mlrtime Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 I remember a thread here about a LGT wheel breaking and people complaining about bad design/build. Here is a similar wreck on a C6. Discuss.... http://ken.ravingpsycho.com/STUSA/11122005/1%20060.jpg http://ken.ravingpsycho.com/STUSA/11122005/1%20059.jpg More pics here: http://ken.ravingpsycho.com/STUSA/11122005/ 59 - 85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mele63 Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Even Car & Driver said it can be a real handful; tail tends to break loose without warning. It will be interesting to see how this story develops.... I recall Audi installing a rear spoiler on the TT after a few incidents on the Autobahn. Lord knows, you have a lot of "Yahoos" jumping in 'vettes and getting themselves into trouble as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlrtime Posted November 23, 2005 Author Share Posted November 23, 2005 This was at a track event the driver was taking a corner too fast, lost control and rolled twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockyMtnGT Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 I bet the guy in the black Rex was smoking him, and that caused him to lose it... hehe Aren't those wheels magnesium? Did the wheel break FIRST and cause him to go off? or did he hit the curb sideways on his way off and subsequently break the wheel? Wish we had a video to reference...

Lord knows, you have a lot of "Yahoos" jumping in 'vettes and getting themselves into trouble as it is. It wasn't just the Wing on the TT, they changed the rear controll arms, too, after MY2000. Luckily when I got mine used, it had the original Control arms and was unspoiled... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodan Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Looks like Willow Springs in CA... I'm wondering if the wheel breaking caused the crash, or if it broke after the car went off track. The terrain off track is a little unforgiving in some areas. Off topic: I hear Nicholas Cage totalled 2 or 3 Ferraris at Willow, guess it's harder to be a driver than to play one...

gfxdave99 Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 This was at a track event the driver was taking a corner too fast, lost control and rolled twice. So much for the track being a safe place to explore the limits of your car If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough. - Mario Andretti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cschneider Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 No track experience + 400HP = rejected insurance claim. The vette is truly an incredible machine but put in the wrong hands it's just a recipe for disaster. Just wait until someone with a brand new Z06 gets out there, they'll be lucky if it lands within a quarter mile of the track when they lose it. Saw it at the auto show and all I can say is incredible! 505HP... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
