Its sad that this whole web continues. There are thousands of lives lost, killed in cars of all types, where the major cause of the accident seems to be the fault of the person holding the wheel, vs the car. 2 passionate "car guys" lost their lives, in a horrible tragedy. RIP

Which is why an 'analog' performance car will never be built again. Enjoy the GT you have, they will be a rare commodity going forward.

High speed near fixed objects is always bad.

Tragedy for sure. Sadly, I am certain that this will not yield the peace or answers she is looking for. Hope she one day finds it.

Very sad and tragic and feel for the daughter but frivolous lawsuit in my opinion

Blaming Porsche for the loss of life here is like blaming a construction company for the death of someone who climbs over a railing and jumps from a bridge it built.

Straight up? As Andy opined, the blame lies with the driver. 'Twas he who was 'on site', assessed road conditions, and 'gave the car its commands', so to speak...not Porsche.

No car company has the tech to build a car capable of preventing the death(s) of its passenger(s) in any and all collision scenarios. Odds are none ever will...

I hope she pisses a lot of cash away...someone needs to learn.

There was no injustice here; driver erred and both died; it's that simple.

The CGT is the Viper of the Porsche world; it's nasty and it's dangerous.

It's well known, and if you're going to be stupid about the way you drive it, you may very well pay with your life.

The End

As I understand it, the young lady is 16, wouldn't have a clue normally at that age about law suits. "advisors" are spending her dollars.

"The CGT is the Viper of of the Porsche world; it's nasty and dangerous ". Hmm

Both are nasty, but not dangerous. Quirky maybe, but dangerous?? Driven both. Didn't see it.

Maybe this will give her closure.
Not that I agree with it.

My 740 rwHP FGT makes my CGT seem sluggish, and I dont find it scary

There's a far greater chance it won't once she loses in court...and she will.

But, I understand your point.
