Drag race gone wrong. The Skyline supposedly blew a tire and crashed into Lamborghini before ploughing into the tree.

What\'s with this weird obsession you have with totaled cars?  Is this some kind of inside joke you have with Luckee?  Why not post pictures of perfect cars?  I think we\'d enjoy that more.  Just a suggestion.

Dude, were talking $500 000.00 cars here bro. Its a damn shame about these cars, their owners are total jackasses.

Hope they have insurance.

Yeah, I hope they have insurance.  Of course, no insurance company in the world will pay you if you total your car while doing 150 in a drag race, but who knows, maybe that ferrari just got unlucky.  ;)

In that first pic, I\'m pretty sure that\'s a Corvette, not a Skyline.  BTW, I don\'t think any of these three cars come close to $500,000.00 in value.

1) Maybe they DO cost 500k in Australia.  :)
2) Maybe they have mods that make em 500k.  :D
3) Mabe Racer was wrong.  :laughing:

Where is the skyline?

The first is a corvette and what I think is a lamborghini.

The second is a ferrari.

And there isn\'t even 500,000 total here.  Maybe a couple hundred tops.

I don\'t think Corvettes have rear spoilers. But I don\'t think it\'s a Skyline either, but I could be wrong.

Dont be stupid. A Lamborghini Diablo is $275 000 US for a BASE model, according to Supercars.net.

Yes, I was talking $AUS.

Geez, why does everyone seem to pull me up on all the little details??? I mean, who cares???

Who were you trying to fool anyway?

Ehh, it doesn\'t matter, those are some messed up vehicles.

(Wouldn\'t wanna be the one driving them now!!!)

Vid is correct..that is a Vette and not a skyline... the price of those 3 are in the neighborhood of $450k US currency.

As for Racer..im gonna get you fruit booty ;)..I think that ferrari went under something..maybe a semi? :)

Thats what I was thinking, or it was rolled.

But its a convertible, so it would be pretty ugly...

That Corvette and the Lamborghini Diablo crash was on the news a while ago. I think they were doing about 150mph down a city street and a Dodge Neon pulled out of a side road causing them to loose control. Too bad soooooo sad. If people would just find a track to unleash their road rage.



Or pick up GT3.... That works for me!
:D

What kind of idiot retard pits his 50k V-8 against a 250K V-12?  Frickin\' stock Vettes aren\'t made to go 150mph, 120 maybe but certainly not 150.

From the sounds of it, when I heard the story on the 5:00pm news, the Corvette had a few mods on it....

Can you say Nitrous!

Oh yeah.... I want to make one thing clear here as well. For those who do not believe that the Vette is fast and could give a European car some trouble, just look up the 2002 Z06 specs and do your own comparison.;)

http://www.auto.com/reviews/ulrich7_20001207.htm

I also remember a test that Lingenfelter did on a "stock" Vette that had the mean mo-fo doing 236mph!

It doesnt even have to be a Zo6 either..and usually Dolbytone, when ppl race, it isnt for top speed, its usually who ever gets to the designated finish first :)
