The speed of the Ferrari that split in half?

Perhaps OJ can help Stefan Ericksson find Dietrich along with the killer of Nicole Simpson? Wonder twin powers activate!

If the story dont fit then you must acquit.

I guess the question now becomes, How fast does a million dollar car have to friggin go to kill a shady Gizmodo exec who hits a pole on the side of the road?

163? 225? 262?!!

* Inventory where the pieces ended up (like the gun ... or Dietrich?)
* Factor in the "coefficient of friction" of the surface
* Apply some rudimentary physics
* ???
* PROFIT!!!

Seeing as you couldn't give away a Gizmondo, I guess that would be somewhere in the range of negative infinity gizmondos ;)

Glad to see I'm not the only south park fan here. Honestly, the guy's an idiot and should be kept away from ANY car. In fact, get rid of his drivers license too.

Gee can't you guys just let this topic die? I mean, the guy lost his job, and this once sweet ride, and now whenever you run out of news you bring this up? Let it die.

I just can't figure out how this dude survived such a crash.

Every time I think of that crash I imagine it being recreated in the XNA car crash demo Microsoft ran last year without ever really saying what it had to do with XNA. It will be a missed opportunity if a booth at E3 doesn't simulate that crash.

"Gee can't you guys just let this topic die? I mean, the guy lost his job, and this once sweet ride, and now whenever you run out of news you bring this up? Let it die."

You sound like you actually have sympathy for this guy. Your statement paints him as a victim. Nevermind the Ferrari was stolen and he lost his job because he tried to hide his criminal past. He is also wanted in Sweden . This guy deserves every bit of bad press he gets. He earned $3M per years as an exwecutive of Gizmondo and has been involved in all kinds of questionable deals. The Gizmondo had a tough road ahead of it, but with this creep and his friends draining the company it died a lot sooner than it should have.

I think Ferari should take advantage of this and use it to brag about their safety. A guy crashed an Enzo into a pole going 162 miles per hour, and while it tore the car in two, it left him with a cut on his lip.

A cut on his lip, for God's sake!

Wow, there are LUEsers here? Any LUElinkers?

I love conspiracy theories and this has got to be one of the most interesting ones I've heard in a while. Most don't have a Burnout style Carcrash. And I think we all know who the mysterious Dietrich really is: don't think you've gotten away scott free Phil Harrison.

It's actually not that hard of a calculation to do and I'd expect it wouldn't cost all that much money to conduct the investigation.

...First-year and second-year engineering students run these kinds of conservation of energy & conservation of momentum calculations all the time! You know mass, length of skid marks, coefficient of friction, how far parts flew, and get some tabulated data from a vehicle manufacturer (to determine the force required to cause the level of damage on a certain part of a vehicle), and you've got yourself all the variables needed to run the numbers!

Then, just get an engineering student on summer vacation to do the calculation, and boom - finished! That "precise" speed of 162mph probably isn't precise, they probably have a +/- to go along with it, but the margin of error is surprisingly low. That's why they call them LAWS of physics - they don't lie.

Total cost: a couple donuts (for the cops), a few bucks for the poor student's 3 hours of work, a couple phone calls, a couple hours on site to make some measurements...
