WOW, how did that happen?

Madres!!!! ... how did that happend?? is everyone ok?. that looks nasty man.

I see a nice pitch black svt in the back

^^
thatd be the guy who made this thread lol

you gotta story behind this?

damn wtf? how in the hell did this happen?

and btw, nice svt....just had to throw that out there

Dibs on teh turbo!

damn...str-4 raped!

good thing everyones ok.

damn that sucks...didnt anyone ever tell the driver srt's are made for straight lines more than corners [poke]

glad to hear everyone is ok tho, that looked pretty bad

Thats crazy. Hope everyone is ok.

Holy Catcrap!!

damn thats the first SRT-4 wreck I've seen where the trunk/spoiler doesn't survive
generally in these epic wrecks the trunk/spoiler comes out unscathed

WOW... Wheres the Story?

Ok here is the story heading back in town after dinner we come into a curve my friend is driving, car slides out from the rear (going 50 in a curve we have done well over 60 in before) and begin to fishtail my friend tries to save it, just as he gets it about straightened out the car pulls HARD to the right so as soon as we hit gravel the car is sideways taking out a fence and begins to roll think it rolled a time or two not really sure then smacks the telephone pole which stops the car. We end up stopped upside down and are SO lucky we had our seatbelts ON! The seatbelts saved our lives im sure i had a sore shoulder and he had a cut on his head from falling out of the seat upside down when he took his seatbelt off.

wow. well um shit..
the olnly part that survived isthe rear section of the exhaust. i dont know if teh motor or turbo is any good. (things dont like being upside down like that. especailly things like engines.

this is def a reason young kids shouldnt have fast cars.....my kids are getting a car thatll do the 1/4 mile in 30 seconds lol

WTF is this supposed to mean its people like you who make it bad for others. Young kids cant have fast cars maybe you should say inexperienced drivers should not have fast cars! My friend is in no way a unexperienced driver he is 22 years old ahd drives a modified stock car and has a 11 sec civic so why not keep comments like that to yourself. What is the point your trying to make anyway? Young kids can have fast cars but everyone knows [:)][:)][:)][:)][:)] happens!

Klondike didn't mean any offense to you or your buddy I can assure you of that.

What he was implying is that younger individuals if having a car of a performance nature have a tendency to use the available power more often that the older generation, and with that in mind are more prone to accidents caused by their playfulness. But that's not to say this couldn't have happened to anyone in any car at any age.


That thing is tore up, damn. I'm really glad to hear you two basically walked away unharmed. I'm not a religious man but I'd have to say you have someone watching out for you guys.

Yeah i know just rubbed me the wrong way i guess i mean the two of us could have died and only thing you can say is make some ignorant statement. No matter how fast, slow, experienced or not people are killed by automobiles everyday and like you im not very religious myself but somethin saved our arses. I mean look at the pics we hit the tree inches from our heads and im sure if there were rear seat passengers with us they would not be here with us today.

Wow, that SRT-4 was cherry, clean and beautiful, well except for the slight dent in the back. It IS impressive how well modern cars can protect their occupants.

I can't say anything about young people having slow cars but I think young, inexperienced drivers should have SAFE cars. Hell, with the exception of classic cars, everyone should have a safe car. I'll bet both those guys would have been in pretty bad shape if they'd been driving a Chevy Vega instead of the SRT-4.

I don't know where anyone is going to find a car that will do a 30 second quarter though, a Kia Rio with an auto does the quarter in 19.3 seconds but that depends on the driver.

I had three Vegas-one of each body type. What was I thinking. [scratch]
The wagon had strengthening ribs in the roof because it kept collapsing in on itself while pre-production testing.

woah, slow down bro! you've a point in the fact that maybe the wording was a little off, it is more of an "inexperienced" driver thing and not ALWAYS "young" but typically, you've got to admit that the least experienced drivers are young. most of my friends that have dumb car stories about accidents or stupid showing-off, they're either young or the story is from a young age. but at the same time, there are plenty of responsible young drivers. i consider myself pretty responsible, i know the limit of my abilities and i know where to draw the line.

