The brakes really sucked on cars back then. My parent's station wagon (72 Chevy Kingswood) couldn't even come to a complete stop from a single panic stop from 90 mph. Get your kid something newer if you think they're going to have a lead foot.

 

Man ive read alot of crash storys like this, but this one really is gona make me think twice about doing a top speed run in the future.

 

insane

 

Shoulda had a drag racing chute.

 

Idiot + 500hp = this....What a moron!!!!!! He didn't even respect his parents enough to treat that car- A freaking M5 BTW!!!-his friends, or his own life with respect. So I say "Good Riddance!!" What a waste of a human being!!! I must say he had nads of steel though to be doing stupidity like that.....I would be scared crapless to go ***** out in my pop's Evo or my mom's STi

 

The trunk on that tree was massive.

 

i know some r saying the parents aren't at fault...but just to mention that this kid had 4 moving violations prior to this wreck should have set off an alarm to these parents...if i had kids, they would be driving a kia after 4 violations before the age of 18...i dunno what kinda laws there are there, but i know here he shouldnt have had a license.

 

True too... and I say that because im 20. If someone has the ***** to go 140 in a m5 after breaking into a private run way im sure they all wondered what the magical powers of alcohol were at a young age too... just like me ... but then again if the driver wasn't drinking who cares.

 

4 drunk people egging you on can have a powerful impact, too.

 

there was and 85 foot dropoff at the end of the runway,if i heard the new correctly. I you wanted to go really, really fast somewhere- maybe some recon would be in order? This was a terrible thing to happen, and it could have been prevented so easily. R.I.P.

 

very tragic accident

 

^^ it does suck, the lession that should be taught from this is if you are going to **** around or race you should not do it with others in the car.

2 kids just died down the street from me street racing off a light... went fast around a small bend and slid off the road into a pole.... car split straight down the middle and both are dead. both are 18. People are always going to race, so IMO when you decide to do so (if you do so at all) in public places you should think of others.... not only the people in your car, but people around you.

how could u live with yourself knowing you killed others or your friends/family from being wreckless?

 

It sucks the kid died sucks worse he killed his friends. But I blame all 5 of them and possable the parent's. It isen't always the parents fault that kids turn out like they do. He and the 4 other people in the car made the decision to do what they did. I had a 450 hp camaro as my first car and will admit I drove it hard. But I still realized that I was inexperienced and dident push the limits. All I am saying is they had the choice's and made the wrong one. And this is in no way related to street racing. They were on a runway not a public road ( false sense of security) Maby the kid drove normaly on the public roads who know's. Everyone is quick to blame it on the age but I see plenty of older people that do more harm then good driving to slow.

 

I dont blame the parents at all, your A+ honor-all / star athlete / non-smoker / non-drug user / non-drinker / virgin could of done the same thing.

When I was 18 I owned a 520rwhp cobra that had 499rwtq. I actually only raced it a few times & one of those cars was an m5 of which I beat. So lets just say it was faster than a new m5?

Anyway, I never got a ticket, never got pulled over, and never crashed it .... and I have it because my parents trusted me enough to have it. It's all about the head on your shoulders, it has nothing to do with the parents.

 

Kid + high-powered cars = NO NO
