managing a blow out on a car can be difficult for some people. i'd probably screw up the car, having never had a blow out. however, a 68yr old who's likely to have worse reaction time than me, but more experience with one, who knows.

at the speed of the car a blowout will increase in difficulty. plus think...if u weren't driving a porsche but instead maybe a cobalt(130mph limiter) would u attempt to go that quick? i think maybe we've gone over 100(personally 126) in the trust of car and it's pedigree, then it goes wrong.

hell i wanna race my car on a track, nice 87 944, but i'm doing brakes and suspension before i even get a racing lisence.

as much as you'll hate it, i'd pay to see a blowout in an older 911 with only rwd...and someone control that. it'll b more difficult. if it were a diabetic shock, the medical examiner would have suggested that, not suicide. heart attack/stroke, a person can safely come to a stop in the event of a stroke, heart attack not so much, depending on severity of course.

on most cars blowouts are very easy to control, when going in a straight line.

If you are going around a corner and one of the completely loaded tires blew out. that is a completely different story.

Excellent theory Brian
