Is it just me, or does every automotive-related death in the Middle East, specifically Dubai and I suppose Bahrain, the direct result of driving too fast? I seem to recall a thread a few months ago about someone driving too fast in an SLR and dying as a result of a severe crash.

For driving fast you need a car that handles better. You need a Ferrari Enzo. That's got some serious downforce at high speeds and has excellent handling. You took a wrong car to be going fast. It's not just designed to look fancy, it actually serves purpose.

Diana's Mercedes wreck ...
^^It's an interesting looking 4-door S-class that wasn't available in North America. It has the front end of the then 2-door S-class coupe(not called a CL-class at that time), but it has 4-doors ...

We all chastise this guy for speeding but c'mon - almost all of us speed on here.
I just read a thread about how one of our own members picked up a CLK AMG Black Edition and he hit 170mph a few times on the way home.
To put that into other words...
170 mph = a mile every 21 seconds = 251 feet per second.
If the Benz in the OP was doing 170, there wouldn't be anything left of that car!
Be safe out there guys...
