Ferrari Mailing List: Thrills and Kills...Re: Vintage LM Race vintage tachymeters

[LS (lashdeep]

This thread reminded me of a conversation I had with another local Ferrari 
enthusiast. He mentioned reading an article about the Pagani Zonda and how an 
interview with one of the designers illustrated the changes made in safety. The 
designer mentioned a supercar that has "killed hundreds" since the 1970s. We 
were trying to figure out which one they were talking about and both agreed on 
the 930 a few minutes later. It's the only potentially dangerous car we could 
come up with that had both the sales figures and BHP to kill hundreds.

What is the consensus for the deadliest cars of all time? And, by deadly, I 
mean dentist killer, and not for the inexperienced.

1. AC Cobra
2. Porsche 930
3. Dodge Viper
4. ???

I guess "ridiculous" to me would be "most potential to kill yourself"
multiplied by the cost of the car. So we've had complete newbies come out in
Vipers, Radicals, Saleen S7, and of course Ferraris. While these seem to
work out in the end, it always makes me nervous. I wonder if our insurance
policy went through :)

On the other end of the scale, I'm always happy to see those coming out in a
Civic, Nissan Maxima or VW Golf - they either are doing it completely on a
shoestring, or they know well how full their bank account is.

Then there's always the oddballs, the Dodge pickups and Porsche Cayennes...
