Ryan Dunn was drunk driving at like 0.2 BAC. I definitely wouldn't single out any of these companies for defects. Porsche just makes fast cars that people enjoy driving recklessly.

The car was apparently a brand new acquisition for his "race team" AE.
This is essentially the same car that Leno crashed on the track at 200+ MPH and lived...
One of these wrecked a block from my work. Basically these cars aren't easy to drive unless you've spent some time behind the wheel, and a high HP car like this one isn't really good at going slow IMO. No matter how many hours of driving a person has, if you don't know what the CAR will and WON'T do; it can very easily go wrong quickly when you're going too fast. That is not the car's fault or the manufacturer's fault. What they were doing shouldn't have been done on the street and it is very sad. Kind of doesn't matter how or why it happened now because both of them lost their lives.
I didn't even like the F&F movies really, but he was in a lot of stuff; just best known for those movies. I thought he was pretty decent in Flags of Our Fathers.
RIP Roger and RIP Paul.

PORSCHE NOT SHUTTING FUEL LINES during impact = a rip off for your money.
Former world rally champion and Porsche test driver Walter Rohrl told Drive the new Porsche supercar is "the first car in my life that I drive and I feel scared".
Earlier this year, Rohrl said, the engineering team was about to cancel a day's testing at the famous Nurburgring circuit because of wet weather. But, Rohrl said, when he insisted the car had to be tested in slippery conditions, he discovered the car's daunting performance.
"I came back into the pits and I was white," Rohrl said. "I immediately said to the engineers that we need one button for the wet and one button for the dry", referring to the need for a traction control switch.
