No crowds were harmed in the making of this article.
Nemesis
If you haven’t seen “Porsche vs Mustang NEMESIS!!!!!” this is one clip you will laugh at for decades. The video shows a Porsche chasing down a Mustang that ultimately spins out from driver error, but not before YouTube gold is created. It simply can’t be explained, you just have to watch it. You are mine Nemesis…!!!!!
GT500 & Lady Luck
“WE SAVED IT YOU [expletive] [expletive]” is exactly what I would have been yelling if I was David McMahon. This EPIC clip shows what happens when your brakes seemingly fail, you have one car coming right for you and one choice to make with a passenger in the car: throw the car into a cinematic 90-degree slide to come to a complete stop without hitting anything. This clip is unbelievable, funny and educational all at the same time. What a boss!
Launched in Reverse
1320video is known for their serious straight line speed videos in which daredevil drivers and top tuners go for glory on the street and strip. That all sounds badass until you’re the guy who launches his Fox Body in reverse. In front of an entire crowd. I’m not sure what’s worse afterward: having to look at other people or write a check to fix the car. Serious fail.
"Just Send It"
Sometimes slaloming a Mustang at 30mph is simply too much for any driver to handle. That is the only way to explain how this seemingly simple task almost results in a corner worker being mowed over. Upon realizing the driver has no brakes he continues to push until experiencing total brake failure. He then applauds when his car almost remodels the surrounding trees.
Launch Control?
You have to know when to fold em in this next clip. When your drag car starts bouncing like the shocks are blown right from the get-go it’s probably not a sign you should keep your foot in it. This owner finds that out the hard way when he hops straight on over to the wall. Speed is so slow it’s almost painful to watch. Almost.
