I've seen a polished Cobra around here in the past too, but the link says this happened in Texas. I doubt its the same car.

In the article it says the driver was trying to do a fly by, then the throttle stuck, car spun out, hit a curb at about 45-55 mph, flipped in mid air and landed in the water (then the engine stopped lolz). Sucks to be him.

none of that seems probably since the car looks immaculate other than the windshield hanging off. tires look fine. a hit to a curb fast enough to flip the car over into the water would have to bend something...

I agree that it's unlikely, but it probably wouldn't take much for a car with that weight to power ratio to get airborn, much less rotate. Definately tough to tell.

And com'on, those are totally Texans with the boots and the hats! :lol:
