The all-american V10 supercar was supposed to be a modern day Shelby Cobra, and to some extent it actually was. With the old Dodge Vipers, you always get the sense that it was built by people in a shed.
The 2013 SRT Viper even has launch control, but of course this old one you see here (looks like a 1996 model) has no electronic aids whatsoever. It was involved in a one-car crash last Tuesday in Long Island.
The car broke an utility pole and damaged the power lines at about 1:20. According to Newsday.com, the damage was repaired and the road reopened by 8:15 in the morning.
The driver of the rolled Viper suffered serious injuries and was taken to hospital. We wish him a full and speedy recovery. This just shows how dangerous these crude performance cars can be.
