Although I took delivery of my car less than a week ago.........I have a great deal of respect for it and its power. A lot of us might like to think that we and our cars are invinceable.....these pictures sure do prove otherwise. It also proves the point that "sh!t does happen".

James,

Very sobering photos. I assume the two gents lived. Can only imagine how fast they were going and what caused the accident.
After looking at all the photos of the Viper, I gotta say it's built pretty well to take that damage and still protect the occupants.

Give us some more details if you can.

I really have no more info. This was forwarded to me in an email and I thought I would pass it along.

Thanks, a reminder to be careful out there. The Cobra would not fare as well as the Viper did. Wonder
what caused them to roll, looks like all 4 tires where full of air, and they were on the expressway?
