Porsche not guilty. Drivers right foot responsible. Justice.
................Her attorney, Mark Geragos, says the ruling will be appealed.................
Two & Three say it all...not built with manners....Rear Engine Porsche' s major handful past limits of adhesion...tightrope keeping balance of oversteer & power...throttle movement reqyoring lots of finesse, and dont ever abruptly pull out of power under hard cornering pressure....straight fendered 911 is a doctor killer. A car thats tired up with major footprint pushes the limits of adhesion up....making the break REAL squirmy.Well,
I have been to that site.
Speculation is they were traveling at a High rate of speed.
-Undeniable
But I'm not so sure they were doing 120 mph.
Easily 80 mph
Another interesting to note:
It is a vintage "Race Only" Porsche Carrera GT.
1. The sports car has a top speed of 208 mph, a very high-revving V10 engine and more than 600 horsepower.
2. Jay Leno has one, he had his driving lessons from Porsche on Fontana's NASCAR track.
Leno said it was a very difficult car to drive.
3. The Carrera GT has no electronic stability control. That means it's unforgiving with mistakes.
4. Roger Rodas was the driver, Paul walker's very good friend, a race car driver and Philanthropist.
NOTE: Allegedly the car had very old ORIGINAL tires.

after looking at the pictures.... i'm thinking she needs to sue speed. Because apparently speed is what killed her father not engineering.
The Good of this...have to try to get something good to walk away with......the Fact that at least That at least Rodas didnt take ANYONE ELSE OUT!!Sadly, it was hid Bud driving, Roger Rodas, 38, not Paul Walker.
And yes, "High' rate of speed.
NOTE: The curve where Walker and Rodas were killed is a popular spot for "drifting" cars.
The coroner's report stated that the 2005 Porsche Carrera GT was traveling at a speed possibly as high as 100 miles per hour (160 km/h) before the crash (Wikipedia)
A few years ago I saw a special on Velocity
Jay Leno at Fontana super speedway
He has one of those Porsches
Porsche factory racer drivers were there showing new owners how to drive that car.
It is NOT a easy car to drive, as a Factory Race car, it was "not for the common person"
So, that along with High Speed and it had the original tires on the car, so that all contributed to the crash.

The hand built Ferrari 250 GTO Lusso Berlinetta Race Car....Enzo Chose the buyers of those...calling the car a disaster in wrong hands.......most cars built for neophytes on the streets are designed to break before chassis limits, some self correcting characteristics, usually inviting understeer before oversteer...purpose built race cars....904, 906, 908, 917 porches, Lola T-70, Ferrari P-3, Ford GT-40(developed from Eric Broadley Lola GT) are all are all nervous cars off the line.....ballet act to drive counterlocked sideways.
Two grown Men..were pushing the envelope in a serious automobile....Walker put Himself in the car....600 HP in a rear weight bias car is Very Serious. Sue crazy blame placing.....Just Dont Leave the House,,,,Dont Live,,,because the Act of LIVING is calculated risk....Paul Walker Loved Cars, He died in one taking a chance....Just the Facts maam. i know something about Widowmakers & Doctor Killers, put 10 K miles on mine.....deTomaso was sued by three Families of Guys that turned these into Their coffins.....He got off all three....

"Goose" Mangusta.....just the name should be a clue to dangerous.....like LSD....scare the **** out of You....but cant wait for more. No Respect for Walker Daughter & snake assed lawyers
It's all about the $$$$, another frivolous lawsuit...
It's truly sad he died, he shouldn't have been doing what he was doing,
even just riding along, but it's not Porsche's fault...
The person driving, way too fast for conditions is at fault...
