I thought I recognized the rim as a GT's.

I would have figured it would have been a newer better car.

The GT is slower than today's Turbo.

I'm pretty pissed at the driver for his carelessness. Too bad a Porche is nothing more than a fiberglass P.O.S. with an okay engine. I mean, that little tree should've been mowed right over. Instead it crumpled that junk car into a box.

I saw a sheet metal & tube frame cop car plow into a similarly sized tree at 100mph this summer... similar damage. Similar death.

I didn't see it in a single newspaper or news broadcast, however, and I looked.

Had he been in a truck, that tree would be gone. Not the point though, I understand what you're saying, and that driver shouldn't have been going so fast...

*I still think Porches, Corvettes, Lambos, Farraris, etc are piece of sh*ts...

Nothing really survives a force like that at those speeds, truck, metal, aluminum, bamboo, or otherwise. LOL

NBC reported last night during the 6PM national news that investigators said that the vehicle was travelling at between 45 and 50 mph when the driver lost control in a curve and crashed. BTW...The driver of the vehicle was an experience race car driver.

Forgive me for being skeptical about that entire report after seeing the remains of the crash.
