Holy Crap!!!

endofanera7 · 10-26-2010, 05:10 PM

It's 2000hp from the video description.

e92_m3 · 10-26-2010, 05:14 PM

Wow! That is one crazy crash.

Luckily, the driver walked away unharmed.

Looks like the chute did more harm than good to the car.

montreal red · 10-26-2010, 05:16 PM

damn.... that car is famous too. sad to see the car get destroyed. but at least the owner lives to see another day. i am sure he wont be racing anytime soon after going through this.

No joke man. Looks like the car will need some compound and hard polishing

. Guess you just can't add crap to your car without knowing if it's going to work as intended or not

. Glad the guy walked away, but what an expensive run.

Poor Gallardo ...

Silver-Bolt · 10-26-2010, 08:36 PM

The drag chute caused that mess. Chute deployed and lifted the rear wheels off the ground. Way more to adding a drag chute than bolting one on. Glad he walked away.

Freakazoid · 10-26-2010, 08:56 PM

2000RWHP? really? I believe it but holy shit..

Gavin@MMW · 10-26-2010, 08:59 PM

Wow.. the second the shoot popped, he lost all downforce.

a giant wing might have helped

Really cool he walked away though.

Isnt that the car that was posted a few days ago without a rear bumper?

Inspired · 10-26-2010, 09:02 PM

I think even at those speeds just using your brakes to slow down the car might be a better alternative than using a parachute. There should be more than enough room for him to slow down..

He had a 250+MPH run where he used only the brakes. Even then it looked like he was having issues. I think maybe that's why they thought it would be ok to just use the chute. Like SB said, it takes more than a couple bolts and a nifty parachute to make it do more good than harm.

Looking forward to pictures of the aftermath

Sniz · 10-26-2010, 10:20 PM

oh damn man......thats bad. Glad he's ok, gonna be SUPER sore after that one if your even alive.

and yes, whoever told him to put the parachute on fucked up big. Bad move.

.:bHd:. · 10-26-2010, 10:50 PM

Isn't this the same guy that kept spinning out when he would come to a stop?

And god damn 2000whp is no joke

spinning out > multiple flips at 200mph+

E90///M3` · 10-26-2010, 11:45 PM
