While fast, M5's don't fly well

That one flew pretty good; considering it didn't have wings...

I really don't feel so bad for the driver as much as the other people that he killed. What a mess.

I don't feel bad for the driver but the rest of the kids' families, that is a terrible tragetidy. That kid should have never been driving that car, commonsense on the parent's part. The kid wasn't too smart driving on an airport runway like he was on the Bonneville salt flats. He was a Darwin recipient, too bad he had to share it with some innocent people.

Call me picky but I consider landing qualities a vital part of a vehicle's flight charactoristics.

Here is the thread on that site. It really put me in my place. I really don't want to turbo charge my 4.0 anymore. That much (available) power is asking for trouble on a lifted B2 with only the front sway bar. MAN ALIVE! I hope those families are doin ok. There is a picture of the driver on there and all I can say is, just by the way he smiles you can tell he is very immature and has no respect for a 500HP sports car. All i can say is wow

 

[ns_red7]

Wow, 200ft off the end of the strip, and still 15 feet in the air? That sucker was moving.

Stupid kids

Where the hell dose a kid get 80 grand for a car like that?
Daddy give it to him for graduation?

When I was working on M5's four years ago they were the fastest production cars on the planet.

 

[chico4554]

damn. Had a similar accident happen in my town. Kid everyone knew with 2 other kids in the car that everyone knew. Launched off a guardrail in a F-250. one girl lived amazingly.

Drive carefully and this shit will stop happening. Take it to a track!!!!
