As I said to a friend of mine, how he wasted away $ 1Million + dollars...inexcusable, although, our gov.t does it every day so I am not really surprised when I think about it more.

But with the gov't, it's not their money, it's ours, so it's even worse.

Even a rich dude on a cell phone while driving is just another idiot on thier cell phone.

Found his business website: http://www.performanceautoworld.com/home

He rebuilds wrecked cars as a business anyway. Probably didn't lose too much from that little stunt. Conspiracy theory: it was for marketing! Anyway, hes got an Enzo for sale at $1.3 million. Maybe its the one that Eddie Griffin crashed?

I bet he is going to be receiving a lot of phone calls right now. The news aricles are saying yes that was Enzo crashed by Eddie Griffin.

Haha, really? Thats quite awesome. I wonder how much he bought it for and how much he put into fixing it.

It was funny to see pretty much all the media reporting on it as the world's fastest...
It's not-

I think a lot of people believe the Veyron is still faster because its got all that unnecessary weight with the driver luxuries it has. Add to that SSC was and still is relatively unknown. Not a whole lot is known about the car and it hasn't been analyzed and inspected down to every nut and bolt like the Veyron has.

But that doesn't change the fact that they're wrong. I'm actually surprised SSC hasn't done more to promote themselves, especially in North America, considering they're American!

As much as those cars cost, didn't it have a "hands free" bluetooth for cell phone?

1.6 million car. destroyed amazing what people can screw up.

I read an actricle on this car awhile back. About on the service they split the car in half to work on it or something.

they video of it doing 253 mph or 407khm is just outright insane. now i have had my Audi a6 to 145 and that is outright fast. and had room to go more. not a 3.2 model 4.2 v8. To go 253 mph is just insane.

and than you get a rich guy driving the fastest production car into a bay of salt water. What a jerk and a bad excuse of doing so. A pelican come on.
