A car gone to waste, but then again its sad what happened to the guy regardless of how his driving was. I hope no one else was hurt though.

man did that car explode though


It doesn't look like the car was in much of a fire, it wasn't badly charred . . .

Ok, so maybe the guy was doing 100+. So maybe the guy did have a blowout at 100+ and wrapped himself around a tree/telephone pole. At least he was smart enough to do it early AM when there is nobody else on the road. If there was traffic, it's possible he may not have been going so fast. We can never know, and we could beat this dead horse forever. If you had an Enzo, and you were 41 years old, and you were driving somewhere early in the morning on a straight road that had no cars on it, HOW THE HELL COULD YOU RESIST? I can't see how anyone could hold themselves to 65mph on a road like that when you are driving arguably the most ultimate street legal performance machine available in the US. I certainly wouldn't be doing 65mph, I would have been up around 165 .

ouch... that's not gonna buff out.

Considering it's an Enzo, and the fact that that it appears the only salvageable part is that one wheel... I'm sure it's only a matter of time before the entire thing is on ebay with a starting bid of $100,000.




... Rich or Poor, Stupid or not... I truly feel sorry for his family.

That is very sad too see. The guy lost his life and that is sad whether it was from speeding or from a blowout.

Took some serious speed to cause that kind of carnage if no other cars were involved. Whether he died because he as being stupid or some fault not under his control (Blowout), My respects to his family.

Cars can be replaced... Lives cannot.

Wow that is the most stupidest thing I've ever heard. How can you compare the # of cars in the world that can go 200mph getting in accidents and cars that cannot go 200mph and getting in accidents?

^^^
He said hp, not mph. I question it too but just giving a little help

Um, this isn't an Enzo tire in this pic so I question the "no other cars involved" statements. That is unless a ripped up tire just happened to be sitting in the middle of the road...Maybe they're only showing us what they want to.
