Owner wrecks 707hp Dodge Challenger Hellcat 1 hour after buying it...

Looks like a classic case of someone not knowing the car and quite probably the road as well, and getting in over their head. Here is more explanation of where it happened. It looks like they went too fast over the crest of a hill, got into a bit of a "tank slapper" trying to slow down, dropped a wheel off the pavement, tried to bring it back on too quickly and lost control. I bet it gets repaired.

A car dealer friend of mine told me that you would be surprised at how often cars get crashed on test drives, or the first day of ownership as people try to explore the performance of the car.

A driver like this does not need 700 HP to wrap a car around a tree on a winding road. They would have accomplished this feat in a 300 HP as well...simply a matter of time.

A case of More HP just gets you to that tree Faster
There is a lot of reasons to do the 500 mile take it easy break in for a new car
The engine, settle the suspension and Hello The Tires. Gotta break in new tires, scuff off the release agents

I guess this guy doesn't have to worry about that now
Well one positive, there is a brand new low mile Hellcat dodge Hemi in salvage yard in CO ready to drop in a Boxster

How long would that take to wrap around a tree

Fortunetly his 2 occupants weren't hurt. Since it's the Holidays, I won't make any disparaging remarks about the driver. Hopefully the embarrasement of this article going world-wide is enough of a punishment for him. Based on the damage, he's very lucky to be alive and not have the deaths of 2 friends on his conscience.
