Wow.

watching it on video is not exciting at all though, i'm sure i'd pussy out if they asked me to do it though lolz

I dunno why u need a consultant to do the math. Anyone with PH12 can figure out the correct speed. You basically can't have less than 0g (ie your freefall trajectory is exactly the same as the curvature of the ramp) at the top.

I'd be WAY more scared of driving off the side of the loop by accident!

Nobody could've forseen the bumper dragging though. Remember kids: remove your rear bumpers before driving your own loops in your backyards.

Very nice...

I wonder if one of those huge front wings would've helped!

Thats pretty sweet. The driver's gotta remember a lot of things (staying straight, keeping his speed at 36 MPH and keeping the car in control) while experiencing 6 g's at the same time.
