How not to drive your hemi Cuda

I had a H.S. friend who had a 69 Judge weird thing happened on Prom night at my H.S. he took his date home afterward and on his way home he lost control at 55mph flipped his car 7 times nose over end. There were witness to what happened even the State Trooper verified his speedo broke at 55 mph on first impact and he was killed instantly.


Tires--they lost traction and and the car started to go sideways and then suddenly griped very hard and the car flipped

Or a tire blew out. We don't always hold the steering wheel tightly, hopefully you would feel a vibration right before the tire blows but if not the steering wheel can spin and flip the car.

Tire are made much better now--if they are not old or cheap.

I like to know what tires were on that Barracuda ? Maybe 17--18 wheels. It might have been more the cars fault than the driver..I mean maybe he went that fast in a different car and it was OK. Maybe different size wheels-tires, springs the car would had not lost control at that speed?

Yeah he was going waaaaaaay too fast in the first place..he might had said but I only punched wot for a few seconds

That might had been one fast car, like in the 10 second range
