Z06 does a 180
I was driving my 06 a6 LMB this moring and see a Z06 coming up on me kinda fast, that Z06 driver about broke his neck to get front of me in the left turn lane at a red light.
I guess the guy was tring to show off , when the light went green and he turned left he laid down on the gas and did a nice 180 and about went nose first into a pickup. I just gave him the good old Corvette wave as i passed by him.

Sounds like the guy needs to start out slower, and work his way up to handling a Z06. Perhaps start with a nice used Celica, and get the feel for controlling that car first before playing with the big boy toys.
for the poor Z06.

Whats with Z drivers lately?
A couple of weeks ago at our local drag strip a C6 Z was racing a BMW, not sure what type. They both hit the wall
the Z is a total and the driver was not hurt, not sure about the other idiot.

It had a dealer tag on the car. No one was hurt but the drivers feelings. I think the guy had no clue how to handle the power. Most anyone knows ya don't lay down on the gas making a turn.

Would have liked to be on the other end of that phone call.
