trust me i would be pushing it, but i could see he could not put it inot that corner. if it ws my car i would push it, but not in area with a concrete wall, on a road course with run off then yea. and yes i agree with people doing 40 in ferrari's and porsche's. ran into a 911 turbo the other morning and i was on the guy's ass to move out of the high speed lane because he was doing 65.

Damn! He f*cked it up.
The only way I'd push a supercar is if the course is mapped out with cones, and with all objects are FAR away from the course.

What can I say except...
- Understeer's a bitch
- Don't turn off the traction control. Its there for a reason.
- Don't overdrive the vehicle when you don't know the limits of it
- Whoever designed that course was retarded

And the story gets even better:

IRWINDALE, Calif.- Eddie Griffin crashed a rare Ferrari Enzo worth $1.5 million into a concrete barrier Monday, destroying the car but escaping without injuries.
The comedian was practicing for a charity race to promote his upcoming film, "Redline," when he drove too fast around a curve at the Irwindale Speedway and smashed into a divide. Video footage showed the red sports car screeching before
it ricocheted off the barrier with heavy damage to its front.
"Undercover Brother's good at karate and all the rest of that, but the brother can't drive," Griffin, referring to one his past films, told reporters after the accident.
The film's publicist, Wendy Zocks, said Griffin was "doing OK."
"He walked away completely unscratched, but probably a little shaken," Zocks said.
The Enzo, valued at around $1.5 million, was owned by the film's executive producer, Daniel Sadek, whose exotic car collection was featured in the movie.
Sadek said the car was beyond repair and that he had "mixed feelings" about the wreck.
"I'm glad Eddie came out of the crash OK, but my dream car got destroyed," Sadek said. "I went to my trailer for about 15 minutes and I thought, there's people dying everyday. A lot of worse things are happening in the world."
Only 400 Ferrari Enzos were ever produced, all between 2002 and 2004.
The car was the subject of a high-profile court trial last year after a Swedish businessman totaled a red Enzo.
Griffin's credits include the comedies "Undercover Brother," "Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo" and its sequel, "Date Movie" and "Norbit."

Griffin was hauling ass in someone else's Enzo!

After reading post #26, I just got those "oh shit, hes gonna get it" chills and stomach turns. That sucks, big time. Also explains a lot, I was wondering why the heck someone who can't drive the car was selected by Ferrari to buy one.
