Kevin Hart and driver seriously injured in car wreck

Right, that amount of hp is more dangerous on the low end typically (assuming the frame can handle it and is super reinforced etc. And you've done everything you can - roll cage etc). I envision c&c take offs gone wrong, shifting wrong (1st to 2nd for example and breaking the tires loose) etc etc. And when it happens in a fraction of a second and there's no other safety controls/traction control other than you... You better know what to do. And if you know what you're doing you're probably not driving it like a dumbass on a c&c takeoff gone wrong. Also you're absolutely right, if the frame isn't done correctly I can see things going a lot worse than just kicking the tires loose (frame falling apart/twisting)

On a side note, I eventually want to do a project car but it'll probably be one made within the last 20 years and I'll probably not have a chance to get something like a demon engine any time soon. That's a pretty awesome crate engine though, but I definitely agree with you on not wanting to just drop it in whatever.

 

There's definitely a long list of things that must be upgraded or just plain taken out to have a well balanced restomod. But like people stated before there is no preparing for stupidity or ignorance.

 

What was the last year of naturally aspirated engines in the base models? Or also '14?

 

The 991.1 series. 2012-2016.
Then they downsized it to 3.0L turbocharged on the base models starting with the 991.2 (2017-2018)
Now it's 992 (2019+)

Yes! I had mine for about 18 months now. I am going to try to hang on to it for a while.

"The price of a 911 re-imagined by Singer starts at over $475,000 and can reach $1.8 million."

Mine is all stock...all original parts from '87. Burgundy interior, silver exterior.

 

Exactly, hahah

 

God damn they're just sitting in front of the dude recording him and arguing about it being his fault or not while he's in shock, savage lmao.

Seriously though glad he's alright, looks like the entire car crumbled outside of his bucket seat. Hope everyone else was alright too.

 

These corvettes have wayy too much power for an average joe to handle at the limit.
Add in bumpy roads, traffic, tire pressure/depth etc and you got a recipe for disaster.

I have lost traction a few times in the Porsche but the stability management is so good it saved me from wrecking it.
One time I was driving to Austin at night and I was in a lane that suddenly became a U-turn (I thought the lane went straight also)..i had to brake from 60 mph to almost 20 mph quickly while turning..bad idea on a rear engined car.
Rear tires got out from under me and I almost did a 180 before I regained control. Luckily no one was behind me. Turns out my tires were at 4/32nd also.

 

That looks like somebody dropped a Vette from a plane and somebody decided to get in and sit down afterwards. As scary as it is at the beginning the other side of the car towards the end of the video actually looks like Godzilla went after it. Wow.

 

This just happened a couple of days ago.

Spoiler: Aftermath

 

This one time, in 1990, I let my friend drive my 5.0 Mustang around the block. On the final corner, he tried to fishtail (like I had done earlier) completely lost control, ran it into a tree and then a house, and then the brick facade fell on top of the car (it was a convertible)

He then told me he had no insurance and ran away. I found out later that while we were arguing, the house we hit's owner thought we were kickburglars and had a shotgun pointed at us...

Good times.

 

Good to go.
