Unhappy Sad Day for Relentless Ryan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ryan and I where taking the show cars to a show in Ft Myers. As we where going over a bridge at about 60 mph.....he crested the top of the bridge, and something went horribly wrong, and the car made a sharp cut to the left and slammed into the concrete divider, bounced off of that, and flew about 50 ft down the highway, and bounced of the wall on the right side of the highway wear it came to rest before hitting the wall a 3rd time. Just to show the safety of these cars he walked away. All 6 airbags deployed. I was driving the black Relentless Z and he was in the White one. The white Z has over $80,000 worth of modifications and custom work, and was rated at about 750 hp. We believe that there was some kind of catastrophic failure in the rear differential. Just glad he's ok!!!!!!! 4 years of blood sweat and tears building it, and lost it all in a matter of seconds.

WOW! Unbelieveable. Sure stands for the safety built into the cars

That's the one you started up for me when I was down there a few weeks ago isn't it? The one we were going to take a ride in?

Damn!

Sure glad he's ok.

It seems obvious to me that he had an unidentified passenger that day

How can one not believe in Guardian Angels after reading and seeing the pics. I'm glad you weren't injured.

Unreal! Glad no injuries....the car can be replaced, not the driver.

Hey, we have your machining work done on the motor & flywheel....that head was warped BAAAADD! All is good except I would suggest you replace the PP. Give us a call.

Sorry again for the bad luck.

Man that car took a helluva beating for the driver!
Glad that he was able to walk away.
Those pictures should be used as posters for seat belt/air bag safety!

Yep I think it was a combo of the great safety designing in cars these days, and the Good Lord above watching over us.
