Default Alaskan Cliff Launch C5

Did anyone see the Alaskan Cliff Launch and the Pink C5 at the end.
It the last one so you can just drag it to the end.

Well color me a dumbass. I watched that yesterday only it was a local guys channel and not 1320s and I for whatever reason assumed that abomination was a C4 lol.

Anyways, I will give them credit for for what I can remember being the fastest launch ever that I have seen off that cliff!

It even looked like they intentionally pointed the car in a direction away from the crowd? Knowing it was going faster than anybody else.

Ever since I have been watching this event I have this hobby of picking out vehicles that I think somebody would have easily survived in.

This year it was 100% the A Team Van. No doubt in my mind all occupants (if there were any) would have walked away without a scratch lol.
