This kind of news actually scares me. That is why I do feel like it is important for people to check out rollover testing data so as to see just how safe a vehicle could get.

I agree with #10, you have to do something intentional to make them roll whether is bad driving or evading something on the road.

Wow, I’d think you’d really have to run out of talent at a bad time to roll a TR. I almost stepped on one crossing the street in Chicago it was so low.

If he was a cop, shouldn’t he have known better? He was breaking the law. Too bad about the accident (although it could have happened in ANY car), but all cars can crash at high speeds if not driven carefully.

Hey Adam, I may care more than you do. My comment is about the incident, not the victims.

I think the families of the victims may care. Them having Ferrari’s doesn’t make their lives any more valuable, no, but I think “who cares” isn’t exactly the thing to go on here.

Who cares? Thousands of people die in other accidents every day and when it comes to Ferrari or Porsche GT everyone talks about it. Yes, good cars can also crash!

Marc,

German cars have (except for the ‘super cars’) a limit of 155 mph because of an agreement with Germany’s green party. Other cars are limited because some people really have no clue how to handle a car to its limits.

What was Crocket thinking? By the way, why do some cars get speed limiters and others don’t?

uh oh. here come the concern/safety trolls in the legislature. time for more laws regulating the import, sale and operation of supercars in california!

(actually, a few that restrained the movie industry-spawn who tend to overdrive these cars would be helpful….. they are a bane to normal california.)

well, did the cop in question ride along to 198mph in a 55mph (at best) zone? Other than the make of the vehicle, I am not seeing too many similarities here. Check out Wrecked Exotics if you want to see lesser “profile” crashes of Ferrari’s.

Sympathies to the family of the fallen officer.
