippin' switches...Oh yeah....ON DA BRAKES!! :censor:

Too bad....Looked like the beginning of a good run!! :cool4:

That vid woulda been fulla bleeps if it was me in there. I tend to cuss when I screw up with the car.
