It must have serious damage for it to be written off
This isn't a $15,000.00 car |

Statutory write off as well, from roads authorities point of view, never to be repaired, must be bad underneath.

Far out, it says it had 100km travelled.
Would it be fair to assume this happened on the cars maiden drive and the driver really didn't have as much talent or respect for the car as he should have?

Just a modern GT. if they were rare and collectible I can understand, but you can still buy these from any FPV dealer.

To me it says ... " goes fast but sh1thouse brakes " ? ( asif !!!)
Or Is it fair to say that power may not be the reason , but the fact people upgrade from a smaller car that has better stopping distance than a larger car ??? Or we can just blame the excessive HP these things make !!! ;) Or can the driver sue ford for the car making in excess of the factory 335kw and this causing their failure to brake adequately ?

Cry? Why?
Pristine Phase 3 HO? Yes. Common-as-muck brand new GT Falcon? So what? They're just a Falcon with some modifications...certainly nothing that isn't still easily available in new car lots everywhere around the country. Sorry, but that's just the facts. It isn't exotic, it isn't super rare, it isn't a one of a kind...it's an off-the-shelf car from a big manufacturer. Still a shame, but hardly heart-breaking.
