I dare say a Falcon crashing at that speed would come out alot worse then that did.

The driver died btw.

Doesnt look like the kind of road that a smart person would do 300k on. Adds weight to my point, just cause you can afford one, it dont mean you know how to drive one.

I was under the impression that you had to 'qualify' to buy an Enzo. Ie, you had to have something similar to a CAMs licence. Maybe Dad can actually drive the car and son is just a whingy ИИИИИИ. I don't care how rich I was, my son can drive the car HE has worked for.

And have you seen Tara Reids nipples? Worst boob job ever! In fact, so bad that the Family Guy references them in an episode as pieces of Pepperoni. I'm sorry - nice head and nice body - but you can pickup chicks just as good looking from any local supermarket. Dime a dozen.

The only qualification you needed to buy an Enzo in the USA while they were on sale was $600,000. ;)

anything is gong to be a mess at those speeds... imagime an excel at those speeds... a falcon would be bad enough though... they dont engineer them to withstand a crash at all, let alone at those speeds... they are obvously so naive that they think the poeple that drive them are great drivers with a sense of road smarts... that theyll only be maxxed on the race track... my a**

Well I had no idea who Tara Reid was so I did a Google.
All I can say is I'm suprised one of those pics didnt have her tit "accidently" falling out. Seems to happen a lot to her. I saw 4 pics of 4 seperate "tit escape" incidents.

Me think it happens too much to be an accident! Media Whore!

i'm sure if you knew how to manufacture a car to withstand hitting something head on travelling at 84 meters per second and have it not shatter into a million pieces there'd be alot of car manufacturers and race teams offering you a job...

Was that serious? Cos it's not true. Ferrari picked you to buy them, not the other way. If i'm not mistaken, most had to of owned another ferrari before they could buy the Enzo..

i was quite sure there was an interview process and yes, you had to have prior ferarri ownership history to be "approved" to buy an enzo..

I was under the impression that there were only 500 made and 499 sold and you were pre-approved by Ferrari to get one (Not driving, but just 'cause you were famous and cool... or used to be).

The thing is that the car is made up of carbon fibre. Carbon will snap or stay strait and rigid. If does not bend like steel. So you effectively loose your crumple zone apart from the aluminium frame, what you can see is still in tact. The car is designed to shatter because that is what carbon will do and in the process absorb the energy from the crash. At the end of a crash all you should have is black dust and aluminium frame.

If I had a ferrari, it wouldn't be sitting in a carport. From the looks of this, it's parked where anyone can get to it. I dont know who'd be that crazy.
