I hope the cops didn't get any orange spray on those wheels ... those and the engine can be salvaged for a quarter the price of another GT.

one less ford on the street :D jk
seriously, how did this happen? no skid marks? he just fell asleep and hit the pole? what's going on?
btw, the engine of this car is in the back, so it should be fixable ?

That GT looks like it could be fixed, but I thought the doors open up gullwing style on the GT unless the door is broken :uh:

Oddly enough the people on that forum had the same thought as me, albeit a different quote.

no they open like regular doors...which makes entry/exit very undignified if someone has parked next to your car (due to the roof cutout)

?
Fall asleep driving a Ford GT? :egads: THAT will be the day.
More likely, he just forgot that mid and rear-engine cars don't understeer like most other cars do and just yanked the wheel too hard and veered into the pole before the stability system ( if the car has it.....I don't remember ) could get him back under control.
Another possibility, less likely, is that he stopped and tried to turn around, accidently popped the clutch out a little too much, too suddenly, with too many RPM's, and that enormous torque just shot him forward instantly into the pole.
Either way, he is lucky not to have ended up in the creek....though he may be UP one. :D

he's really lucky he didnt go off of that bridge and into the creek. At least wait until you're out on the open road or track before testing the vehicle out to see what it can do. :rolleyes:

U know I don't get it threads with accidents. They just are not productive to me. We were not there, a million things could have happened. The guy I am sure already feels like crap about it.
I mean, there are people in 100hp Paseos that get in accidents, 114hp Sentras, Corolloas that lose control as well, we don't post those pics.

Wow, the mullet heads are totally harsh on the driver. They don't even know the story and they're wishing death upon the guy.
I guess they're just mad that their holy grail, which will never reside in their garages, has been purchased and damaged by someone else.
Douches.
