dbackg Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 It is obvious that this is a jealous camaro owner. 1. Looks like a an auto dealership complex. 2. Pictures were taken on different days. Look @ the sky. 3. Looks like the SS got rear ended, bad Ford pickup driver. Bummer, this happened and yes we should absolutely respect the massive HP these beast have ... and then smile as we shift through the gears and blow every camaro & dodge away. Looks bad but not really, not totaled. I do laugh at the camaro viagra commercial ... remember there will always be jealous haters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeVA Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Where what happened? All I can get out of the video is a picture of a camaro lot, a picture of a truck with a smashed front end, a picture of a Shelby that looks like it backed into a wall/ support, and some stock photos of a Shelby at a track. I guess I'm supposed to assume that the Shelby driver lost control due to high hp and backed into the truck and then jumped up against the building, or that they lost control, spun backwards into the truck and then somehow jumped over to end up against the building leaving the truck in place? Looks like a lot of disjointed, non-associated images to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert M Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 It is obvious that this is a jealous camaro owner. I thought that at first also, but then I noticed that the user name of the person who authored the video is svtmattUT, I don't think a GM guy would have SVT in his user name. "If" this did happen as it is being presented, WOW, I'll bet the SS owner felt...............well, I'll be polite, "Little". It reminds me of the commercials on TV..............'Wanna get away?"........ R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitro Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Very sad to see this happen to anyone. Looks like a lot of damage. I'm sure the Chevy guys had a ball with this one. Still feel bad for the guy that owns the car though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert M Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 What confuses me is how this happened, end result against the pole? You would think that if the Ranger rear ended the SS, the movement would have stopped at that point, but then the SS is back end against a pole. Did the Ranger hit the SS so hard that it lauched the just under 4000lb. car against the pole, backwards?!?!? R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitro Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 After looking at the video again it looks like the Ford Ranger rear ended the Shelby at a high rate of speed. Impact may have spun the car around and backward into the sign. Possibly the Shelby driver was not the one at fault here, unless of course he pulled out in front of the Ford Ranger.

supercompdad Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 With out going into any rumors or fingerpointing I will give my assessment of what happened as it was in my town and I know the owner. Yes there was a Camaro show going on at the local GM dealer which just happens to be across the street from the Ford dealer. As the SS was coming out of the Ford dealer, showng off or not I don't know, his foot got wedged between the accelerator and brake pedal and started to slide. He was hit by an oncoming Ranger pickup going the other way and ended up against the pole in the picture. I talked to him a couple months ago and he said the car was being fixed. It is too bad, as this is a small town and it did happen in front of a lot of eyes, that he had to endure countless acccusations and rumors about what happened. True or not I don't know and am only saying what I actually heard from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSSNAKE Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Wow it's so sad to see this. Whatever the particulars he should be exempt from any more embarrasing moments for, say, about,.........150 years as he certainly has paid his dues. (He wasn't lucifer in his last life was he?) I hope he can get the car fixed "good as new" and assure him (if I may be so bold) that we all feel his pain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelbymotorsports Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 lol...kick him while he is down... Kick him while he's down What's the use of a registry if we're going to only enter sugary sweet stuff and ignore other parts of the cars history? This is the second time in a week that someone seems unhappy with the idea that the registry would make a notation of a Shelby being involved in an accident. I hope I'm not the minority here but as a buyer I sure would like to know if the Super Snake I was thinking of purchasing had previous collision damage to it.

shel-b001 Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Yup Any info on a car should go into the registry that`s what they are for to record the vehicles HISTORY. Five years from now someone may want to buy the car & could get it`s history from the registry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DubbsFaris Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Thats why the registry is so tough to keep up to date- I think owners look at it as the dreaded carfax report, if they have wrecked theirs, and the buyers want to have it accurate. Its a tough balance for sure, but dont blame the registry for wanting accurate history on cars. Initially I thought this happened in Texas, the plates looked like Texas. But I havent heard about it till now, so maybe it was in WY. That should narrow it down. How many SS are there in WY? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelbymotorsports Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 +1 Owner needs to confirm information with registry. So the registry is to ignore all accidents unless the owner makes contact with us? Lets use that other recent Super Snake accident as an example. You know the one driven in the snow and wrecked by a radio personality. So although this radio personality discusses his "accident" on the radio the Shelby Registry is to ignore the damage because the owner didn't contact us? So although the shop that is repairing this radio personalities SS contacts Shelby American for parts pricing and provides us with the owners name and VIN number, the Shelby Registry is to ignore the damage because the owner didn't contact us? So although the insurance agent contacts Shelby American to verify what is a "Super Snake" that their radio personality client wrecked, the Shelby Registry is to ignore the damage because the owner didn't contact us? I'm having difficulty following this logic. Now back to the Wyoming Super Snake. So you're saying that if someone emails me the vin number and I run a Carfax report that shows the car being involved in an accident on that date & at that location the registry is to ignore the damage because the owner didn't contact us? I can only think of one reason anyone would not want that info in the registry and that would be so that they could hopefully fool a potential buyer of the car. I don't know about other registries but as long as I have a say I'm not going to let the integrity of the Shelby American Registry be manipulated by leaving out any material facts from the cars history.

SSSNAKE Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Geez Steve, you got all that from Dan’s statement? I think the concern is for accurate information after being obtained and discerning whether that information is legit, malicious or somewhere in between and that it really needs to be verified with the owner in some manner as he/she may actually have a sense of integrity as well and the truth will (or should) become obvious at some point. I’m going to assume that you would not simply take information without verifying facts or communicating with the owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m going to assume that you would not simply take information without verifying facts or communicating with the owner. What I got from his post was that he suggested no accident information should go into the registry unless the owner verifies it. Using the other SS example involving a radio personality, does anyone really think that this radio personality is going to contact the registry with his accident info? FYI, so far he has not. Does anyone really think that he would respond to a request for verification? Of course the registry isn't just going to take an annoymus persons word that so & so wrecked their Shelby and enter that info into the registry but how much more verification is needed when the owner admits wrecking his car on the radio, the owners repair shop calls me saying that he has the owners wrecked car in his shop and then another call comes in from the owners insurance agent discussing the damage. I'm still not understanding why some folks think, well that's not enough proof, you need to talk to the owner before making a note in the registry. Same with the Wyoming Super Snake. We've seen the accident pics, we know the accident location, we know the accident date, don't you think that once the registry matches up the SS VIN number to a CarFax report showing a rear impact accident to a SS on that date and at that location, that the right car has been found? How many Super Snakes were involved in a rear end wreck on that day, at that location and match those internet pics? I would say just one. Man if I'm ever charged with a crime I want some of you on the jury That's just a joke to lighten the mood some. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY500SS Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 I am a firm believer in the integrity of the Shelby American Registry. That's why I think it would be worthy for the owners conformation. Wrong or inaccurate information can be just as damaging to the registry as no information at all in regards to a wrecked vehicle. Just my .02 That being said, I hold the people in charge of the Shelby Registry in the highest regards. It's a tough and possibly sometimes thankless job.
