Nice to see it all ends well. But WOW

Wow, at first I thought it was an FXX.

Must be nice to say f*ck it I'm buying an FXX :lol:

The guy is right though, he's ok, the car can be fixed and he looks like he can afford to buy the FXX anyways like he said. :D

Kudos to guys like that,beat the crap of the car like some Subaru.Sucks that he crashed, but he'll be back in no time

Never good to see a nice car crash, but great to see them used.

I read a comment from a related video saying they are repairing it to finish the race? So sounds like it may still be running??

A racing "boo-boo"...say what?

I didn't see a car crash. All I saw was a man enjoying his car and washing the dirt off of it. Good for him for using the car for its intended purpose and not some trophy piece in a collection.

Is it just me or does it look like his helmet doesn't fit correctly?

I did not see the crash, but I was close by when it happened.

The car was gong to float away, but they secured it before the current swept it out to sea !

The driver was quite good about it all, joking and smiling afterwards.

Wow I didn't realize an Enzo would float!

What really surprised me about that crash was how quick and simple it was. (I'm going to assume that the millionaire owner of an exotic car dealership and massively modified multi-million dollar cars is a reasonably competent driver, and has certainly spent more time at the wheel then I have if you don't include shifter kart racing).

He just did a little spin out and looped on him, and just his luck he slid off that coastal road from it. He had really recovered from the main looseness already and it was the over correction that got him. Obviously there was sand or something on the surface.

Anyway my point is that even with presumably high tech traction control (as mentioned in teh video) the rear end spun enough to loop the car. Perhaps the TC was never calibrated for the new engine power or there was a slippery layer of sand or something. But I think it may cause us to thing again about how easily these high powered cars can get away from us, TC or not.

Perhaps I'm overly sensitive from turning up my boost a couple lbs last night and lighting them up at 80mph can be a bit unnerving.

I noticed that too! You would think that someone who can afford to drive a car like that could afford to buy a properly fitted helmet.
