Thread: Goodbye Cobra, Destroyed at 130mph

Friend of mine posted this on Facebook, figured I'd share.
Don't know much about these cars, but I know this one has seen better days.

seems like the car was never engineered to be driving at that speed.

you're asking for it if you push it that much

That gopro is bullet proof! Surprised he walked away from that. Thought he got ejected until the slowmo played.

Wow... I can't believe he survived that. Honestly I expected broken neck at least... I am really glad he's ok

Great marketing opportunity by the builder to show safety of the vehicle....

WOW, he is one lucky man ! That could have been so much worse.

and with his arms flying around - lucky, lucky, lucky.

anything can break - anytime - one of the hazzards of racing. It's so common to be going 130mph - you don't even think about it - but it can happen to anyone.

Beyond impressed with how that car held up. I'd never feel 100% comfortable aggressively tracking an open cockpit kit car like the cobra. Hell if the originals were in supply, I wouldn't feel comfortable with one of those either.

GoPro should use his crash in their commercials to show how tough they are.

Wow that's crazy. It looks like you can see his head touching the ground.
