[Z06] another Z06 bites the dust :(

Safety Car
I've been on this road in my C4 and my C5-Z06 plenty of times....you cannot go very fast on it. I've also been on rides with the owner of this Z, and he's a pretty darn good driver - very capable of handling the car (not his first or last high hp car). The problem was not his speed, it was the debris in the road. This could have happened to anyone of us.
As for permission to post pics........if you read, the original poster and the owner of the wrecked Z are friends - the thread references the two having spoke about the accident.

Also noticed meanz06 took down all but the smallest pic on the front page. Maybe the owner wasnt thrilled about it....

Think about it for a second. I already know you can crash. Why would someone want to race you, and on a public road for that matter?
You would think after crashing and flipping a C6 Z06 on a road where the conditions of the road are not maintained and kept up, you would leave the racing for the track.

You know, there are places called race tracks. Most people enjoy going out to them. Driving at high speeds. No fear of critters, pedestrians or holy cow GRAVEL
You are not the first person, or the last to wreck.... no I'm sorry... completely F'in ruin a brand new car with less than 1,000 miles on the clock.
I also find it hilarious that I have some how managed to keep my street car with 470 RWHP no traction control or active handling, an outdated chassiss on the road for several years now. Gravel in the road or not, and keep in mind I live in a rainy climate as well where traction is also limited.
Instead of sucking it up like a man and admitting you made a mistake, glad you are alive and didn't harm anybody else, you come on here and start getting pissed off. Good job Gomer.

I recommend you buy your second Z06, Keep it stock, and attend a few driver's courses. Then, if you manage to flip the second one, go back to the same driver's course with a different car and donate the amount you WOULD have spent on a third Z06 to charity.
Note: I am very glad that you and your passenger were unharmed. Please make a concerted attempt to never let such an incident occur again within your lifetime.
With all that being said, wouldn't you be happier with a Cobra 'Stang or a 1000+ HP Supra TT? You should be. It's easier to flip.
Leave your knife at the door, some have brought a firearm to the same fight. Quit while you are behind.

Get rid of this post. Ugh!
This post is weak and if anything it upsets most Z06 owners. Nobody flips like that @ a meager 35mph first of all. Second, open it up where you know roads for heavens sake. Lastly, why so proud to WRECK A CAR??? I mean who gives a crap if it is a Z06 or a YUGO.....If you need some attention I bet many people here on the forum can find it for ya. Take care of those Z's boyzzz......lots of fun. USA
