I think the driver mod has more to do with this than the tires, with great horsepower comes great responsibility. To go out and start racing around in a car with 1 hour of seat time this guy is nuts.

Ouch!

The point made about gap insurance is valid.

The mark-up was likely $15-20k and his auto insurance isn't going to cover that portion.

I'm pretty sure that guy was doing more than 40. I cry because that's an awesome car. If it was a camaro, just wipe the blood off reset the airbags and sell it again

Driver stupidity nothing more. I am surprised the crash hasn't been blamed on trying to avoid a deer yet. It seems that deer like to stalk and wreck high performance vehicles often.

Hellcat Crash

Take a look at this. Wonder if it was too fast around a corner?

Just goes to show. Just because you have the money to buy a high dollar car, doesn't mean you know how to drive it.

Wow...., A testament to some people should not be allowed to buy a high performance car. Very lucky there were no injuries.

How smart do you have to be to drive a 700hp car in Colorado in the winter. I know it's a challenger, but still a waste of a nice muscle car.

Too much car, not enough driver. Should've bought a Dart.

Easy killer. The guy bought a 707hp car and wrecked it in 2 hours. He obviously did something he shouldn't have. He was sited for reckless driving!
