Jackass in a 997 GT3

[Jaxonalden]

It's a shame that Jackass star Ryan Dunn died while "piloting" his '07 997 GT3. What really bothers me is that he was only going a reported 110mph. By the looks of the car I would have guessed he was going faster. I'm sure the producers of Jackass are kicking themselves for not being able to record the crash.

As drunk as he supposedly was, that 110 probably felt like 200

In Pa. the armco is mounted to steel I beams sunk in the shoulder. If you deform the armco it's like driving through a wood chipper. That's why there was only a floor pan and a the front firewall left.

Wonder what was left of the motor.

The only tragedy is that the rest of the cast wasn't in the back seat.

Saw the crash site today first hand.
It is a Y intersection...
By the look of the skid marks, he made a last minute decision to take the right fork of the road.
The car, on the other hand, decided to take the middle fork.
They were still cleaning up debris at noon.
Looked more like a small plane had crashed into the woods.
Sick, yet sad.

Wow...that's pretty harsh (Were the movies that bad??)

Yea, read about this today.. what a beautiful car! what a waste...

Hell of a way to go though. Buckle up fellas!

Wow, I can't believe some of those remarks. The bar owner said he's not a big drinker so who knows if he was drunk or not. He shouldn't have been driving like that if he'd been drinking, but who really knows what happened. At the end of the day 2 people died.

I think some of the members here need to sell their car and go buy something more suitable for their old grandpa cruising ways and quit acting like driving a PORSCHE hard or fast is crazy. Is it wreckless sure, but to each his own.

I managed to hit 149 in my car Sunday and had I wrecked and died I would have gone out with the biggest grin on my face. Wouldn't have liked it any other way
