He had four airbags. One on each corner. :lol:

I believe that the vehicle he hit, actually made a u-turn in front of him. But, I've heard multiple versions of the same story.

From all "official accounts", speed, nor alcohol was a factor. How about you stop being a **** head, get off your high horse and just contemplate the fact that 5 fucking people lost their lives because of this accident.

Who are you telling to get off their high horse?
Engine blocks don't fly out of engine bays at legal speeds during traffic collisions.

Police say there's no evidence of racing. That just means they didn't catch who he was racing with. Eye witness says there was another vehicle also going fast down the street with him.

I know that area. 45 mph, lit in some areas, not well lit in others. Lots of side streets and traffic. Its normal to go 60 through there and I have had ricers rev at me in that area at lights. But I don't think I've ever seen anyone go over 60 through there that's just insane, 115

I read a couple times that his spacer was a factor.

Well, you're never really going in a perfectly straight line, although that's the goal. You're usually making minute steering corrections because no car goes perfectly straight and no road is perfect either. Over correct a little bit and it can snowball.
That's how people going seemingly 'straight' suddenly start swerving, losing control etc.

As you go over 60 MPH aerodynamics become more and more important. As speed increases, drag increases by the square. With a compromised suspension (less suspension travel from being lowered too much, less rubber on the road from camber exacerbated by the car going light from aero lift, extra stress on components operating outside of design specs) I can definitely see things going wrong fast at 115MPH, esp. on a public road that's not racetrack smooth and with debris on it. A slammed car has no room for error and can't pass over debris on the road.

What would a spacer do to cause a car going 115 mph to do wrong? They don't just unscrew off while you drive.

Maybe he wasn't racing anyone. It's not like you can't go 115.6mph by yourself. Maybe it was a female passenger he was trying to impress. It doesn't really matter as it is reckless either way and innocent people died and are in the hospital. RIP

Zero travel and any little bump the car will catch air or slam into the ground and lose control easily. Not to mention at slammed heights the geometry of the suspension is so out of wack it would act unpredictable.

"spacer"

I've done this before I went 100 thank God I am alive and never driving a stinking car ever again

The FR-S maintained balance but the speed is still a factor at that angle of a turn as well for a freeway exit.
