I've seen the Green Mamba running in person (twice). It's a god damn monster (in all the right ways) and if it was destroyed in a crash (taking its driver with it) then I guarantee that man died doing what he loved with the biggest shit-eating grin mankind has ever witnessed. It's incredible to feel and hear all that power compressed into something as small as a car.
What this video doesn't show is the crowd in the stands cheering, sweating profusely and getting sunburned (night time be damned) by the heat and brightness of those flames. And loving every fucking second of it. Earplugs offer no respite from the noise (it'd be perfect for Ottawa). Having ample drinking water on hand when this thing is in operation is a must if you're close enough to feel any heat from it. Nothing can be accomplished while this thing is alive and doing ... well, anything. All eyes are on it exclusively.
It's a good litmus test too. If you stand in its presence during operation and either don't feel primitive aggressive urges stirring within you or your first thought is something retarded like "god how much gas must that be wasting?" or "this can't be good for the environment," surrender your man card immediately and go troon yourself out, because you're no man.
