I don’t know if the passenger made it out alive, but from the looks of the cabin the pole stopped right at the firewall. I also just noticed there weren’t any tire marks on the ground to indicate stopping. I’ll see what else I can find about it.

looks like somebody ran out of talent…

damn

That pisses me off more than anything. People with cash buy these cool cars and then total them because they have no driving skills. Assholes.

From what I’ve read CGT’s have car problems. It could’ve been that. The Enzo on the other hand is user error.

I know with the Koenigsegg you can take a class on how to drive the car after you buy it. A guy opted not to and totaled the car 8 hrs after he bought it.

Telephone Pole 1 - Carerra GT 0 FINAL

What a shame…

damnn that suck

Ouch

damn one of the sweetest cars out :frowning:

:stupid:

buff right out…

that sucks

i doubt he would have had to hit that hard to get to the pole to the firewall, being as there’s no engine up front. but still…

pretty sure when you buy a CGT from Porsche they send you to a drivers training class. Unfortunately, one driver school isn’t enough for that monster.

Did anyone see the Porsche crash on Arona road in greensburg the other day. 2 killed. Car was so badly damaged the rescue crew wasn’t sure what make it was at first.

Arona road aint in greensburg

I saw the news article, it was unrecognizable. And they said the guy was from Greensburg. Arona gets pretty close to Gbg.

As for the Carrera GT, it’s a lot like liter bikes, but I’m sure there are less deaths than with the bikes. With bikes though, they are cheap and easy to come by, with cars, they are not so cheap, and in a lot of cases, extremely limited production. Really though, I think a few wrecks are over publicized, just because everyone will look at pictures of a wrecked exotic car. There are tons of people like Jay Leno with these cars sitting in a showroom.

great story tell it again :tool:

I think that article was posted on pittspeed. I don’t remember where the guy was from but it was two guys that died. One was a father and it was his daughter’s birthday.

Isn’t that road right off the turnpike on 30 ? I know I have seen signs for it
