judging from the wreckage it was a v6. But you can bet when the alarmists start crowing, it will be against those "overpowered v8 sportscars," not the irresponsible, under educated kids. Not too many years ago, the state of GA decided that from their statistics that too many 16 yr olds were dying in crashes. Their response? More training for a license? requirement of real defensive driving classes? no, they raised the driving age to 17. WTF??!! yeah, I guess that keeps 16 yr olds from dying as much, but are our roads really safer? The only thing that breeds good driving is instruction and experience. I was lucky enough to get that from my father (imagine putting a 15yr old in a 74 ford p/u in a wet parking lot and saying "okay, get it sideways." !!) I guess it's much easier for the state to dodge responsibility for those skills than to teach them.
Okay, stepping down off the soapbox. Heck, ya can't teach responsibility, only skills.
