#4. Ferrari Enzo - 160 MPH
41 year old driver was killed after losing control of his Enzo at 160 MPH. The impact was so great that it tore the car into several pieces. Locals reported having seen and heard an Enzo being driven very hard the day before. Most likely it was the same car. Accident happened on October 30th, 2005.

#1. Ferrari Enzo - 196 MPH
This is the world's highest known crash speed on open roads. There are only a handful of cars even capable of reaching these speeds. The driver was drunk and pushing the limits of this $1.3 million car on the Pacific Coast Highway when he lost control and crashed into a utility pole. Miracolously, he walked away from the accident.

Thinning out the gene pool.

Stupid is as stupid does.

Hope it was fun for them in their short lives.

:beerbang:

I don't care one bit about the people involved in these crashes. I care about amazing the cars these idiots were driving.

Especially the Enzo's.

Well, I don't care much about what happened to them either.

But I do care about what would have happened if one of these assholes hit an innocent pedestrian or other motorist.
 
I had a couple friends that went high school with me think it would be a good idea to race each other on the freeway, one drove a Porsche and the other a Corvette. Everyone told them they shouldnt do that and that they where taking a serious risk unfortinitly they didnt listen and did it at 2am in the morning one night, when the Corvette slid off the freeway into a city road next to it and drove head on into a telphone poll. The driver and his girlfriend where killed instantly i went down that freeway the next day and the country road along side was shut down and the car looked like one of those pictures up there.
