The question here, obviously, is - who is responsible for the accident? Some can claim that Porsche should not make its car to speed up that much. Porsche 911 GT3, the car he drove during his fatal crash on Monday, was capable of hitting speeds around 190 miles per hour. Porsche is known to be the car James Dean loved, and eventually drove to death - Dean was driving Porsche 550 Spyder when the fatal accident occurred, killing the American film hero on September 30, 1955.

I could do this in my car . . .

Or the first Shelby Cobras. Two were made, one still exists as the other one disintegrated around a telephone pole when the proud financially capable owner took it to the limit.

The driver, stupid. Only a pedestrian New Yorker would ask that question. My, how IBD is slipping.

[calex59]

Yet another attempt by liberals to blame an object for the stupidity of certain humans with the purpose of controlling all humans.

[clintonh8r]

Totally drunk. 140 mph. “Yeah...musta been the carsh fault, ossifer......”

[newzjunkey]

Driver’s fault.

[mriguy67]

or you could be in a smart car at 30mph and get killed too

[occamrzr06]

Reporters fault!...ok, the drunk driver had a bit.

The reporter is an idiot.

Why just Porsche? How about GM (Corvettes), Chrysler (Vipers), Aston Martins, Ferraris, etc? ALL are capable of speeds well in excess of the 140mph Dunn was driving.

Libs won't be satisfied until we're all using public transportation exclusively.

Ugh, can people have any more of a nanny state mindset?

[faucetman]

It was the Jackass’ fault.

[El Cid]

My, how IBD is slipping.

This is the IBT (New York, no less), and not the IBD.
You're right, the IBD is sane - except when they invite the Leftist freak columnists to provide an occasional guest Editorial.

[freekitty]

If he was drunk; no.

[Billthedrill]

Drunk will kill you. Stupid will kill you. In a fast car they’ll kill you faster.

[OldNewYork]

Rest in peace.

But it’s not the car. It’s legal to drive at that speed on the Autobahn, last time I checked.

[BraveMan]

Yeah, I could do that . . .

[BraveMan]

I’d hit that . . .

He was Drunk. Not only can his family not sue Porsche, he does not collect and damn near any insurance he ever had. My Hondas go really, really fast. If I am intoxicated I lose all insurance for the most part.
