Default Another Cobra driver spinning into oncoming traffic?

http://www.thatvideosite.com/view/3024.html

Wasn't there a black Cobra that was driven the same way? Or was that original video this car as well?

Makes you wonder if perhaps Cobras are inherently dangerous, like the CGT or Enzo?

Unless its all driver?

after watching it a few times, it sounds like something is going wrong, its popping a bit. but if you listen at the end you hear a guy say its alright..... is he on crack?.... :roll:

edit:

take a look at the front wheel as he passes. the wheel is cocked to the side. street problem/break?

this whole thing stems from driver stupidity. plain and simple. There is no mechanical failure involved.

he over corrected for some reason and lost the car. Period. Another moron with too much power and not enough skills and no brains.

YEah - the car simply got away from him - anyone who has a high hp car, if fact, any car, should take their car to a deserted road and try out max RPM launch... control a spinning launch... experience full lock up braking.

I think ti should be required part of license issue.

I could have avoided my first wreck had i known what to expect and what it felt like when the rear end walked out. But no. Drivers Ed only tells you the theory of getting out of a skid. They don't let you practice.

Driving schools should offer a cut rate for young drivers to learn what it feels like when they start to lose control and how to regain it.

Even if it was mechanical failure, a good driver wouldn't of crashed into on coming traffic ..

^^

Same in Sweden, we have a "slippery-test", don't have any other good word for it.
They spray a lot of water over a road and than you get to do these manovoues just to feel the car when it's stepping out, skidding and stuff like that. All under the supervision of teacher and stuff.

Spite that, I crashed my dads car /not much, just a bit of the fender) when the tail stepped out last winter ops:
