Tell that to the owner of the mangled GT3. It was his buddy's car. Guess he owes his buddy a new GT3!

Yeah, ouch is correct. That's awful. I can't believe he hit that blue Subaru wagon :(

'missed the pedal'?? Sounds like one of those 'Farmer's Market' incidents! Was the driver over 70??

From what I understand, his usual ride was a Vette with an automatic, and routinely used left-foot braking. Went to do that in the GT3 at the end of the course and got the clutch instead of the brake... :shock: :cry:

Just drove a 997 today at the autox. How the F do you get into an accident in one of those cars? They are so easy to drive, even at the low speed. They are everything you can ask for as a driver. Massive rear grip, crazy power and great handling, forget the left foot braking BS. Just drive it and you will do fine even driving as a grandma.
