Dumb Woman Crashes Shelby Cobra at Shoutfile.com

The Zohan

Hi there, was posted a few months back, if you look at the car after the impact you can see what looks a lot like fibreglass, not ally so unlikely to be the real thing.

bunch of dumbfcuks imho, i just hope no-one was hurt.

Not my first SIAL, won't be the last I'm sure

Obviously she learnt the hard way that you can't just "floor" a high powered RWD car ***** nilly.

I'm sure a few scooby glory drivers would suffer the same fate if they tried "giving it some"

The Zohan

why mention scooby drivers, how odd, would be true of most drivers who did not take into account the weather/road conditions which are not good.

Because you can just dump the clutch on a Impreza turbo...nothing happens then the turbo spools into play. So power isn't instantly applied the very milli-second you mash the pedal. They are the typical idiot proof machines of the modern era, and consquentally attract alot of complacent drivers when it comes to driving powerful cars. Causing bad (ignorant) driving habits to come about due to the impression they can drive a performance car well. Only for it to come to light when placing such a person back into a grass-roots back to basics performance car.

Such as a big high-torque n/a v8 that gives its maximum potential the very millisecond the throttle is opened even from low revs. There is no progression of power delivery. Therfore takes no prisioners.

(unless its a car with electronic throttle - they don't allow the throttle to snap open, partly implemented to appease lesser drivers who are ham-footed. Like our lady friend in the video. Examples being all post 2001 BMWs, GM LS2 based cars, Post 95 NSX, Jag V8, modern Ferraris, Porsche 996 etc.. ).

Not to forget the added false belief of a core catchment of drivers thinking they can drive like a hero in adverse conditions because their car has AWD (the UK is bad enough as it is with the majority of shopping trolley drivers driving ignorant to road conditions). Which no doubt somebody will be thinking after seeing that vid "my scoob won't do that", like its and excuse to drive ignorantly in poor conditions.

Now, with the driver of a shopping trolley, everyone will expect that happen; it's a no brainer. Like expecting Hammond (I'm a driving god) to pull away first time in a F1 car without tripping the anti-stall.

Looked like a pretty evil device to be fair, I am no driving god but tend to take a car somewhere safe and try taking a few liberties to see what happens.

A freind of mine bought a Corvette, booted it, the back stepped out, he hit the kerb it bounced back and he smacked his head on the A pillar, its why American cars are powerful rather than fast.
