i saw that. but a million dollar car wouldn't have saved his life. money can't overcome the laws of physics. no car would have survived that crash at that speed.

Friend of mine has a 996 twin turbo, him and some of his buddies go past 310kph at times. He emails Porsche and ask if they have any safety devices for sale since he sometimes drives at that speed. Guy from Porsche replied with a one liner and said.... At 300 and you have an accident, you die.
driving around tonight after doing the intake mod i came up on a brand new mercedes sl600.
We played around a bit, but there were other cars on the road and we were on the messed up part of wilshire blvd where the road is crap.
For a bit though there, i swear i was walking up on him.

It's wise to assume that, and it certainly was true for Senna whose crash at Tamburela Turn at Imola was about 300kph. But lady luck plays a role too, at Indianapolis Franchitti went upside down at 350kph, was giving interviews about it 5 minutes later. Suffice to say it's possible to live or die from most any speed. Zanardi's car was cut in half, worse looking that that Ferrari in the news. He lost his legs but not his life.
I think more lives would be saved if passenger automobiles used welded doors, roll cages, 5 point safety harness and helmets.
How about ejection seats that deploy upon high velocity impact? Don't crash inside a tunnel tho. LOL...

I had a 300ZX try to race me a couple nights ago in traffic. I blew pas him and he then blew past be after I began breaking.
He kept trying to race me and was driving crazy! I was like fuck it, he's not worth getting into an accident over...
Some people just don't realize...

Yea, the only one I've seen so far is the new M3 coupe and the driver was an older guy who was driving it like a grandma. I still have yet to see any ISFs, but then again I don't get to drive as much as I like since I'm always traveling.

sounds like the elections in the Philippines.
M3s are a dime a dozen in this area. Old M3s, new M3s (coupes and sedans)...M3s are great cars but they are just too ordinary here.
The 6 series in general is ugly so the M6 doesn't do anything for me either.
The only BMW I think is a remarkable is the M5....that car is a beast.

I was driving home this evening just going with the flow of traffic. I noticed a car in the faster lane come up and just kind of slow down next to me...it turned out to be a BMW 1-series. Then he punched it so I turned on Sport mode and M and took off in the lane behind him.
I gained on him fairly easily and had to keep letting off the gas as I was getting too close to him and there were other cars in the lane over. Eventually I just let it go because traffic started to pick up and it's not worth causing any accidents.
Just another case of a typical BMW driver thinking he has an ultimate driving machine.

Sorry, but even though I'm as guilty as anyone, I still know that street racing is for losers. Consider me reformed.
