In the movie Speed Zone<\/em><\/a>, familiarly known as Cannonball Run 3<\/em> and ripe for an award for one of the most incredible ensemble casts ever, the opening sequence ends with a Lamborghini<\/a> Countach eluding the police by skipping over a lake. You know, like a rock. <\/p>\n Mythbusters’ new gearhead Kari Byron wanted to see if that could really be done, so they tested the stunt out on a scale model Lamborghini over an appropriately scaled body of water. Then they tested the stunt again with a full-sized car – Pontiac Fiero, not a Countach – over a real pond, and the results made us go something along the lines of “That’s awesome.”<\/p>\n Follow the jump<\/a> for the videos, which are broken up into a couple of segments.
