Hi all,
picking up from what Mark posted on the chat, what are the views on the Carrera GT and Paul Walker's Death?
http://jalopnik.com/porsche-is-being...ath-1575430490
As stupid as it seems to blame Porsche for the unfortunate death of these two people who obviously pushed the car to hard for the road they where on, is it an unsafe design with the tank in front of the passenger/driver?
There is also mention of a memo from Porsche North America that states the car can sustain serious damage by just driving over a full beer can on its side (the beer can, that is) and that law enforcement agencies have not concluded the reason for the accident but they are definitely looking at the role of Botts’ Dots?
I can't recall anyone complaining about the beetle having the tank in the front as being an unsafe design?
Couldn't the same happen with a gas tank behind the seats when the light pole is hit at the right angel and the "wrong" speed and cut the car in half?
Here are some 'expert' interviews I found:

There is evidence of people walking away from serious crashes and AFAIK all international crash tests and laws have been passed?
