I assume this is a repost but in case it's not...

This video is actually quite old... but this is the cleanest upload I've seen.

Bunch of non driving berkeleyers. The hand positioning of the Ferrari driver makes me want to punch babies.

I hope the folks in the viper were ok though.

I love the comments "If he was driving a Dodge Shadow, this wouldn't have happened." LOL

The thing that gets me...think of how much effort they put in to get that many camera angles just to show off that level of driving prowess on public roads. At least stay on your side of the center line.

Is this a case of "just 'cause you got $$$ don't mean you can drive worth a E36-M3"?

Driving likeE46 M3 isn't much of an improvement

Ooooooh, I was thinking about that video when I saw this one.

Is there any lower part of the internet than YouTube comments?

I'm gonna go ahead and claim fake on that Viper video, way too professionally filmed to be real.

I like the way the second video ends....

"He walks away completely..." "...missing both arms."

All fake.

Definitely NOT fake. There is no way to safely land that car from going sideways and off camber off a jump, and noone is going to total a 50+k car (back then) for anything less than a major motion picture.

Nick Cage could do it.

Yeah, no E36 M3, he also did this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1Z88Jo3Z-I

I hate to disagree with you but that was more of a train-wreck than a car-wreck... Wtf!!!

In reply to Lancer007:

I love how the description blames the crash on "the front tires hit gravel and lost grip." Sure, that's what you told your mommy. But the reality is you carried too much speed and understeered. Dumba$$ is unwilling to accept responsibility. "It was the gravel, maaan!"

In reply to ebonyandivory:

Try the whole movie, its hilarious.

The Viper driver was no doubt looking at the cameraman on the side of the road instead of looking down the road. Stupid place for a cameraman, especially with obviously challenged drivers.

passing that Ferrari in the first few seconds makes me cringe. It would have been risky in a right-hand drive car. There is no way the driver of the Viper could have had a clue about on coming traffic. He just lucked up and made it. Pure idiocy

In reply to DWNSHFT:

Agreed, the worst part is that by denying any responsibility for what happened he can't really learn from what he did wrong and correct it for next time. Because there will be a next time...

If you guys really wanna see some cringe inducing driving, just search for Mulholland Drive fails or crashes. Its very unsettling. youtube.com/watch?v=WoBg9vmKbz0
