Doh!

That is the last place I would take a viper. They are not very forgiving in the corners. Up until that "one turn" he was kicking the ferraris but. Although 99% of racing is keeping the car on the road. So all in all the ferrari dominated.

 

[C5]

Ouch, not good!!!

 

[Torquemonster]

Yeah - that is on a local video sold here called High Octane vol 4.

The Ferrari starts in front along what looks to be a Californian moutain road. The Viper is right there waiting the chance and passes the 355, then easily holds its lead until he goes in too deep and the result is not friendly.

A friend did the exact same thing in his V12 E-Type Jag - braked too deep and shot off over the bank into the bushes.. with wifey aboard... not much damage as the tree canopy softened the landing - but wifey no likey doing freefall in car.

I was hoping the whole time I was watching the video that the Viper wouldn't go over the edge. Sure enough! DAMN, I bet he had to clean out the load in his pants after he hit the bottom 100 feet down.

Its all psychadelia on my screen.

 

[kgrif]

It freezes after about 20 seconds. I get audio but no video. What gives

 

[Achilles99]

It was psychadelic, and sometimes I got no video using Windows Media player. It played fine (both audio and video) with my DIVX player, though. So, it's probably a certain codec you need to watch the movie...

 

[SRT 10 2004]

couldnt play it

 

[tim721]

me either

 

[superdavz]

That was messed up! I cant imagine.

 

[SapphireGTS]

that really *****.

for the people that can see it, its a viper and ferrari 355 racing and the viper drives off a cliff.

DOH!

 

[Ulysses]

Driver locks the brakes up before going into a turn. Tries to steer left with the brakes locked but keeps going forward skidding right off the cliff. The GTS looks very familiar. 97 wheels and metallic candy apple red paint with white stripes. Almost like Roe's GTS but more like someone's avatar that was on here a lot a year or so back.

After the camera is off...

Location producer:
Uhhm..hi boss...uhhhm I know you said not to bother you unless it was really, really important...uhhm...do you know who in the office might have our insurance paperwork?

Can't see the video. Who was filming? The guy in the Ferrari?

Re: Viper GTS vs Ferrari F355 shootout.. HOLY SH**!!!!!!

Cameras in both cars, cameras at different places on the road, cameras in cars following both. Looked pretty well organized and professional.

Re: Viper GTS vs Ferrari F355 shootout.. HOLY SH**!!!!!!

Any tips on a video player for this or where to grab a codec? My Quicktime and Media Player apps won't play the video and DivX requires installing Gator.

 

[Achilles99]

Re: Viper GTS vs Ferrari F355 shootout.. HOLY SH**!!!!!!

I found a free divx player that doesn't require gator... or, maybe I removed gator with a spyware program ?!? Either way, I have a gator-free Divx player that I got for free off the net... try tucows.com

Re: Viper GTS vs Ferrari F355 shootout.. HOLY SH**!!!!!!
They were switching camera angles from car to car, but then this was the first camera shot from outside the cars.

My guess is that that particular segment was setup separately from the in-car shots (afterwards) to get a different angle on the two cars running on the canyon road.

And then the Viper driver was showing off (going too quickly) and he was staring at the camera too long, not thinking about his speed, or line around the corner.
Then (as mentioned) he locked his front tires and just slid off the cliff. Oops!

I saw this video about a year ago or so.

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

As for my comments: GOOD FAKE!!!

1) The wrecked car does NOT have windshield lettering (if you look carefully from the inside driver's door shot, there's no lettering). Also, it's VERY suspicious that there's NO shot of the top of the car - I bet the car doesn't even have stripes, though they did get the rims correct.

2) The stripe left on the road is NOT from a Viper tire, right? (too narrow, and not enough lines).

3) The sound of them locking up the breaks seams too early.

4) The driver didn't even turn the wheel for the corner, he intentionally drove straight. My guess is frame-by-frame edit of a Viper sliding out on to a dirt shoulder with NO CLIFF, and then editing the two videos together. ...or or some other "trickery". And the wrecked car is just some video of a different Viper that went over the side... also the sun was almost directly overhead when the "accident" occurred, but then it's about three hours earlier (or later) when they video the car down the hill.

hmmmm who ever *really* knows? Either way... it was "interesting".">

Re: Viper GTS vs Ferrari F355 shootout.. HOLY SH**!!!!!!

Doesn't seem fake to me. Right front wheel lockup on a Viper? NAW! Never heard of it!
Every time I drove my Pre-ABS Viper the right front locked. Almost caused me to spin off the road (many times)

Re: Viper GTS vs Ferrari F355 shootout.. HOLY SH**!!!!!!">

WOW!!!!

I stopped it at frame, or elapsed time 2.42 and it shows the car from a front 45 degree-ish angle, and I think I see the Dodge sticker on the windshield. But, I didn't see it from the inside looking out, but I wonder if it's high enough in the dark area that you won't see it from the angle it showed?

It looks pretty real.

Even if it wasn't that Viper, some poor Viper looked like it was in a place it sure didn't belong!
