VIDEO - Addison, TX: Ford GT Burns Up On Beltline Rd In Addison - VIDEO
 
I know this is not Ford GT Forum, but I thought some of you might be interested in this. Plus, there might be someone on here that knows who's car this is?

That sucks. That is one Ford that I would love to own.

Know this car, belongs to a CF member, thats a sad sight to see, glad the owner is well.. Agree with Rich, this is one of the cars I would LOVE to own.

Here is the thread on CF introducing this car, bookmarked it a long time ago: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-f...o-ford-gt.html

The owner has already come out, so it's no big secret. It's Kumar and he had some recent modifications done that made it one very bad mama-jama. Unfortunately, it appears an oil/fuel line or something failed which caused the fire and the loss of this beautiful car.

That sucks! Do you know if the car is a total loss? (I don't see how it couldn't be, but I might as well ask)

Actually, it'll just need a wash and wax and it should be good to go.



No, I'm sure it's a total loss

Well, not that one, actually. . . . Right Rich?

I saw that beautiful car when I lived in Dallas. That is a real tragedy. I also saw a Viper burn up on Preston Road in Plano several years ago. Hate to see that happen to anyone's ride.

Stewart Allison 05-19-2011 11:19 PM

That makes me sick in the stomach ! If that was mine I would of drank the fuel as to save the car. Christ I hope he has insurance. What a waste of supercar :( Stewy

damn really sucks for kumar looks like he has a new porsche in the stable though which he had before this , but will be hard to top a FGT TT car.

yellow01 05-20-2011 11:40 AM

Ugh...

Did he not have an extinguisher? or did it not help?

I had an oil line to a cooler burst one day on my way to work... my car would have done this had I not had an extinguisher. I'm never without one now.

I'm so sorry to see this happen...

yonson 05-20-2011 07:35 PM

He said it happened so fast he didn't have time to grab the extinguisher :(

RIP F ENZO...

Gary '09 C6 05-20-2011 11:05 PM

ILLUSHN 05-21-2011 10:57 PM

What a shame! I love that car! :cry
