Two men have been killed while using the runway at a small Colorado airport to test drive a 2016 Dodge Challenger Hellcat.
The sky blue muscle car crashed after rocketing off the runway at the Buena Vista Regional Airport Friday, becoming airborne and sailing across a ravine, the Denver Post reported.
Lynd Fitzgerald, 71, of Colorado Springs, and Roger Lichtenberger, 76, of San Marcos, Calif., were pronounced dead at the scene, authorities said.
What a way to go out.

I hope Travis Gregory Stano and Lonathan Oscarson are okay. I heard that Roaro Kleibenschnott dove from the speeding car and narrowly avoided the crash

What did they "ram" into?

used to do this at NKT. 03 cobra 16,000+ feet of pavement 400 feet wide. Good times

My guess is since it was a dodge was it blew up when they revved the engine.

Why do I feel like they had "The Way" by Fastball cranked up on the sound system?

It takes a lot longer than you would think to decelerate from 150-180 than the average person would think. at 150 mph you are covering about 75 yards per second . Yards run out pretty quick at that rate

Makes you wonder if they just decided to cash it in with a little flair?
