umm, the engine ended up 200 meters down the road.
I wonder how fast these guys where going when the 911 crashed with the Mustang.

Awhile back there was a video of some Cup Race where a 911 literally lost its motor after getting hit in the rear quarter by another car. The engine didn't slide another 200 meters down the road, though.

That's interesting. Haha, I could imagine our cars, basically the engine held in by four bolts, doing that, but a new one...

The Porsche had to be moving at the legal limit when the Mustang crashed into him.

Haha, I don't even need to hear the details; it was the Mustangs fault.

I had a friend who drove truck a few years back. A guy in a Mustang hit him while speeding. I guess he was trying to light a cigarette and dropped the lighter. Bent down under the dash to retrieve it at over 100 MPH.

Mustang
Looks to have been a Shelby GT! They are capable of some serious speed! Hope it wasn't one of the new 350GT cars!

Shelby GT500 vs 911 turbo, I have a feeling neither were going the legal limit.

Both cars lost their engines according to the article.
Poetic justice?
