Eddie Griffin Destroys Enzo

This calls to mind my favorite lines from the movie "The Rock":

San Francisco Hippy - Dude. You just fucked up your Ferrari.
Nicholas Cage - It's not mine.



An understeering car goes through the fence nose-first; an oversteering car goes through the fence tail-first; a neutral steering car goes through the fence sideways.

I love how auto junkies are saying "oh that was total understeer in a tight corner". No shit it was understeer...it was NO steer! Did he even see the turn?

Who autocrosses a $1.5 million Ferrari with barricades less than 10 meters from the cones? Who lets Eddie Griffin autocross their Ferrari? Piece of advice: someone hands you the keys to a car that hot, it better be for driving in a straight line on a runway...or just hand 'em back.

I always wondered how effective those concrete barriers might be. Now I see they are pretty damn effective.

That's a really good observation. I'd never really thought about how well those things stop cars. That car is light as a feather, though. They call them "carbon fiber coffins" because they are so fast and offer very little protection.

I'd like to see a Hummer go up against one of those things. Actually, what I really want to see is a truck use one of the runaway truck ramps they have in the mountains. Sweet.
