Killed the ZO6 tonight....
 

Well, after dinner tonight on the way home I lost control and next thing I know straight into the guardrail at about 45mph. The Vette is dead, luckily my passenger and myself are ok!!!! So thats both my vehicles in one week. I wonder which one will get finished first...

Re: Killed the ZO6 tonight....
 

Glad to hear your OK..... it sucks but the car can be replaced, you and your passenger cant.... any pics?

Re: Killed the ZO6 tonight....
 

sorry to hear that !! Good thing y'all didn't get hurt !

My wife got rear ended in her mercedes today. She didn't get hurt, the car almost isn't damaged. The guy's car that hit her is almost totalled. Some piece of japanese trash car...

Re: Killed the ZO6 tonight....
 

1. Glad to hear your both OK :)
2. Bad to hear the Z is dead :crying:
2. Looking forward to hear what was going on in the car that made you drive straight into a guardrail ;)

Re: Killed the ZO6 tonight....

Re: Killed the ZO6 tonight....
 

This way you can pay twice as much and get your ass handed to you by every Vette and Viper out there.:raar:

Re: Killed the ZO6 tonight....
 

If any of you vette or viper owners would like to try it for pink slips, let me know !!!!!!!!!

0 to 100 and back to 0 in 11.6 seconds!

Re: Killed the ZO6 tonight....
 

Z06 will pwn you.

Fizzeled

Relax Kenickie, I think Thunder Road is closed until the Spring :fdance: :D

Re: Killed the ZO6 tonight....
 

And a used one will still run you more than a new Z06. What could I possibly do with the extra $$$ to make the Z06 run quicker in a lovely (useless) straight line speed test.....

Re: Killed the ZO6 tonight....
 

1. Thank you very much, me too :)
2. I was totally :OWNED: LooAking forward to seeing the estimate .... Or if they total it..........
3. As much as I would like to say I was in the middle of the perfect BJ, unfortunately I just hydroplaned and pulled a 90 into the guardrail.

Thanks everyone for their good wishes (except DRTYFN)!!! I will keep you posted and send pics when I go take a look at it in the tow yard tomorrow....

Re: Killed the ZO6 tonight....
 

100 yards(light to light) any vette vs my Jeep(no typo i said jeep) Sign the pink now. Any further than that and she gets a little hard to handle(just like a wife)

Re: Killed the ZO6 tonight....
 

Well, what did you expect from me for killing a Z06 - A pat on the back??? You must have been f*cking around or not paying attention. You've wrecked two vehicles in a very short span of time. You need a good swift kick in the nuts. :twak:

Re: Killed the ZO6 tonight....
 

Lifted H2 1/8 mile in 10.5 ...LOL

Re: Killed the ZO6 tonight....
 

the turbo if you get the overboost package will do 60 in 2.9, and none-the-less it still handels better and looks better.

Re: Killed the ZO6 tonight....
 

Maybe you can ask your parents for one for christmas. :fdance:

Re: Killed the ZO6 tonight....
 

Maybe the money should be spent on a dictionary?

Re: Killed the ZO6 tonight....
 

Don't get me wrong - I love Porsches, but I'll take a car that isn't going to swap ends in a corner if you lift off the throttle. And you keep dreaming about that 2.9 to 60 - I promise you - you'd sh*t your pants if you were in a car that would do mid 4 second runs to 60, so forget the imaginary 2.9. Besides, getting a car to hook up properly with that much power is a balancing act.

Re: Killed the ZO6 tonight....
 

Z06 0-60 3.7 sec
GT2 0-60 3.6 sec.....cost 190,000 + (This is Porsche's fastest 0-60 car they currently produce)

I can not find any data to support your 2.9 second claim. Too bad the base Corvette turns faster lap times than half of the 911 series, let alone what the Z06 runs. As far as I can remember, there are only 2 Porsche's that can turn a faster lap time than the Z06, and one was only a tenth of a second faster. Of course every one of those is twice the price...

Re: Killed the ZO6 tonight....
 

I didn't wreck the H2, I was having problems with the tranny. I thought a know it all like you who lives on this forum would pay better attencion. :notallthere:

Re: Killed the ZO6 tonight....
 

Any pics of the damage yet?

Re: Killed the ZO6 tonight....
 

On the site porsche shows their times in stick and about .2 seconds slower than they really are becuase hte average driver cant shift as fast as a test driver. And if you get the auto tranny with the overboost it does 3.2, yes porsches auto/tiptronic is faster than manual, weve had it clocked on our turbo and weve done 3.3 without the boost so i have no doubt whatsoever that with wait and perfect weather it would have done the 3.2 as for the 2.9 ive read it many places and say its possible with the boost it gives you an extra 2.9 psi boost and they say it iwll drop it down to 2.9 seconds. as for the lap im sure the corvette would run it faster its got a more powerful engine. but the Turbo is 4 wheel drive and handles like no other on the street.

Re: Killed the ZO6 tonight....
 

0-60 times are useless now a days..... 1/4 mile trap speed will give you some honest info about what kind of power a car is making. Once you get to the point where traction becomes a serious issue a 0-60 measurement doesnt mean $hit in terms of overall performance,1/4mile, top speed or lap times.

Re: Killed the ZO6 tonight....
 

Strange, every piece of data I've found on the car shows nothing near what you claim. I guess top gear, road and track, and car and driver all must have done biased tests on the car so the average driver wouldn't feel so butt hurt when they couldn't match the times. 3.4 is the fastest time I managed to find....a half a second slower than your claim. GM under respresents the Z06 also, it's actually capable of sub 2 second 0-60 times, at least that's what I heard...so it must be true :notallthere:

Re: Killed the ZO6 tonight....
 

If it handles so great, why does a base (non Z06) Corvette spank it on a road course???? 5 seconds quicker and only a hundred grand cheaper...
