dude. seriously. no. it's got GT3 on the back too, and yes, plenty of GT3 owners are willing to do that, and it's not a korean knock-off because it's got european plates. korean plates are almost three times the height.

I have pictures of a worse accident happened with a 911, it flew off the highway, and the pictures are not CL friendly ( you can see how the 18 years old female driver's head was chopped off )
I stopped drive fast after seeing those pictures...

Hey, I know with the lousy gas mileage Porsches get, you have to constantly follow tankers, but this is a little overkill.


Seriously, this accident reminds me of the one recently posted of the 18-year-old girl who stole her dad's new Carrera and slammed it into a tool booth post at an insane speed.

And we wonder why insurance is so high for Porsches...and for young drivers.

WOW. Maybe there should be a mandate for cars over 400hp to require special driver's training safety classes.
