Not at all a fan of the movies, but damn, that's out of nowhere and definitely terrible to hear.

Poor guy.
Paul actually showed some promise as an actor. It's a shame he'll forever be known for doing car porn now.

How goddamn fast would you have to be going to annihilate a car like that? They are lucky they didn't kill numerous people

This really blows. I love the Fast movies and he was a big part of that.

They are lucky they didn't kill numerous people I've been reading around the internet that Porsches are apparently notoriously difficult to handle at higher speeds, too. (Not that I would ever be in a position to know.) I won't get into the technical details but yes the Carrera GT is a notoriously fast and difficult car to drive. This is due to the fact that it is an RMR or Rear Wheel drive car. Meaning the engine is in the mid to back of the car which will produce more oversteer when the driver losses control. Here's the top gear review of the car and you can see even the stig (Who's a professional racecar driver) spins the car out.

It's a tragedy, but when it's something like this, it's usually high speed that is the cause of the wreck.

Damn shame. Always enjoyed the F&F movies, I know people deride them for lacking plot or just being dumb action movies, but that's what you need sometimes. Won't be the same without him, that's for sure.

Oh, don't worry, it wasn't aimed at you. Just general detractors of the films seem to use that as one of their base points when trying to say how they're bad.

They are lucky they didn't kill numerous people Most of those high dollar sports cars aren't exactly built to withstand impact like cars that the average person has, they're built for speed and looks. I'm sure that he was speeding but I'd bet that he wasn't doing any crazy speed or anything.

I'll be honest, I never heard of the guy until last night. RIP to him and the other guy in the car with him.

My mom just showed me a picture of him. His face is like nearly split in half. Doubt that pic is of him. Probably a photo that's been around the Internet for a while that someone has decided to label as him.

According to several news reports the sheriff's department have announced "the bodies were so badly burned it will take days for them to be positively identified", so any photos 'leaked' so far are certainly fake.

Yeah, that's what I figured. They didn't look like deadly car crash injuries, especially since like you said the bodies would have suffered severe burns.

All I can say is I hope the causes of death were due to the impact, because burning to death is a really horrific way to go.
