We'll get a better look today to see what the exact damage is then go from there....hell, I can always get a new Z06 right

Forgetting to turn TC off has caused me many more headaches then it's done good. WAAAAAAAY to intrusive if you ask me.
Good luck getting it fixed or getting a new one. Get out to a driving school.

what a dick thing to say. Mark just wrecked his flawless Lingenfelter Twin Turbo, and you're more concerned about him being able to handle a Z06? Mark was just trying to find an upside to wrecking his second Green C5. give him a break damn.

His first vette was wreaked because someone I believe ran a red light.

Didnt realize, should have found more info before I posted. Sorry for being a dick without knowing the whole story. Thats what I get for assuming things.
Hope you get better, and like others said cars can be replaced.

Thanks again, getting towed to the shop today and we should find out the extent of the damages!
Anyone recall the vendor that came out with a new twin turbo setup a few weeks back, looked just like the LPE setup but with rigid tubing?
No worries, I didn't take it as much of a slam, my e-***** is big these days 
. The 1st was one was due to someone running a left-turn yield, t-bone, unavoidable at best....
This one, well, a better driver for sure might've had a chance. But the back end came around so damn quick and I had 2 choices, ditch it and face a possible roll or play it safe and put it into the wall, ala DE, minus the HARNS.
I wasn't hot-doggin but the 494hp/tq certainly got away from me this time
