seems very staged to me. How com there were some guard rails but no where near the spot they actually should be? There wasn't any damage to the car other than it was a little dirty.

That's actually not the entire video.

See that Ferrari behind him? They were racing through the mountains. I believe the viper had recently passed the Ferrari when he crashed.

I think the entire video is posted somewhere on IS300.net

the driver side door looked cracked in as did the windshield...i dont know who would spend money to stage this tho...you would have to use a crane to place the viper down there, bash the door in, and get it dirty?

it was also racing with a ferrari in the background

This reminds me of the truck commercial I've been seeing on TV. Actually two of them. In one a girl has her ex-boyfirend's truck pushed off a cliff only to have it land on its wheels without damage (to her horror). The other shows a guy park the truck at the end of a line of cars to be run over by a monster truck only to have the monster truck hit it and flip over leaving the pickup undamaged.

The car looks like it's totalled. Re-look at it again, and it looks like the platform has twisted. If it's not wrecked, the car is in for some MAJOR repairs.

Did you see the one where a monster truck crashes against the Toyota truck? I found that one hilarious.

i don't think it was staged, nor do i think they were racing. why would somebody just happen to be video taping this. i think they were filming something, and the viper got caught up in the dirty side of the road and went off. no racing here.
