What does that have to do with anything? Two cars are going one way at identical speeds. From the video, they both hit the brakes at the same time. One stops, the other ones flies into a tree. What does that have to do with the Enzo?
They were both stupid for racing without much room left, but the Mustang should be able to stop better than that. It looks like it went twice the distance of what the IS needed to stop.

Side Note: I'm sick of hearing of people blaming the car when 100% of the time the driver is the one pushing the accelerator pedal.

They're about the same in braking distance.
The driver doesn't look like he did anything right.

You're right, but I figured he pressed them pretty good by the sound of screeching tired. So yeah, maybe it was the driver...

I was at the Infiniti dealership with my dad when he was getting his Q45 and the sales person was telling us about the cruise control infared sensor thing, slows the car when the car in front of you gets within a certain range. Apparently one woman thought that the speed sensor took over the driving/braking and when she was approaching traffic left the slowing up to the car....