but in any case, just a few months back, i was with a friend and 2 friends of hers. she was driving her zx4, back country roads, doing nearly 90 when i looked up at the speedometer from my seat in the back, and the passenger says somethin bout a curve coming up. she locked up the breaks, sent us sideways, fortunately straightened up going off the road, just knicked a big tree, stopped in the ditch. skids marks started 530-somethin feet from where we stopped. had we gone off the road and down the embankment to the ditch sideways, we'd have been done. instead the only injury was a little burn on the driver from the seat belt, and a busted lip from the guy in the passenger seat, airbag + braces, lol. irresponsible. stupid. irrational. inexperienced. but even that was in a slow car, so it can happen in any car and to anyone, but gotta realize the typical situation of young, inexperienced, fast cars.

from seeing klondike post enough, i'm sure as well he didn't mean it as it sounded. but again, definitely understand your frustration. it happens. it's part of the internet thing, some things just don't read exactly as they were meant.

in any case, WOW. that...just sucks. seriously. glad to see the car did it job though and kept you guys alright in the front there. looks like the rims may be salvageable, lol. but idk if i've seen pictures of a worse looking car with such minor injuries. i'm sure you were, maybe still are shaken up from that. i know that wreck i was in, it scared the you-know-what out of me. when i'm riding with other people, if they go around certain corners a little fast, it still sends chills down my spine. just thankful ya'll made it out alright.

Good thing that you guys are OK. Bad thing that you're buddy couldn't save the car.

Glad you guys are ok [thumb]. My buddy had two SRT-4 and totaled both, they don't seem to hold up very well at all in wrecks which is scary.

That'll buff right out...

Seriously, though... this is why I am not a very good passenger. I use the invisible brake pedal all the time when my wife or my friends drive....

Glad you're both alright, seat belts work! You stated speeds you had driven and were going slower, I'm guessing posted speed is lower. Experianced driver and able car can still get into trouble- sand on road, animals- just saying public streets arn't the best place to approach a cars limits.

Glad you are alright...I swear ( no offfense) there will be NO srt-4's left in existance by 2015.

I see a nice pitch black svt in the back

Dude, there's a [:)][:)][:)][:)][:)][:)] up srt-4 all over the place and you look at the focus? What's wrog with you.
Anyways, that really sucks but glad everyone walked away safe.

i agree with klondike...im glad youre alright, but it tends to be young people who decide to take corners at 50 or 60.

I know someone from my high school that had just a plain neon and had already had their license suspended from other stupid crap. Well she thought it was a goo idea to go down a back road at about 120 hit a bridge ramped rolled the car 3 times and came to a stop against a tree she had to wear a neck brace for the next year and her passengers were even luckier one only had a sprained wrist! Needless to say that was a irresponsible[smackbum] driver...

i agree with klondike...im glad youre alright, but it tends to be young people who decide to take corners at 50 or 60.

^^^I always take corners at 50 or 60...... not BTW nemesis, have you seen my thread about the front lower stress bar?

Glad you are alright...I swear ( no offfense) there will be NO srt-4's left in existance by 2015.

I have been saying this for awhile. I see more kids in highschool with them than any other age group. If I had 240hp in highschool I probably would have ended up in a ditch. Instead I had a Jeep, a Neon and a VR6 Passat. None of which had any more than 180hp.

Again though, glad you guys weren't hurt, you got very lucky.

i had my srt4 for 2 years.. ran a low 12 highly moddified. and never wrecked it.. lol.. but sold it due to high insurance thanks to street racing and speeding tickets lol

In high school i had a car that didnt runs. so icouln't go fast.

