Too close to Detroit, lol
Makes me wish I owned one of these cars, ha ha ha.

Guy goes trying to show off taking off fast-maybe turning on to the street ?
Car ends up losing control and............................


"state police say Morse was the only person in the vehicle. Witnesses say he was on the ramp for northbound US-23 when he stopped for several moments, then quickly sped onto the freeway. He lost control soon after and crashed into the median fence and was pronounced dead at the scene."

so much for air bags and all that "safe" stuff, Kowalski 1970 Dodge car was safer in a crash, i don't care what anybody else believes..

Police are investigating a single vehicle crash that happened Sunday afternoon, killing 43-year-old Martin Morse of Howell.

According to our media partners, WHMI, state police say Morse was the only person in the vehicle. Witnesses say he was on the ramp for northbound US-23 when he stopped for several moments, then quickly sped onto the freeway. He lost control soon after and crashed into the median fence and was pronounced dead at the scene.

No other vehicles were damaged and there is no clear answer to why the driver behaved the way he did.

4/15/13 - A Howell man killed in a crash on US-23 Sunday has been identified. State Police from the Brighton Post say that 43-year-old Martin Morse of Howell was killed when his 2013 Dodge SRT Viper lost control as it entered northbound US-23 from M-59 in Hartland Township around 1pm Sunday. Witnesses told troopers they saw Morse turn from westbound M-59 onto the northbound US-23 ramp, when he stopped for several moments and then accelerated at a high rate of speed onto the freeway, where he lost control, traveled across the north bound lanes and struck the center median cable barrier. The vehicle traveled under the top two cables of the barrier, but was stopped by the bottom cable. Morse was pronounced dead at the scene. The State Police were assisted at the scene by the Livingston County Sheriff Department, Hartland Fire Department and Livingston County EMS. (JK)

Sad to see, but looks like a case of "more money than brains" - and that assumes they were able to find his brain after what looks like a probable decapitation the way that top is peeled off.
Sorry for his family.
 
Ouch that goes to show know your toys limits as well as your own.
 
Anyone buying or even driving a factory built HIGH PERFORMANCE VEHICLE should have to take a high performance driving school before ever getting the keys to drive on the open road.

Many Vipers, including at the Auburn Hills Tech center get wrecked by drivers that have no idea or RESPECT for the power at the right foot.

Many Vipers, Ford GT, ZO6 Vettes and the foreign Super cars get wrecked in the 1st few days of ownership.

It is a shame that the guy died, the safety barrier cable probably is what killed the guy, but had he crossed the center line he might have killed many more in a head on crash.

Have many friends that own them, they all RESPECT the power, THESE ARE FACTORY RACE CARS WITH PLATES and should be treated as such.
