WHAT are some people thinking when they speed, or try it on the street. I for one let loose, yet I know limits of what the **** my car/any car for that sake can, and cannot do.....any right/left, or sharp turns over 55mph is asking for some kind of unwanted outcome. You'd think it's 2008 people seen enough shiet like this to know what happens when you push it on public roads even at night with no traffic. AAAAHHHH this just makes me mad to know these idiots just made it hard for there family cause after this rant who cares...definitely me no longer.

R.I.P

I'd say this is a classic example of "over-driving your headlights".

yeah yeah, the driver was an idiot. but to put more pity and post comments like "poor Z" is just stupid. or making a thread titled like this one is. the car did not "die a fiery death", one human being did and that was the passenger. this thread could be used as a nice wake up call for those that drive over thier limits, to see what the consequences could be (once the stupid comments are removed that is)

Now if only we can get you out of contributing to the gene pool cause the only idiot here is you.

keep stupid *** comments like this to yourself bro, god forbid the day you die someone doesnt speak about you this way, no one knows for sure what happened to those guys and if you have never gone 100MPH in your Z then you should return it and buy a civic. the guy could have just lost control doing what the car was made to do.

There's a distinct difference between 100 mph on an open interstate at night, and a normal road with stoplights. Either they were running from someone, or picked a really stupid place to speed like that.

I support the idiot theory!! If you are gonna drive like a jacka$$, do it smartly at least!! Speed limits are there for a reason. None of us probably ever obey them, but you have to draw a line at some point, when stuff starts to get stupid!!

If so, instant karma.

I wonder if you all will still be cracking jokes about someone being burned alive and another person being splattered on a rock if we all find out it was someone we know from the boards.

It is too bad that they'll never learn another lessons of life. When I was young, I thought I was invincible, driving wrecklessly and unsafely. Around college time, I was told my cousin was badly injured because of speeding, it changed my life for the better- my cuz later became a doctor in a hospital. To this day, I have never been arrested of any kind, nor gotten more than 1 speeding ticket (work-related) in my life. My Z will get its speed for the right reasons. RIP!

This is an excerpt from another news article.

"Police say a gun was found inside the car and it's believed this was a suspect vehicle in a shots fired call over the weekend. Authorities say the car was registered to a Parkland car lot. The victims who have not been named were connected to the lot."

These dudes probably took the car without the lot's permission and causing mayhem all weekend. I don't have any sympathy for them.
