Apparently not everyone needs 700 hp.

I'm sure plenty of 350 HP GTOs and other assorted muscle back in the day met their demise in much the same way.

When I was 16, I crashed my first car a hour after buying it. Halfway through a left turn in the rain, I grabbed second gear and stepped on it.
Survived with just a nick on the rim, although the positive battery cable popped off and killed everything until I popped the hood and found it. Sure gave me a scare...

I guess he did not have the traction control on. LOL. It goes to show how hard it is to put that power to the ground!

Body wise yes, but the original pic out at the crash site looks like the motor copped a pizzlin (Aussie slang for smashed). And if so, could have destroyed the rest of the drive train. Don't know what the cost component is in that motor and ancillaries. |

Only old men can afford such car, then they drive as they still have the skills as when they were 18......

700 HP on street tires is just an accident waiting to happen, this won't be the last one to be totaled due to heavy foot and light head. I'd hate to see what the insurance premiums will be in a year or so for these cars.

How about selling it on ebay?
One owner Dodge Hellcat, very low mileage, minor damage, VERY restorable Jon.

Many have done the same or worse with much less. Kudo's to those that didn't end up dead.....or plastered across the internet.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
