I just read that. Always seems to be the same story - accelerated and failed to maintain control.

Well, at least old/cold tires, deer, moose, democrats and defective control arms were used as excuses, yet.

How many times have we seen a professional Nascar driver lose it on the track and still save it?.....very rare. They're in a car built for racing, on full slicks, good surface and with tons of driver talent behind the wheel. Yet if they lose it very often it ends up in a wreck.

With the horsepower and acceleration potential of a Viper, an average "Joe" will rarely be able to gather it back up after losing control. Luckily no innocent people were hurt.

"accelerated to a high speed. He failed to maintain control of the car"
Well yeah, nobody loses control of the car while stopped at a light!

It was a Viper, but could have been a Mustang, Camaro, Vette, or any number of cars. Those kids in California killed this week when their car was split in half and burned after hitting a tree must have been hauling a$$ as well, not in a Viper.

I think what kills is poor judgement.
