Yes, it is.

But, reposts do happen...not a biggie. If you searched and found nothing, no one is going to die if you post it again...

I used to live in a condo that had its driveway/garages on a decent sloped hill. My neighbor was a very old man with an old Crown Vic. I was about the leave with a buddy to go watch a hockey game and this guy puts the Vic in reverse and floors it. wheels spinning, thing goes flying backward down the hill, across the street, hits the curb, back end goes flying up, and it land ON TOP of the hood of a brand new explorer.

Owner comes flying out of his condo in a rage screaming, and the old man is clearly not lucid. He is smiling at us and waving, he put his car into drive and was hitting the gas pedal and doing a burnout on the hood of the explorer. Car finally slides off the hood and the wheels are all bent the wrong way and mangled, and the guy just waves at us and smiles as he limps the car away.

Enraged Explorer owner grabs him through the window and we have to stop an assault as the dude was about to start wailing on a poor old man who had lost his marbles.

Old guy died a couple weeks later. It was sad, but I will always remember the monster trucking of that explorer. Had we been walking past his driveway at the time we may have been killed, but it was still amazing.

While the driver did not catch and beat the McLaren P1, it is still some impressive driving to keep up in the Z06...

^^^^^^ such a great video.

didn't know the RC350 has a laptop-like touchpad to control the nav screen - kinda cool if you ask me - at least, until it breaks

I saw that car, in that color on the highway about a month ago. I had to do a double-take. The car looks great in the sheet metal.
