Right, even with TC/AH on, she can get out on your if you don't respect the Z. What did you hit to destroy the tie-rod or whatever broke? All i see is grass. is their a hidden curb beyond the grass line?

Wow, not so hard to figure out what type of Corvette guy this is. Look at the front wheels, so much brake dust they remind me of taxi cab wheels.

doesnt know how to drive the car, obviously...
saw on tv some dude had a z06 with a cam making 535 rwhp and ran a 12.6 in the quarter
stock you can do sub 12... what a maroon!

now if it was totally wet I can understand, but its dry... you have to be a ****ty driver to do that!

The guy looked @ me as i was sitting @ the stop light, stops, dumps the clutch ( 28 deg outside) and loses control, spins the car 180 deg and jupmed a curb off of the service road into the grass @ an Arby's.. Keys were still in the car when i got back around to the car, the dude had taken off running, i called the police,wrecker,, the car was stolen out of Dallas...
