Default Guy In Shelby Cobra Almost Bites The Dust After Trying To Top Viper!

This video was posted over at Corvette Forums. Not really sure if this would be the best place for it but what the heck. This first thing that went kinda bad was the Viper in the beginning (almost hits a SUV). Then a red Shelby Cobra pulled out and tried to top the Viper but it didn't fair out as planned (almost plows the wall). This is a event in Dallas and there is a lot of new and old bad *** cars there, just not that good of drivers behind the wheel I guess. Guess thats what you get when you garage it 364 days a year.

And the music is horrible, can't really hear the cars that well.

I think these meets are gonna be going away here in a short while. But what I really think is funny is how everyone always blames the younger adults and kids for driving crazy and doing dumb ****. But here is a prime example that no matter how old you are, if there is a crowd anyone at any age will do stupid stuff to show off. And these are probably the same old folks in your neighbor hood that complain about how loud your car or music is.

Yep. No one learns how to drive with a 10 second car. Its all about baby steps, either you got to daily drive your car and get used to it or work your way up from a slower car to a faster car. Its scary how some kids parents buy them some fast cars as soon as they get their license. A lot of the older guys who take their cars to car shows trailer them, they get very little seat time in their car so when they do decide to drive it on the streets and get on it and it goes sideways they have no idea what to do. Im not bashing anyone that trailers their restored car to a car show all I am saying is know what your car can and will do before you thrash on it.

OP, it's a 7:16 video with a lot of fluff, could you at least post the two time stamps to look for?

It sounded in the first video like it had an LSX, possibly an LS7...

WoW, A **** ton of them people have no business owning them cars let alone driving them. 59% of them do not even know how to handle their own car. God I haven't spun out and lost control like that since I was like 11. Unless it was someone who put me into the wall. Been Driving since I was 10 Grew up on a ranch, started racing Dirt Circle Track at 16yo worked my way up to asphalt then road course by the time I was 21. And now Im broke! haha
