Stunt Road claims yet another victim... (pics)

Today, with a friend, while cruising stunt.. several CHP officers were going up and down the canyon, and we seen tow trucks. Unfortunately, this Audi S4 (or what's left of it) was going extremely fast and did a 300+ Ft drop. Blood ALL over the interior.. the guy was airlifted out via helicopter. More pics will follow as my friend took closer ups of the interior.

Yeah, I must say though the car has an incredibly strong chassis to survive a 300 ft drop. Looks to me he got overconfident with AWD and understeered.. Must of been going 85 MPH+++. That turn you can usually take around 60-65 safely. Stunt road is, contrary to belief, more dangerous going up than down -- just due to the false security going uphill can give you. (oh, I'll let the force of gravity going up hill correct me if I should lose it)

This is the drop where he went down.. Lots of cars go down here, including my friend... You can see the violence of the drop .. this is all according to the tow truck driver.. landed at spot 1, then bounced around to spot 2

No, S4. More HP and Torque, plus better suspension.

Its not about the suspension, its about the driver. If he thinks he superman then it doesnt matter what hes driving becuase he wont know where the limits of the car + turn + situation is and 9 times out of 10 hes goin over that cliff. The 10th time hes hitting the wall from oversteering. Either way, not a pretty ending.

Actually, you'd probably have plenty of time to finish that sentence, judging by the distance and height of that drop.
