how much of their story do you think is true? You reckon the car is flawed? or they covering up for negligence?
I think the driver was on his way to the press conferance in the coolest car in the world (in his eyes) and wanted to get a little bit of afternoon adrenaline. He mashed the throttle and he couldn´t handle what was delivered and parked it in a tree. But I dont really care, as long as exotics exist, crashing exotics will be a fact.
The car is not flawed. Americans just speculate because they can't take responsibility for their actions anymore. You're fat? Blame McDonalds. Diabetes? Blame the snack food industry. Lung cancer? Blame the tobacco company. Suck at golf? Blame the clubs. Wrecked you car? Blame the manufacturer. It's sad and pathetic. The guy was simply hauling ass and wrecked. There's no big mystery here. Happens all day, every day 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
I remember Ford Motor Company said something similar to that when the Ford Explorer Suv started rolling over on freeways and killing innocent women and children, yep and I am sure those crashes were due to driver error! Good old Firestone Tires.
I wipped out a ZR1 back in 1991 (tripple digits)....driver error and nothing else. Defective American driver judgment.
I dunno, with those cars you gotta be extra careful. I hope the driver is ok. They might have some flaws with the car, but as a driver you have to be responsible too.
Well said!! Thats what I thought when I first saw the title.. and then I was swayed by the write up.. But you are right, thats all we ever hear. I cant say that for ALL americans though, but there are the few, and when they shout, everyone hears..
That seems nuts. Just veered off the road? Going after Porsche legally for a poor-handling car (CGT) that needs instruction before driving? At a track no less. Is my memory failing me - in the past, didn't lots of people complain about the 911 handling on the higher-power cars? That is was kinda squirelly and you need to know what you were doing.
Yeah, either they need to start offering lessons, or the owners should get some just to be safe. As far as the car just veering off the road, maybe it's a flaw in the 4-wheel drive system or the suspension. I mean, didn't the '02 Murcie's have a problem with the right front brake?
The guy who says his Murcielago veered off the road is German. Still the Americans' fault? This LP640 was wrecked in Austria.

Well why don't you pipe up and let everyone know where you're from??? I'm sure we can all collectively come up with some assanine generalizations about your country.......I'll tell you what, I'll start the first obnoxious generalization and say that they're ignorant. Is that good enough??? Idiot.
Look how narrow that road is, and it appears to be a residential area. And the jackass driving was trying to make a highspeed pass? The result is not surprising, regardless of the vehicle brand he was driving.
Correct, Porsche has redesigned the suspension (again) and it is improved. That being said it raises the question is this event singular? If the suspension is "allegedly" so bad, why aren't more owners of modern Porsche's finding themselves in similar situations? I'm trying to be polite and factual, rather than accusing the driver. Porsche is in the business of producing and selling cars, not drivers. Any Law Enforcement officer evaluating this series of events is probably going to keep the criteria "was it too fast for safe conditions?" in the front of his thoughts while looking at the evidence. What do you think, was it a safe and prudent action by the driver?
