Re: Bad accident (RedZ)
:mad What the hell were those guys doing driving like that in those conditions! :mad Who the F would be hot rodding on slick pavement, the worst possilbe conditions, when roads are just barely wet. As I hope they both come out of this being ok and do feel very sorry for them, but everyone needs to realize there is a time and place to speed around, especially in the Z06. This was not one of them. My prayers are for them and their familes :grouphug:

Re: Bad accident (RedZ)
Thanks for the post, sometimes I think that posting this terrible news may make us think twice about acting irresponsible on public roads. A very horrible tragedy..... :nonod:

Re: Bad accident (03QuicksilverZ06)
I am not ging to be too quick to pass judgement on this accident. I didn't see anything about racing or hotrodding in thie newspaper article, and If you check this forum, you will find many threads concerning the poor performance ot the stock supercar tires in the wet, including some posts from drivers who were just driving straight down the (wet) road when they hydroplaned and spun.
