Thanks Kevin, I didn't even read it. I just read the first post and skimmed the rest. I was probably in shock from seeing the photos.

As much as I hate to see a good car get wrecked ....it is good to know that most people are getting out alive .It says a lot for the design of the car.

A good reminder that these are fast cars and things can easly turn bad very quickly. One bad decision and crunch...

I am glad no one was seriously hurt. The angles must have been working over time....

Excellent point - don't let your horses get ahead of your brain (or your common sense) when driving these cars.

Its a shame that a car with my exact specifications got wrecked.

These guys should be thanking their lucky starts they got out with their lives.

Ugly wreck, too bad it happened and I am glad everyone walked away. IMO this was caused by messing around in a crowd. I dont buy the not horsing around bit in the thread, not for a second. Two people trying to pass at the same time is racing whether they were doing 45 or whatever - they were still contesting for the pass..

With so many 05s being wiped out I can just see it; by next year our insurance rates are going through the roof..... :bang:

These two are very lucky!

Not wearing your seat belt for ANY reason is just plain silly. I firmly believe that the seat belt I was wearing while in my friends Volkswagen Rabbit years ago saved my life. We were speeding and hit a curb, flipped upside down and proceeded to slide some two hundred feet on the roof of the car. We we're all wearing our belts and it's a good thing.

Wear your seat belt! It just doesn't make any sense not too. It may save your life or it may just keep you from having all your teeth knocked out and being maimed for life.

That is too bad. However, I don't want to judge because I don't know the guys but still looks like someone was an inexperienced driver. Either the guy behind the slow car didn't look in his mirrors or the guy in the second car behind the slow one was not paying attention. To say they went at the sametime makes no sense unless the guy in the last position was right on the other guys bumper and then floored it to pass. Still, inexperience will get you every time.

And it is just going to get worse. As I said once before, the GT is more power than most people know how to handle. I am glad FORD made a 300hp car that is affordable but unfortunately a lot of people are going to pay a higher price in the end, perhaps with their lives.

I am puzzled.

It's hard for me to comprehend how slightly bumping another vehicle at 45mph can lead to losing control and causing so much damage.
