My '01z with the fenders removed to relocate the coils, and the whole front generally removed since it gave more access for the project without possible damage to the painted panels.



More better...

It was. It was a '99 coupe upgraded to Z06 engine, suspension and exhaust. It was bad a$$ and got away from me. I run in a C6 Z51 now.

Either from the exhaust or the front right rotor which was on the ground after the wheel broke at the shut down markers, probably both.

What happened? Well, after the fire got big enough to melt the pressurized fuel lines at the rear of the car the fire briefly got a lot bigger. No body damage but I spent this entire winter replacing anything that was wiring, plastic, or rubber under the rear of the car.
