View Full Version : Option's project Z33 crashed at 200mph mental pimp 10-04-2003, 11:58 AM this happened at theSilver State Challenge road race, the driver walked away, cough*this rocks*cough mental pimp 10-04-2003, 12:00 PM hehe mental pimp 10-04-2003, 12:01 PM yay! spdspappy 10-04-2003, 12:03 PM OUCH! I'm glad he's ok... Kev 10-04-2003, 01:36 PM Any word on the cause? Lift? Driver error? wakeech 10-04-2003, 01:46 PM ...what a shame. beautiful, beautiful car. dang. looking at that aero kit (beastly but utile) i don't think there's any way that car's gonna "lift" at any speed. it's either driver error, or an irregularity in the road (meaning he hit it, and it's his fault ;)) that threw the car off the road into that ironically well placed pole... weird. oh wait, is that pole part of that ex-car?? mikeb 10-04-2003, 01:59 PM what a shame I like the looks of that z P00Man 10-04-2003, 02:42 PM shit, thats nuts that was a damn hot z, frekin shame least the drivers ok, though ________ Ferrari Testarossa Specifications (http://www.ferrari-wiki.com/wiki/Ferrari_Testarossa) mental pimp 10-04-2003, 03:15 PM How did it happen? Well 90% of the crashes in that race are due to either cross winds or tire blow, mostly cross winds. They run flat out on the desert roads in an area of random strong gusts of wind, which pushes alot of cars off the road when they are cruising at 200+ mph. i got all of this at the car and driver forum cueball 10-04-2003, 03:45 PM Any info on what was done to the car? Looks like a really nice setup.

Perhaps a few of the unbreakable bits can be re-used. Squidward 10-06-2003, 06:07 AM that was one impressive crash.. to walk away from that is incredible... looked like the car rolled a few times before it was stopped by that pole.

Its not a miracle, its a f'in huge rollcage, and multipoint harness. Thumbs up to whoever put that in, good test of what they built :) mikeb 10-06-2003, 06:56 PM hes got a point there WTF no turbo 10-07-2003, 09:50 PM Holy hell sad to see lota wrench turning there lefuton 10-07-2003, 09:53 PM Originally posted by wakeech ...what a shame. beautiful, beautiful car. dang. looking at that aero kit (beastly but utile) i don't think there's any way that car's gonna "lift" at any speed. it's either driver error, or an irregularity in the road (meaning he hit it, and it's his fault ;)) that threw the car off the road into that ironically well placed pole... weird. oh wait, is that pole part of that ex-car?? well pictures don't seem to be loading for me, but my first thought when he said "lift" was throttle lift oversteer... stockae92 10-07-2003, 10:44 PM good roll cage :) |
