Why Paul? Because a non-Porsche blew up? Should we all dance a jig? I've seen plenty of Porsches blow up on the track as well. Nothing is completely bullet proof. That looks like my home track. Now I understand why sometimes there's bizarre skids in the middle of the main straight.

Everything breaks @ the track, Porsches just break a lot less than everything else. That's what makes them great, not 0-60 times or "most car for the $$" awards.

Oh man! That's awful. Too bad for the Corvette owner and good driving by the following driver to avoid that mess. What was he in, btw? I don't recognize the dash. Mustang?

I think Paul is being a little sarcastic. Due to the fact that alot of the guys on here are always trashing Vettes.
Am I right?

I guess i am weird, never wanted a Vette....How ever they probably do not want a P car either.......I hope that nether camp is is sitting around ready to gloat over some one elves adversity.
As I understand it they are a car to be "reckoned " with any more.

Very memorable experience- Just entering main straight at Pacific Raceways, and I notice a puff of smoke in the cabin. "That's strange" I thought...... Then I looked in my rear-view mirror, and saw nothing but a fog bank. "That's strange, it's a clear day"....
At 100+ mph, I simply killed the ignition, and coasted to the nearest flagging station, as they have fire extinguishers, and exited the car quickly. Nice thing about racing a 944. Turned out not to be too catastrophic. Missed qualifying, but was able to make the race by starting at the back of the grid. I feel bad for anybody who drives his street car for a fun day at the track and ends up needing a ride home on a flatbed. |
