Wow, that is terrible. Looks like a Caprice and I couldn’t make out the other car. Is that blood al over the roof of the Caprice? Looks like people were spread out for a distance too. WTF ---

maybe its just me getting older, or the fact that ive seen this in the news too much but the idea of street racing really doesnt appeal to me anymore… i think its really stupid and irresponsible… so sad, but as hard as it is to say, they shouldnt have been there in the first place ---

Go Darwin :tdown: > “There were just bodies everywhere; it was horrible,” said Crystal Gaines, 27, whose father was among the dead. > Gaines said she grabbed her child but could not help her father, William Gaines Sr., 61.

> [@letitroll](#): > > or > > street racing in a caprice? while it probably was a bunch “gangsta’s” in a Caprice with a slow L99 (4.3L) there are alot of “fast” caprices, theres tons that run high 13s all the way down to low 11s Hell theres even a few twin turbo ones turning single digits that are street driven The 94-96 Lt1 Caprices can be made quick relatively easy I have a 215k mile 94 with a 2500 stall, shift kit, homemade air intake and pcm program that will turn low 14s all day long Not fast by any means but quicker than alot of nyspeeders ---
