Damn what a waste of a good Great car!

He overshot the turn. Probably had the PASM (Porsche Active Stability Management) turned off as well. Looks like he was sideways and the rear end had kicked out on him. Probably lifted off the throttle and hit the brakes and that was all she wrote. That will bite you in the rear if you don’t know how to drive a rear engine car.

Not sure, but I think he was just on "Minute to Win It", or a recorded show of it.

He could do nothing, his partner had to do all the tricks and they split the prize money for each others charity.

Dunn's charity was for the Garth Brooks "whatever", the partner was for "Downs Syndrom",

Headline should read, “America shocked as Jackass wins Darwin Award”

I'll stick with my F150 4x4. Not as sporty as the Porsche, but I doubt it would end up the lacy, shredded skeleton that you see in that picture.

Yep, trailing throttle oversteer was my first guess.

Sort of like knowing that a “low polar moment of inertia” is the reason your 914 is spinning like a top. Small comfort. ;)

Does anyone know if Dunn trusted in Jesus Christ?

Almost imminently after the news of his death, rumours spread throughout the internet that Dunn had faked his death. With the help of Bam Margera's mother, Dunn allegedly created a hoax to fool thousands of fans. --Wikipedia

“Preliminary investigation revealed that speed may have been a contributing factor to the accident,” police said in a prepared statement.

You think DiNozzo?

Smart money is on alcohol too, but maybe I am just inferring from the picture.

Good Lord - he looks 100 years old and he was only 34.

RIP.

The turn he missed was an off ramp from 322 west to 100 north. I googled his home address with very little effort, and if that listing is correct he may have been heading there since it's off Rt. 100 a few miles to the north.

Wherever he was going, if he was coming from Barnaby's he took a circuitous route. Barnaby's is right on Rt. 100 in the center of West Chester. It makes sense though, if you street view your way along Market Street going east and take the ramp onto 322 west. With his Porsche, this would have been a fun drive at 2:30 in the morning.

He must have really been flying to crash like this. I would say 100+ for sure. He'd probably done it many times, but not quite as drunk, and not quite as fast. It's a terrible thing to die like that, for him and his friend, but it really was the ultimate Jackass stunt. I salute you brother.
