And sometimes bad stuff just happens.
For all we know a car pulled out infront of this guy. And the Z's massive brakes caused it to be a minimal collision.

Just goes to show in all cases the Z is to be respected and those Z owners who think they can handle this car really cannot, the Z will bite you in the *** when you become over confident.

Yeah, lets just insult a guy for fun. Get him while he's down! Kick him!
IDK why people are so vicious towards people who have accidents; 'Stupid', 'moron', 'idiot', 'f-tard' etc. give me a break. Its not called an 'on purpose' and you aren't born knowing everything. Bad things happen and that's how we learn. I'm a great driver now because I started out a bad one and learned from my many mistakes. I'm just glad all that learnin' came pre-internet because these days you can't make an error without the whole world passing judgement. Ease up on some of these guys, they got it bad enough with a wadded up $100k car, the insurance companies, civil suit, attorneys and tickets. Last thing they need is a buncha judgemental internet Romans draggging their names through the mud for the sake of their own morbid entertainment.
Also - none of us are infallable. You want some douche to take a picture of your car after your next faux pas and start blasting it all over the internet asking questions? Let the poor bastard have some privacy instead of being a busybody. 'Crashed Z near Seattle, anyone?' I mean, what answer were you hoping for? It was Bob68! "Everyone died"! "He crashed into a school bus"! What horror story of someone else's suffering would make you feel the best about yourself? And why on earth would you want to pry into their private life now of all times?
Our fascination with other people's misfortune is completely perplexing.

Seriously though my comment was not directed toward that guy. I was saying that overconfidence is not the only reason these things happen and sometimes it is just stupidity. Where in my comment does it say "that guy" was stupid ? Also it could have been his wife mistaking the accelerator for the brake in a parking lot. Nobody really knows.
You really have to take a chill pill dude. Your anger needs adjustment.

That sucks. I live in the Seattle area and drove my Z in the rain for the first time yesterday. A little unnerving.

I got rear ended on the freeway on my bike a few years ago by an illegal alien talking on a cellphone. Immediately after the crash, there was a traffic jam of rubber neckers and there were phones pointed at me from every angle as I lay there dying. You know who called 911? Me. And only me. 300 phones filming what could've been my death and they were all more concerned with getting the shot than the human laying broken before them strugggling to fish a phone out of his pocket with a broken arm.
I need to check my anger? Maybe the human race needs to get their warped heads examined.

I did not judge the guy at all.
Monday is after track weekend.
This car had a ton of track stickers (those diagram type ones) and a number.
When one crashes a car sharing what happened helps us all.
The answer I was looking for was yeah car hit wall at track Sunday. And this is what happened.
I sad nothing bad.
Thanks for your comment to my inquiry and glad you got to voice your opinion.
Cheers!

That's the instinct they were mocking on the Simpsons. Probably forms the basis of slapstick comedy - look he got hurt, and I didn't, and he's not too bad, so that's funny.
To me a car accident is never funny, be it mine or someone else's. Maybe there's an exception, but just the smell of a body shop reception area gives me the *******.
I don't think Pacific Raceways opens until tomorrow, so don't think it was on the track, and not a car I've seen in my area (but it's a big area!).

My anger needs adjustment? How about your moral compass? That still pointing north?

You won't have to worry about the illegal aliens much longer when Trump gets in.
