Glad everyone is ok. That's most important.

How fast were you going and what was the temperature? I am starting to really doubt the stock GT PP tires in anything other than warm dry weather.

Sorry to see this man. I got into an accident about a week ago myself. These cars are built freaking tough, so it shouldn't be totaled. I got T-boned by an old man and no serious damage was done. Hope you get it back soon.

I put all seasons on my GT PP and the difference is night-and-day. It now takes effort to kicks the rear end around on a corner. Before it happened if I gave the throttle any input.

Glad you are ok to post about this. That is the most important thing. Material things can be replaced, not you brother.

It should buff out though.

Sorry to see this. Very sad for such a new one. I'm starting to wonder if its a good idea to send all these performance pack cars with summer z tires out in the middle of winter. Those tires are not designed to be used in this season.

Very glad you are ok. Cars are just things and can be replaced. Can I ask, did you have the car in rain/snow mode and how fast were you going? And again, all that really matters is that no one got hurt!

Glad you're OK. Noticing the two tone roof and hood vents, custom job?

Hydroplaned, but yet no standing water to be seen. And on a bridge?

Glad no one was hurt.

thought the same thing

My thoughts exactly! Wondering if the stock Pirellis on the GT (which are rated as "summer" only tires) have a specific temperature range where their effectiveness degrades and how rapid is the decay? Right now in my neck of the woods, driving it is out of the question on the current rubber (Pirelli guide did not get specific enough or give any information with regards to outside ambient conditions to come to any appreciable temperature or road condition range gate)

Stock Pirellis suck in the cold temps this has been known for awhile now.

Sorry to hear about your loss. I'm glad you're ok.

I agree the car looks totaled. The unibody is bent fairly severely. There's usually a lot more hidden damage that can't easily be seen. I will be interested to know what it would take to fix it.

 

[AGENT4734]

That really sucks. Sorry man. Glad to hear you and your friends are okay. Accidents happen...

 

[TheRican]

Thats totaled.. Airbags deployed, probably front clip issues

How about thanking the incredible engineers that saved your life?
