Good LORD man that's deep

I have to say though, almost every time I've seen an SRT-4, it's some jackass 16-18 year old (I understand I'm not that much older) weaving in and out of traffic and exceeding the speed limit by at least 20 mph... I can't imagine how much it must cost to insure those things

Kid's lucky to end up like that, and it really looks like he realized it

You should really post a disclaimer before linking people to something like this. I closed it before watching all of it.

Caution: Disturbing images.

no real blood or gore. some facial surgery/wounding mainly.

its a great illustration of driving both beyond your limits and stupidly on a public road.

I have seen some nasty wrecks down here, including involving family and ome friends from the track, often where some other idiot was the guilty party. Don't want to say too much against an SRT-4, but I have seen expert drivers and I have seen people who haven't the foggiest clue about how to drive one. Just because you are behind the wheel of one of these vehicles, does not mean you become an expert driver, whether you are speeding or not.

Great video. Should be shown in all drivers education classes. I know I did some stuipd things when I was that age - fortunately I had a 135hp Pontiac LeMans (V8) that had trouble getting out of its own way and not some crazy powerful car like the SRT-4. Kudos to the kid/man (Ryan?) for putting up that video.

Good educational video

I've yet to understand why parents buy (or allow to buy) these high power cars for their teenagers

Yes, I do realize it can happen to adults too.

only an American car company would be irresponsible enough to build the SRT-4. I guess Dodge is technically German, still MB sill is a pretty pathetic company.

Elaborate please? I sure hope you are not trying to blame the accident on the car company.

Damn that guy is lucky. That really taught me something..Thanks
