Im sure just as many camaros and mustangs have bit the dust by careless new owners right after pickup, it just so happens the hellcat is in the limelight right now.

Hopefully the car protected this driver. I guess he had more cash than driving ability.
As I said in the past, a few of these cars get trashed and the insurance industry will re-rate them and it will cost a bit more to insure.
Well said, another growing problem out there now is that aftermarket superchargers are being bolted onto pickups, suv's, and other vehicles with nowhere near the braking and handling capabilities that this hot rod has. What is needed is a way to keep all that power away from the inexperienced drivers that may have access to those vehicles! You can bet that some are going to get in the wrong hands, ending with bad results for them and the innocent drivers around them. Got a fix for that...............
If it had the three season tires on it, I can tell you this is definitely not one of those three in Colorado! Take slippery tires and a whole lotta HP and........the pic tells all.:nono:
Sorry folks, if a person spends that type of money, has 700HP on tap, and doesn't know what type of tires are on the car, more less what they are rated for............................................................................
You can't fix stupid.
Headline in the papers should be: Stupid is alive and well, this time.
Tires or not, some people just jump into whatever car/bike etc., and open it up virtually right out of the show room, without even getting a feel for how the vehicle performs or handles under different conditions.
I think, in this particular case, the driver was most likely showing off to his buddy what the car can do, and learned very quickly the hard way, what it can't!
From the pic, it looks like a squared-up head-on, right? Something very large, and generally immovable. A concrete wall would fit that description, but seems like the compaction would be even worse if it were actually an immovable wall. Besides, how do you get into a head-on position with a "wall" on a highway?
If another car, couldn't have been a small one, given that degree of compaction, imo. Maybe it was an actual head-to-head collision with a truck?
Point taken, but still seems unlikely on a regular hwy "circuit"...no big oval, no long span of wall to be a target. Plus there is a whole lot of "other" damage occurring in the incident in the video, than what we can see in the pic.
