Wow, that guy is lucky he wasn't seriously injured. Its unfortunate that such a nice car was destroyed, but this just goes to show that every part of your car should be inspected carefully before doing any track time. Something must have been damaged either before or during his time on the track. Front suspension wouldn't just give out like that if it was in good shape. Either that, or it wasn't up to the task of carrying the car in the first place.

I fOrget the type of cobra kit it was it cost around 75k. And it was reduced to turd just like the vid minus a limb. This guy was so luck. Get a roll cage mate.

IIRC, most cobra kits utilize a lot of Mustang II parts, particularly suspension, which are fairly light duty by racing standards and never made to withstand the speeds and loads seen in road racing. Probably not the greatest idea to use one for this kinda thing.
