I've put 2600 miles on it in 2 months.... but what a scary way to die.

It's always a tragedy when someone dies in a performance car.But like anything there is much about the accident that we don't know.Road conditions,vehicle maintenance,driver skill..
I hit a puddle once in my 911Turbo doing 60mph..the car had Bridgestone S02's.The car hydroplaned totally out of control.I was lucky there wasn't a semi in the other lane.
After making some calls I found out that the S02's are excellent track and warm weather tires but have a history of being a nightmare on wetroads.
If I had been going 245km/h...odds are high I wouldn't be here telling the story.
The Lambo is a fantastic handling car,with a solid history of safety at any speed.Seeing pics like those posted is a good reminder to do a real pre-flight before you run hard.
