I just hit 1200 miles on my car yesterday and opened her up on a stretch of highway. Now I feel guilty or should I say lucky. It makes you think.

I hate reading these types of stories. I only feel sorry for one person and that is the 19 year old passenger. MORON could have at least just taken his own life, but he had to take another.

Wonder if this picture will stop all you street racers out there?

Probably not, one word for this, STUPIDITY

Take the damn thing to the track and quit endangering innocent lives!

He just doesn't get it!

street racing is for inexperienced wanna-be's who have no reguard for their saftey and the saftey of others. I personally know 2 people who died in similar accidents and 2 more who died in motorcycle accidents (in excess of 100mph). take it to the track...

I concur w/Matt. I never street race and will only do it at the track. I've gone 5 times w/my Max so far, will do it w/my Z next year. It's FAR safer and I've never seen any impact during the races.
