Sure are a lot of C6Z's crashed... Makes me wonder if some people are not "respecting" the power and getting them selves into trouble.
Things can get hairy quickly if your not careful with a high HP Car like that !

I have a little more HP/TQ than a C6Z, and I know for sure when I can put my foot in it, and when not to.

I sure hope my ride does not end up on that site...

On the bright side, such viewing is more sanitary than seeing the gore in person at the wrecking yard.

Corvette generations are pre-determined? Yep, I'm rather new.

Corvette C1 (1951-1962)
Corvette C2 - Sting Ray (1963-1967)
Corvette C3 (1968-1982)
Corvette C4 (1983-1996)
Corvette C5 (1997-2004)
Corvette C6 (2005-2010)

Thanks, I thought it might be wrong, but it's in this link:

http://www.wreckedexotics.com/corvette/index.shtml

Which is also in the OP. Check it out.

So what generation is the "83?"

I guess technically the 83 could be considered part of the C4 generation, even if none were actually sold to the public.

It doesn't bother me to see these, as long as I don't have to see mine this way!

The 83' was a C-4, I think the Corvette Museum has it or Kerbecks.
