I have a similar story to the Mustang one. About fifteen years ago, my sister and I were driving west down 16th Av. at the bottom of the hill past the Foothills where it goes around the bend. It was a pretty rainy night and we were probably doing about 65, and this cherry red Corvette Stingray, maybe two or three years old comes blowing by us doing at least 150-160. After he passed us he had to cross the yellow line to pass two oother cars that were running abreast, and then cut back over to avoid hitting oncoming traffic. He didn't make it. He cut back too hard and lost control, and starts doing a flat spin on the road. It was one of those things that you almost see in slo-mo when you're watching because it was so amazing. He spun around three times before hitting the curb, then went airborne. The car flipped end over end and ended up wrapped arount a big concrete block in front of the 7-11. It was exactly like something out of a movie, but nobody walked away.
