Not surprising. Knew the people at our local Porsche dealer fairly well in the 80's, 3 or 4 customers would total their various Porsches in the first week of ownership each year. They had a Lamborghini Countach trade in once, the buyers 18 year son picked it up and put it into a telephone pole 1/2 block from the dealership.

When cars get above 600hp it really takes skill to drive. Things can get out of hand quickly. I think cars like this with huge power are cool, but shouldn't be put in the hands of any joe with a good FICO score.

Accidents happen.

Same with 1000/1100 cc street bikes.

Most track guys will tell you that after 500HP most guys lap times don't actually get any better.

A lot of my buddies prefer 750 gsxr for the track and either the kawi 636 or some 600 for stunting.

I concur the move on the switch down a bit.

As a 48 year old guy that been riding 1000 and 1100's since I was 15 - illegally.Buddies dad loaned me his XS1100 midnight special to commute to the machine shop with - put a helmet and jacket on me nobody could tell.

Ive been lucky, worked hard, been at the right place right time, and been employed by bike riding multi millionaires that sponsored ludicrous rides and gave me bikes as sales awards. Ive personally felt the machines progress over time.

Todays 600 and up shit is just awesome - waaaaay over the heads of novice riders and almost all the "experts".

Depending on the circumstances it may have had nothing to do with 700HP and could have happen in a Prius for all that matters...maybe.:cool

Maybe, but things will happen a hell of a lot faster when you add another 600 hp to that Prius.

Challengers handle like shit either way, these ended up smashed up a lot with the old power offerings...

Wrong car to put 700hp in to begin with...

The biggest risk in a Prius is driving to the wrong part of town, and getting hit on by gay men.

I completely agree. I ran the CCS circut between Firebird raceway and the old Las Vegas speedway on an FZR400 in the early 90's. Lots of seat time on bikes. The new stuff out of the box is not for novice riders. I think the modern day liter bikes are the fastest way to the funeral home.

I ran wsmc in the 90's, BOTT, good times. Glad I lived through it.

Ricky racer isn't as talented as he thought.

In my time as a dealer I witness the same type of incident twice....literally within hours of taking delivery.
