Speed saves? Saleen Mustang stunt driver evades gunman

[Roman]

On his way home one night, Chris Wilks was driving his black 1999 Saleen Mustang in Dallas when a mysterious Chevy Avalanche drove up beside him as though the driver wanted to say something. Used to the attention his 425h-p muscle car attracted, Wilks thought nothing of it and kept on driving. Up ahead, the two vehicles came to a stop light, and suddenly the passenger in the Chevy pulled out a gun and fired at the Mustang.

Wilks accelerated out of the scene, the bullet missing both the driver and car, but eventually the crazed Chevy caught up and began firing once again. Using skills learnt during a previous stint as a stunt driver, Wilks managed to get away once again and then dialed 911. He then began chasing the pickup himself in an attempt to get its license plate.

Barreling down the highway at 100 mph, the pickup eventually lost control and crashed into a shed containing a propane tank, which exploded. Nobody was seriously injured and police managed to arrest an 18- and 19-year old after finding a .45-caliber pistol. Sadly, Wilks may now be selling the car that possibly saved his life.

Ja dan moet je met zo'n Saleen Mustang wel flink remmen, wil je dat bijhouden.

De nieuwe Mustang van Saleen is trouwens wel heel erg vet. Vooral in de Parnelli Jones uitvoering.

Ik zou ook heel erg hard er vandoor gaan wanneer Sean Paul naast me staat :+

160 km/h in een tank vind ik trouwens best link

Met wel 100MPH

Ik verbaasde me ookal! Wat een snelheid is dat zeg, ongehoord

Nja, de maximum snelheid op de snelweg in Amerika is meestal 55, soms 75 mijl per uur. 100 is vrij heftig daar
