When a car is that rare and expensive they will rebuild it from much less.

Well then- Even the best crash- Just for fun I looked up the price of a front wheel. $13,000 + My German is not good. Did he early apex and lift? I need to watch it a few more times.

Wow! As the old saying goes "which part of Porsche racing did you think was going to be cheap? The Porsche part or the racing part?"

Strange - he seemed to stay on the gas even when no longer in a "rally slide" and was pointed straight at the wall

Wow...Walter? Yikes. 200 kph was the speed, I think I heard . Looked like choppy rally style throttle to get it to rotate just as the camber and elevation changed.

Lost the front as the the road fell away from him but it seems like he put some steering input but then paused? Really tried to look where he wanted to go but was at full lock I think.

I am not Walter but that looked savable if he dialed out . Not sure why he didn't release the wheel the other way?

Unless something broke and he knew it would do nothing if he did ?

Even if repairable Porsche probably will never sell it. Definitely not a CPO candidate

In this crazy Porsche market they are liable to get more because Walter drove it and crashed it
