brand new Z06

so i went to the track last friday for street legals just to watch the cars run.
there was this brand spanking new 07 or 08 Z06 corvette there that looked like it came right from the dealership
it didnt run till later in the night but i stayed just to see it run cause i was curious what the 505hp could do
so hes finally lined up against this truck and they go off the line fairly even but about at half track the back end of the vette swings out and the driver couldnt correct it and smashed into the wall!
so this guy brings his brand new $100 000 corvette to the track and smashed the whole front end of it!
he was fine but his car was wrecked
god that was the best $10 i've ever spent hehe

 Lord, you give them money, but no brains!

Wow, that sucks for the guy who owns the vette, but I just got to say LOL!!!!!!!!

That sucks, and its not 100k.

It is if you're in Canada

i would make sure it would stay straight and i could handle it before i tried that, my cuz had a supercharged roush mustang and he never ran it at the drag strip for that reason, he had enough brains not to

ya i think they are close to 100k up here in canada
havent really looked into it but they are dam expensive lol
but ya like it was scary to see but then when the guy got out and was fine and everything all i could do was laugh lol
i laughed for like 2 hrs straight afterwards
i bet the guy was crying
couldnt see cause he was so far away but i wouldve cried lol!
but ya no kidding huh that was prob the first time that guy put his foot to the mat in that car
could have atleast gotten a feel of the car before he took it to the track...

He probably turned off the TCS too, because he had to prove that he was better, lol.

He shouldn't have had any troubles, those Roush stangs are slow as hell (for what they are) unless you get into the computer. They are quite sad really.
 
That sucks for the Vette guy.  You never know, the guy could have ran 600+hp cars before with no troubles, this one just bite him in the ass or hit oil.  I pray it will never happen, but know everytime I hit the juice there is a chance I will break lose.  Right now I worry more about the weak ass 10 bolt then losing it halfway down the track.

Didnt know it was in Ganada...

Me neither, but I just took a guess, since everything is more expensive up here.

dont know what all he had done to his roush but it wasnt slow at all,it was a 1998 model and every time you get on it from a dead stop it would broad side almost instantly and again when you hit 2nd so he would have definately been in the wall too

Sounds like your friend needed some better tires. just giving ya crap dude.  I think Mustangs are worthless unless its a 03 or 04 Cobra.  All others are slow in stock form.

 I once saw a Supra literlly spin the tires down the whole 1320 and nearly put it in the wall at the finish line.  Came back next time with some drag radials and did a little better, ran a 14 at like 100 something mph.  Pretty patheatic for a 1200whp car.

hehe well thats not a bad time if its tires were spinning the whole time :)

The first past he like a 17-18 seconds.  The 14 second pass he didnt get on it until probably half track.  I hold by my statement that Supras are Dyno Queens, but they are one of my favorite Jap Imports.

i love my supra on need for speed lol
they are slick lookin cars

ya they are so nice
we can import the new generation from japan finally too cause of their 15 year export rule
should see more of them on the streets pretty soon :)

i saw a black supra this week on the streets, 1st one i have saw in a while, it looked good fixed up,

I''ve wanted a supra for a long time now. I know their stock hp isn''t the best; but they definitely turn heads. I still hate myself for not getting my hands on a black twin-turbo for $10,800; but I was almost positive it had been used for transporting dope so I didn''t think it was worth the risk at the time. Now its hard to find one for less than 30k that I don''t have. Oh well.
