does anyone else feel that when they see a helpless car like that, they just feel bad for it? I really thought they were for real. Now watch SCC get suied cause some dumb *** started to strip his car down exactly like that and crashed... i give it about 2 weeks till it happens...

edit: there 60 foot times sucked!!

edit2: look how long they left the wing on?... it would of been great if they left it there for the whole thing... ah.. poor imports..

Lol, that was a brand new car too. Must be nice to have the kind of money to destroy a car. It does run in the 14's though.
