Welp decided to run up to meet the wife for dinner at the wing spot. Coming around a bend and the back end stepped out, corrected once and flicked back counter clockwise. Was just lucky enough there was a culvert that spun me back around or else the whole rear end would’ve been into a pole.
Only real damage I have found so far is the rear wheel (of course) and a spot on the passenger side skirt. Picking up new wheels in the morning. Hopefully black z06.
Nothing in the rear end looks bent, cracked, shifted out of place. Im hoping the bottom lip of the wheel and it breaking took most the force and not my diff and axle. The cradle bolts and everything else seem to be straight and not bent over at all. Drivers side looks to be straight and nothing is shifted. The rear bumper went right back to its normal position once we pulled it out.
Hopefully got really lucky but will update tomorrow.
Amazing how the spokes of the wheel blew off. Probably saved you from damaging the suspension. At least no one got hurt.
when I went back and looked where the car slid it just barely caught the lip of the culvert with the wheel. I’m glad I wasn’t fully down in the ditch and caught the center of the wheel and body panels
Well got the wheels and tires on. Rolled it down the driveway and wheel doesn’t seem to roll out of wack at all. Drove down the road up to 30 and no drivetrain noise at all, vibrations, about to head to the alignment shop now.
I once rounded a corner in a rental BMW 3-series in the snow at like 3 mph. The car slid sideways into the curb, which utterly destroyed the rear suspension.
Had to have it towed.
I owned a 3-series BMW coupe, which had the rear-end tear out the body mount. BMW fixed it under warranty - with 42 miles left, LOL.
Corvette rear suspensions must be STRONK LIKE BULL!

lol yeah I think I was just able to hit it just right on the rim so that it broke away and saved everything else.
I think these 315/30 have too low of a side profile. My wheel gap is crazy now. I’ll need to replace all the tires on the new wheels anyways
I am already lowered on stock bolts now. May go aftermarket bolts but I’m looking at new tires anyways. 315/35r18 Toyo TQ will put me back about stock with 26.6” tall tire.

Yeah it’s on the alignment rack right now. Everything is looking good and nothing bent. Just some minor fiberglass work on the rocker panel and front fender liners. Found most the parts plus some others I might as well replace that need it on vettenuts.
Bet that caused a real pucker factor. Sure glad you are OK and good luck with the repairs.
oh yeah. Especially when I saw the telephone pole coming and somehow missed it but inches, but seeing the car on the trailer now with the z06 wheels makes me want to just start ordering the parts
