Something looked very wrong about that. The camera man just happened to be in the perfect spot? And the Viper wasn't really going very fast. And he didn't even attempt to make the corner. If it were not for the aftermath pics, I would call it fake. Maybe the driver was watching the camera man instead of the road. This is why you take it to a road course. On those roads, it's just a compitition of witch driver is more insane.

I agree, but maybe it was something planned anyway.

I would love to cruise that road though, it looked like a great trip.

But at a slightly slower pace. I like to see where I am going and be able to take in the view at the same time.