i really didnt mean ANY offense to that at all, i saw pics, and the age of the driver and went 1+1=2, ill say your bud DID do a good job saving it, cuz i was ina car that SHOULD have went over a 1000 foot cliff to my ultimate demise back in 2007, but like your buddy he had enough sense to correct the car just enough, as it was his car he should know the limits of it etc etc esp having 2 fast cars, but this is were ima bump heads with ya real quick, dont get mad, but if he was experienced that situation shouldnt of happened, i know in a perfect word it prolyl wouldnt have and stuff like a slick on the road all that could have screwed something up and that happened, yes it happens, now a experienced, with years under there belt, not just ya know 6? which is a good ammount of time, knows what to do in any car all the time, my cousin 24 saved mine and his life when he was driving fast but he knows tons about all sorts of cars to know exactly what the car is doing. thats the difference between experience you say your bud has, having 2 fast cars, and an experienced driver in my book, someone that knows what any and all cars will do at any point, hence my cousin, my buddies that race pro for scca etc etc. again wasnt being harsh, just putting 1 n 1 together, sorry to aggrovate

and very glad to not hear the loss of a focus member[thumb]

I'm glad you're ok too. These things happen. One day a curve is ok, the next day a slight bit more moisture on the road and suddenly the asphalt might as well have been covered in oil. The same goes for new tires. I've seen more than one wreck caused as a result of brand new tires- and I was lucky that the times I had new tires I didn't kill myself.

You had freaking cool cars BMXer, I had a 66 Chevy II 4 dr with a 3 spd on the column that had holes in the floorboard. On more than one occasion I showed why trick drivers use those cars because they were so easy to get up on 2 wheels in a turn. I didn't do it on purpose, and God was definitely looking out for me both times. In my senior year I became the proud owner of an 85 Celica GT, and a year later, my short lived 83 RX-7. Both of those cars were killed by accidents, the Nova survived in someone else's hands.

Experienced driver= someone who slows down because they've already experienced some accidents from not slowing down.

^ Especially in the same type of car

Experienced driver= someone who slows down because they've already experienced some accidents from not slowing down.

^^ x3

oh man. when i was a wee whippersnapper...hoo boy. lets say i have had my share...of experiences lol.

since then, 2 police driving schools and some auto-x, mixed with drag racing. have some pretty neat skills now. that i do not do with the wife in the car. ronin-type shit. you know what im talkin bout.

that said, it is stuff i should NEVER have thought about doing when i was 22 or even 32.

Wow!!!

damn, i have a red srt and hope i never ever see it like that! thats bad. glad everyone is ok. best advice someone gave me about the car is "keep it under 40 in corners or it will flip over." i guess its true.

I, unlike some folks, really like the SRT-4..Great , fun fast car for the money, but they are NOT known for their stellar handling abilities...I tested all three years, and they were a blast, but they def. had their issues with rear end handling when pushed hard.

Again , glad you guys are okay.

Glad I drove a slow car in high School too, my SVT Focus [:D]

time to turn it into a go-kart

Yeah still dunno what happened been out to the site a couple times at different times of the day in the SVT and took the "corner" at 60 no problems its not sharp at all just dont understand what happened. Like i said when he had it just about saved it pulled hard to the right and that was it i know he had trouble earlier with the strut mounts i believe but its at the shop now gettin looked over. Ill keep everyone posted and thanks for the kind words and keep assumptions to yourselves. No offense

A young, inexperienced driver will quite often drive to 'the edge' of his abilities (and occasionally go over), whereas an experienced driver will know from that experieice when (and where) to back off a bit. I am constantly telling my 2 daughters to cool it behind the wheel until they are able to assess the entire driving environment, not just the 50 feet of road directly in front of them.

it'll buff out...but seriously I'm glad no one was seriously hurt..glad you had your seat belts on....a fence $300...a telephone pole $1000...a nice car $22,000...a life priceless.

glad you guys are ok, sucks about the srt, i love those things, would so like to get my hands on one

neons were my first love, it's always sad to see one like that, seems they're prone for destruction though sadly enough

and as per the inexperienced thing, everyone starts off new, situations are what makes us better, as a driver and in general. i've been in almost the same spot, going around a corner i took almost every day on a favorite road of mine, one day i came up on it and clipped the edge of the shoulder which has a small drop off onto gravel, started losing the back end, overcorrected and ended up going into someones front yard about an inch from a tree and 2 feet from concrete and stone ditch. wasn't even speeding that time, just made a mistake, we all do it, and we all learn from it, or we're weeded out lol

Damn, glad everyone is ok, but how much trouble is your friend in for destroying all that property....are those two poles actually supporting each other lol?
