Doesn't give much details but nothing worse than being responsible for killing your passenger.

I guess he wasn't a very good river huh? If he is a professional he should know the dangers.

[QUOTE=Mazdaspeed atleast it wasnt some teenager killing themselves in a high powered car..[/QUOTE]

for how i see it it is a shame for both a teenage that doesn't know how to drive and a professional racer being idiotic on the road.
I mean, i don't feel sorry for this kind of people at all, especially when the passengers die and they survive.
I'm not sarcastic but here we see a lot of imprudence that leads to disgraces and you start thinking....

Guys thats a Z-06, what gives it away are the rims, the emblems on the brake duct, the extra flare piece behind the rear wheels, the front chin spoiler.

Amazing that a Z-06 cost 150k over there, so a ZR-1 would cost 180k.
