914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Enzo vs Telephone pole on PCH
Posted by: Crazyhippy Feb 21 2006, 10:51 AM
The accident in Malibu on PCH was a Red Enzo... A friend just drove by it and had to call and tell me. Sorry no pics, he says it's FUBAR though. Debris for 50 yards, telephone pole is inverted...
Someone had a bad morning 
NOTHING left behind the doors.

It should be on the news for anyone in so-cal...
And if you aren't in So-cal, you aren't important enough to get to see it 
Pics will show up i'm sure.

I saw it on the news this AM. Couldn't tell it was an Enzo from the traffic copter shot. It was totaled. They said that the 2 occupants walked away from it too.
Sorry, no pix.

The print text says one person was treated for minor injuries at the scene, the voice over says it may be a fatality accident. Cabin area looks pretty intact, the rest ain't. The Cap'n

The text says it was "badly damaged".
Picture shows it without an engine and the back half is gone. I quess that is badly damaged 
Posted by: smg914 Feb 21 2006, 11:41 AM
I only looks to me like about half a million dollars damage so maybe the insurance company won't total it.

Anyone have a quess who owns it?

That's the double-edged sword of modern engergy-shedding chassis design. By peeling off heavy peices like suspension & drivetrain energy is quickly disipated and you walk away with your life intact. On the other hand you get to watch layers of your car being sheared off in $100,000 chunks.

Seems to me the Enzo has a low polar moment of inertia like another car I know. I bet when the back end went it happened fast.
Posted by: Cap'n Krusty Feb 21 2006, 12:44 PM
You mean this is a classic example of "losing the rear end"? I suppose rear end traction is REALLY bad when you don't HAVE a rear end ............. The Cap'n

Wow... that wheel rolling down the road probably cost more than my 914...
Engine looks intact, transaxle looks like it disintegrated.
I'm guessing... 150-ish mph.
Oh, and look at the oil streak in that one picture... that engine slid for a while before stopping.

Posted by: SoCal Driver Feb 21 2006, 06:21 PM
i heard this on the radio this morning on the way into work. I heard that the "driver" fled on foot, but they havent found him yet. The owner of the car was the injured passanger, his story was that he was letting someone else drive (a friend from Germany) and after the accident he ran. from what new reports i've read the owner was bleeding from the mouth and they found blood on the drivers airbag but not the passangers, and to boot the owner (whos claiming to be passanger) blew a 0.09 BA. CA law finds anyone over a .08 a DUI. But if i remember correctly if you are involved in an accident and you blow any alcohol they automatically give you a DUI.....
Posted by: grantsfo Feb 21 2006, 06:23 PM
So do you think they were really doing anything close to 200 MPH?
Posted by: SoCal Driver Feb 21 2006, 06:24 PM
one of the reports the CHP stated that they were in excess of 120 mph.....racing a high end Mercedes Benz..... after the accident the Mercedes left. It supposidly all started at a party last night in Beverly Hills.

If the Benz Bozo left the scene, the LASD and the CHP will make a serious effort to find and bust him, too. Even if he wasn't involved in the accident, the case could be made that he was engaged in a speed contest, and was part of the problem. They're REALLY big on leaving the scene in cases like this. Gonna get interesting! The Cap'n

Oh boo-freakin'-hoo. Too bad for him. Maybe he learned a lesson (and I betcha the guy they found in the passenger seat is the driver). Good thing they didn't take out anyone else. Most of the time you pick up those guys with a scoop shovel.

Anyone else notice that the road is straight? How do you "lose the rear" going straight if your not a DA-MF-RSOB

I bet that engine would fit in 914. It would be happy too - sitting on jackstands nice and safe.

Well, if you look at all the pictures you'll see there's quite a hill followed by a big dip in the highway right where all the trouble started. I'm sure that exciting things happen when you crest that hill at 150+ mph. Things like this:

Unfortunately, that's mostly bacterial DNA but, my guess is even the bugs were scared on that one. They must have had one wild ride when he filled his pants. I wonder if the speed at which a person looses control of his car relates to speed at which a person voids his bowels. Any volunteers to be study subjects?

This is the medical term for "shits-his-pants"
Speaking of same- my brother is a cop and they had a silent alarm that I bank was being robbed. They were able to get there before the guy left the bank so they set up just outside the doors and waited for him to leave. When he walked out, five cops jumped out with 12 ga's pointing at him. He shit in his pants right then.
No one wanted to put him in thier car so them cuffed him and stripped him down and had the fire dept hose him off.

This is really interesting - the muffler has a valve and actuator on the second out-pipe - is that to maintain constant backpressure accross a range of flow rates or something? Or just to make noise when you floor it?

Yup, the valve opens at high rpms and closes down low to regain some low-end torque.
There is a similar arrangement on the intake track as well. Many newer cars do the same on the intake side.
