Paul Walker was also killed when riding with a friend who was driving too fast in a Porsche. It's a really light car to be able to go that fast and there is essentially no protection for a crash.

here's an example of how a stock car can be lifted by air

Just curious, If you had your choice of any real car enthusiast's "supercar" that could out-handle a little ragging Boxster...you know.. really put it to shame in pure, mega-buck, world-class, handling response, just insane gripping of the track at any speed...unlimited budget...Lambo, Mclaren, Ferrari, etc...money no object...just name it... what would you pick?
First, I read it like you did the first time through BUT I think ragging could be replaced with ribbing, so just giving Boxsters shite which is ar for the course. Second, the only real issue is speed and since this is a non-S Boxster the Vmax is no more than 170mph (it isn't a 718 and since I can't decipher the year from the mangled body I just know it isn't more than 170). There are lots of cars that have higher top speeds, some that cost less than a Boxster, even the Stinger's top speed is 167 which I assume was his Kia bait.

Based on that video from the Philly station, the crash wasn't like this:
But more like this (with a lot more air):

I guess if was trying to make a point at all it wasn't the Kia bait.. a lot of cars will go pretty damn fast in a straight line. It seems that any "par for the course" shite that a Boxster does catch is mainly due to general misconception about exactly how fricken incredible a car the Porsche 718 series is. My half-arse rhetorical point would have been there isn't a production supercar at any price that will put one to shame in a sinuous, strap your-arse-in and hold on for your life, head to head comparison or a fierce, obstacle laden track handling situation.

Probably the classic examples of flying crashes was Mark Webber's and Peter Dumbreck's 1999 accidents in the Mercedes CLRs at Lemans.

Dumbreck

Mercedes has the 3 most famous crashes at Lemans, 1955 and the two in 1999 and both caused Merc to stop racing there.

I think it's safe to say they didn't feel a thing...

Forgot about the issues Merc had over the hump at the end of Mulsanne.
I did the same in the Nascar Racing sim 15 or so years ago. Could download the track, without chicanes, and hit that hump about 240 in a Cup car and over you went.

Could have been me.

That would be speed at time of launch not to speed huh?

Yes but despite the fact I used math I wouldn’t bet on my numbers. There are far too many variables. Having paid for a lot of accident recreations over the years this one would be expensive since it is complex. You could have ten firms do it and get 11 answers.
