low mileage - like 18 miles - Hellcat donor.

These thing are apparently great for separating the wheat from the chaff...
But you can walk away from a rollover like that now days so at least there's that.

That's the truth. That's 80's volvo territory.
Evidently that was a thing with the 1978-1979 Porsche 911 turbo. And then Porsche got sued and the United States lost the turbo for six years. I hope that doesn't happen with Hellcats...
Shouldn't lower pressures aid in traction?
Also, vehicles saving lives makes moot the "survival of the wise" theory...
See this is the problem, people are stupid and don't know how to handle 700 horsepower, so they just floor it inspecting nothing to go wrong. And I mean come on 18 miles, the owner didn't even try to break the car in before driving it hard.
A guy at work has one, I think he said for the first 500 miles it only gives you 500 hp as a nanny for engine break in.
(Only 500 hp. What kind of crazy world do we live in when that statement is made?)
I didn't see anywhere it said how the car was driven or what led to it's demise. Maybe it fell off a transporter. Maybe it slid into ditch and flipped avoiding a deer.
Are we just making E36 M3 up now because it's a hellcat?
Re-read the article. Apparently it's not the 1st, it's just the lowest mile example. The news article says this is number 20.

I saw an old square ranger getting dragged back up onto it's wheels just the other day. What does that have... 110HP?
Plenty of videos of people seriously injuring themselves on bicycles. There's no power number low enough to be stupid proof. I do think that regardless of power there might be a financial argument for buying the biggest, newest thing you can wreck since us Americans live under a health care system where it doesn't even take all the fingers on one hand to count the number of broken bones that adds up to more money than a Hellcat anyway.
