I've been doing reading around, it also seems like it could have been a mechanical failure. I remember seeing a video of a lambo crash, was the new model, was doing maybe 40-50 when was clipped from a side street in Brooklyn I believe, the car spilt in half when it hit a pole or building.
This could be a similar scenario. So speed, well excessive speed may not be a factor. Something about the flames around the front of the car and not at the back seem to point to possible steering fluid leak failure. Or, the engines from most porsches of this era have been known to melt their cooling hoses. If it melted coolant dumps out all over the rear tires. The NHTSA is actually investigating this.
Also these cars are not at all easy to drive from all accounts. Leno went for a wild ride years ago at Talladega in one. He was lucky. I know a few people racers included have said it is one of the hardest cars to drive.
I know there was talk of an S2000 within the crime scene tape. Possible street race. Seriously, I don't think Walker and his buddy are that stupid being racers themselves. I watched the security video to see if the S2000 drove by, I didn't see it due to not being clear. But the BMW that drove by with the video asking what car it was, did stop and sprint back to the scene. So I wouldn't be too hard on them just yet. Though no doubt they were rubbernecking....
