Re: RIP Paul Walker aka Brian O'Connor
CGX car nut:
Fritz: That's great in theory but reality seldom matches theory and cars are sometimes damaged before delivery by overzealous handlers. The most important takeaway is that this memorandum is absolutely meaningless in any substantive analysis of the Walker incident; the CGT is safe when driven at normal road speeds for the conditions present. As everyone else has posted, the CGT may be more of a handful at the ultimate limit, a limit that should never be reached on public roads.
......... and most certainly not on a road restricted to 45 mph. I agree with you. Whatever caused this accident, it was most certainly not anything which was inherent in the car's design which could come back to bite a driver's ass 8 or 9 years after it was built, if it were being driven in anything like the manner it should be in that situation.
I really didn't want to comment on the accident itself. I'm sure there is more than enough tasteless garbage being tipped into the www anyway.
