Well it is ugly now. (I think the C7 is the horniest Corvette built to date) The cause was probably a mod gone wrong, lol. Love these I can do it better than GM backyard mechanics. (of which there seems to be no shortage of!)

Sucks it happened and glad they got out. Says he's going to get another sports car but steer clear of the Corvette.....well, his loss. Must not "really" be a Corvette guy then.

I carry a fire extinguisher in the car so hopefully it can stop the fire quickly. If you do carry one, make sure to get the right kind. Don't buy one designed to stop fire in your house. You need a Halon fire extinguisher.
Halon is a "Clean Agent." The National Fire Protection Association defines, a "Clean Agent" as "an electrically non-conducting, volatile, or gaseous fire extinguishant that does not leave a residue upon evaporation." Halon is a liquefied, compressed gas that stops the spread of fire by chemically disrupting combustion.
