1300 hp mercury comet brake failure crash

I couldn't agree more. there is alot of contempt for the Comet owner guy because it is perceived that he has "money" like working hard and having money to build a nice car is wrong or something.

Nothing to do with money- lots of people here have money.
It has to do with ignoring a throttle stuck at 2200 RPM, on a big powerplant... and riding the puny brakes until failure, for the glory of a video.

I get it the dude wanted to show off his car, It's cool as hell (was). But it wasn't ready, it was throwing out every sign a car guy (two of them) should be aware of, and they plowed on.
