That was a Ford Mustang, btw...and apparently it didn't have enough downforce and flipped, going 1100 feet in the air before hitting.

Wonder when we'll see some Camaro's doing the same thing (going fast, but NOT crashing, that is).

Wow...hang time. Glad he looks to be o.k....well built car. Sorry it is gone, but Ford will sell you another one!

I am going to search for a view outside of the car. Wow.

That's a kick ass camera to withstand that beating and still keep rolling.

Just to clarify - he didn't go 1,100 feet UP into the air...he traveled over 1,100 feet while off the ground before hitting.
