That is absolutley ridiculos. What an idiot.

No car is going to fly through the air like he wanted it to. I do like the attempt of putting the wings on the car though. One hell of a ride!

I remember that stunt well. Haven't seen it in two decades probably. It was cool to see it again.

What an ***. There was another guy that strapped jettison rocket packs from a military aircraft to his car and lit them off. he went down the road and went airborne and hit the side of a mountain at an estimated speed of like 325 MPH.

the G's part has to be a typo. most airforce piolets who are trained in a professional, controled setting will pass-out around 8 G's. either way, it sure looked like one hell of a ride.
