I remember hearing that more people have died in the Carrera GT than any other exotic.

No that looks perfect. Usually people hit a pole on one side or another. That one looks right down the middle.

I heard they are a handful to drive if you get too crazy with it.

That telephone pole appears to be right where the drivers legs would be, I wonder how badly he was hurt?

Huh? That makes how many GT's off the streets now. I know of at least 15 GT's that are no longer with us or in the "repair shop" with the $300k repair job. Doesn't look like it holds together as good as the Enzo.

The drivers compartment looks relatively unscathed in that pic.

Thats the thing that kind of worries me about that picture. Aside from the windhsield, nothing about the compartment looks damaged. The roof is ok, the doors seek straigh, the is no "kink" in the frame behind the driver. Where did all the energy go? He must have been moving at a good clip to plant the pole that far midship.

Anyone remember RS's 'sclade pictures? You could literally trace the impact energy around the A pillar, through the roof, but you can't do that with the P-car. Thats kind of scary to think the driver may have adsorbed that much energy...

Uh, about 4 feet of the front of the car? What did you expect, the front to remain intact and have the rear bumper fall off?

And then you go making assumptions as to how fast he must've been going? What if he was doing 20mph is a four foot crush zone sufficient? 30mph? 100mph?

Sorry, but I get annoyed when people jump to far out conclusions from just one pic. I guess it's those damn speed bumps the SUV soccer moms wanna put in my neighborhood getting me short tempered. Bitches.
