speed kills

**harshman** · 12-22-2005

My dad just sent me these pics and I'm sure they are floating around the net. Makes me think more about safety and less about speed. I don't see any gore – seems clean to me. Not that this would have helped him but I'm gona install a cage now.

There goes a million bucks.

Ahhh, that's not too bad-- it should buff right out with some Zaino...

Seriously though, ouch. I wonder how fast he was going.

Supposedly the accident happened near Milan in October; estimated speed was 250 km/h (155mph)

Oh, and uh, that would be "squishy bits" under the green tarp in pic #3.

i was guessing a deer

**trapin** · 12-23-2005

Squishy bits?

I'd like to know what the guy hit to make the car detonate into a thousand pieces like that. Doesn't say a whole hell of a lot about Ferrari's safety standards does it?

Race tracks are for doing 155 mph. Not residential streets. Sorry to hear he lost his life, but this should be a valuble lesson to others.

was that an enzo or another type..hard to tell from remains..

**TonyL** · 12-23-2005

it was an enzo. compare'd the quarter panel with a non wrecked version.

Thats enzo number 2 that i know of where the carbon fiber passenger tub exploded.

Just because you can afford the Enzo that does not make you Michael Schumacher.

ain't that the truth!

Does it at least make you Ruben barrichello?

I know the car blew apart but would it have been much different with a vette, if the speed and impact were similar?

LOL, from what I hear it does not.

**Johnny Blaze** · 12-25-2005

I think I'd rather take my chances in the 'vette. Carbon fibre may be incredably strong, but when it reaches it's limit it shatters like a cheap wine glass.

hmmm...I wonder how much they want for the rear wheels and tires

**Damn True** · 12-26-2005

Going fast on public roads = stupid

**DanT69** · 12-26-2005

Must have been passing and hit another car? A guy in a Honda Civic hit a tree going over a 100 mph on the 2 lane highway near my house. People thought a small plane had crashed the wreckage was so wide spread. The driver died on impact and his girlfriend who was riding along they found about 100 yards away still strapped in her seat.

Money doesnt buy talent, exhibit two;

**TonyL** · 12-27-2005

there's and enzo on there that wrecked doing 85 mph. I'da rather been in a civic than that car.

Is it me or do the Corvettes appear to "stay together" better than the others (especially Porsche)?
