Hahaha that does suck. I like the ford GT. I just want to know why he didn't go test the power trying to merge on to a highway at night or something where there probably are no poles.

I can't hate. I had an experience just like that when I had 2,200 miles on my car...once you get the car working hard and the adrenaline going, it's just mad hard to stop (and mad hard NOT to drive aggressive) but you learn with time.

Bahahaha. Sorry, I'll hate. Yes, a new car is exciting and you wanna see what it can do. But, if he can afford a Ford GT, he's likely old enough to have known to at least do it on an empty stretch of road. Judging by those pictures, I don't think he's in NYC and surrounded by concrete and hordes of people. There was prolly a nice, empty road a few feet away from that bridge.

Yeah but sports cars keep getting better and better...they just keep going faster and faster and it's not like people's reflexes are growing with the cars. I think we're just at the point where we can build cars better than we can drive.

Tom did you go looking for that photo purposefully after I said in that other post the GT was the only American car I have a passion for? [slap] Breakin my heart with these pics. [;)]

I could not agree more! I have had numerous opportunities to drive some really nice cars, mostly at track events. I felt the urge to push it, but not having the experience in the car I made the wise decision to drive within my capabilities. No offense but saying, "it's just mad hard to stop" is a cop-out and irresponsible.

Not just that...you have to be pretty damn inexperienced to put your car head first into a 4 foot tall POLE.
