Long Jump!
How was it determined that this Subaru Impreza rally car was going exactly 136MPH when it took flight? Dunno, but that's really not important, is it? This jump is totally cool, regardless. :shift:

Rally drivers are quite simply the BEST drivers....always on the ragged edge on some one lane surrounded by big ditches, bigger trees, or even bigger cliffs....

1. No way he was doing 130+
2. Did that look fake to anyone else? I dont think the car could have stuck to the road where it landed...he lands in the incline of the next hill without any sign of rebound. I dont think that a suspension that can take that kind of impact without rebound exists.

It did LOOK cool though. :superhero:
