We live in a truly special time, when 400+ horsepower muscle cars roam the streets with regularity, and even the cheapest, most basic V6 models still offer in excess of 300 ponies to play with. The fifth-generation Camaro is a perfect example of a pony car with more than enough performance at just about any level, offering drivers the opportunity to smoke tires and mount Subarus. Wait, what?

WBIR News out of Tennessee was sent these pictures by Wendy Tittsworth of a 2010 Chevy Camaro awkwardly mounting an innocent Subaru Forester. In a scene that from the outside would only seem possible in a Hollywood production, the 18-year old driver lost control of the Camaro, skidding up an embankment and getting airborne, landing right on top of the empty Subie, and making for a hilariously awkward photo.

Amazingly the Camaro driver, 18-year John Sayles, was unhurt and able to climb out of his messed-up Camaro on his own. That’s a testament to the Camaro’s numerous safety features, which admittedly made it heavier than some of its contemporaries, but the resulting vehicle has saved countless lives. There’s a good chance that Camaro will live to see the road again.

The real hero, however, is the Subaru Forester, which is almost certainly totaled, but it held up against the aggressive Camaro’s advances better than expected. The government mandates via roof testing that all new cars must be able to hold up to three times its own weight on the roof, and you can see the results for yourself. Had the Subaru been occupied, the occupants would have been almost totally unharmed, as the passenger compartment held up perfectly.

What an age we live in, eh? Now someone sign that 18 year old up to stunt drive for the next Fast and Furious installment.
