petener999 · 03-11-2009, 07:19 PM

Too much money than brain..

marty_mcfly · 03-11-2009, 07:23 PM

yeah come on guys lets all make asshole comments like we obey the speed limit at all times

we all make mistakes and fuck up once in awhile in our lives, whether its driving or fucking a girl whos been with 50 guys with no rubber, but its sad this certain person's life had to end.

R.I.P.

and it was a challenge stradale

TiAg335i · 03-11-2009, 07:25 PM

Wow. For the car to end up in TWO pieces must have involved RIDICULOUS speeds. Looks to be well over 150 MPH. RIP.

Zirenz2006 · 03-11-2009, 07:30 PM

Wow, he must have been going obscenely fast. That car is shredded into pieces.

M_Six · 03-11-2009, 07:50 PM

Ouch. No surviving that. Live fast, die young, and leave a good looking corpse. Well, two out of three ain't bad.

Kensta335 · 03-11-2009, 07:59 PM

Read somewhere that he was racing a Porsche. The driver of the Porshce has been arrested.

Not necessarily. The car is designed to break apart in sections if it's hits/gets hit a certain way. You don't necessarily have to be going extremely fast for it to happen, but obviously the case is usually speed.

Man that sucks, split right in 2. I would have salvaged stuff off it, the rims still look good.

public roads, extremely excessive speed... awesome. I feel bad for the family, dude got what was coming to him though... don't matter what ur driving, take that shit to the racetrack if u want to drive like that.

wtf is wrong with you "he had it coming". have some sympathy. like youve never broken the speed limit before. my god dude

TK-421 · 03-11-2009, 08:29 PM

That's a Challenge Stradale, not a 599. Well if you're going to die in a car accident, it might as well be the best Ferrari since the F40

Quote:

The Web site also reported that Lewis' car appeared to be a Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano, which can reach a top speed of 205 mph and carries a price tag around $300,000.

Seriously though, RIP. I love MMA and this really is sad

wow what an epic crash

A woman in the Ferrari was ejected from the vehicle and was in stable condition at a local hospital. Police haven't determined if she was the driver or passenger of the Ferrari, according to the Times.

Whoa. Eight lives left.

it's not supposed to break like it did. The telephone pole sheered right through the cabin. The back of the car, right behind the firewall, is supposed to break off in an intense crash. There is no way for that to happen when you hit a telephone pole anywhere in front of the firewall.

I highly doubt the car is going to break in two under just moderate speeds. Think of the lawsuits if you were driving like 65, hit a pole, and the car breaks in two, a crash you would have otherwise survived if the car didn't break in two.
