^ There's already a messy trail for Porsche in the Courts. The previous suit by the family of the Rennlister who died at the oval track produced conflicting testimony by Porsche's own engineers of why the car was not designed with stabilitiy management (along with some of the GT 911's). The answers were not good ones, something along the lines of commercial need over safety. That's basically like opening up the check book from the witness stand. A better question would have been why the engines weren't tweaked towards more 'street-oriented' mapping making it a bit more manageable at low end. Too much cowbell for the average set of wrists..
p.s.
I went digging through some of the Rennlist threads to see if a previous owner of the car had chimed in and sure enough Graham Rahal was posting on it, it seems he's pretty upset about it all. I guess it makes you think that easily could of have been me.
