Video: 370km/h Corvette crash
American company Hinson Motorsports attempted to break its own record for the standing mile in a Corvette last weekend at the Texas Mile.
FYI, that record was 360km/h. They tried to go for a 370km/h+ run when something went horribly wrong. Their modified Corvette - packing a faintly ludicrous 1296kW - got airborne into its record-breaking attempt and came to a rest. Violently.
Using whatever luck was left in the universe, the driver managed to walk away unharmed, still unsure how he flipped dramatically. Watch the video below and then ask yourselves... how?

Stopped watching when the douchebag music kicked in. I want to hear the engine and the crash noises, not some turd's favourite tweeny angst anthem. Looks like the video was also made by brain-dead amateurs.

They forgot to install all the aerodynamic bits to keep the car glued to terra firma.. what a bunch of brain-dead amateurs.
