Default Pics of Fire extinguishers in Corvettes?

Dang, a good buddy of mine in a Camaro ZL1 that was modified had a small under the hood fire, no root cause at this time.

Question do any of the forum members recommend a fire extinguisher specifically for a convertible C6?

What brand and where did you mount it?

If my vette catches fire I think Id rather have the insurance payout than salvage it enough that I end up keeping a rebuilt fire damaged car.

Right. I’m just thinking about my surroundings. Perhaps your car is on fire near mine, I want to put it out. 😂

Car on fire

1). Get out of car and get passenger (if present) out of car
2). Assess if fire extinguisher can help
3). If fire extinguisher can help get it and go to work on extinguishing fire

Yup. All our cars are worth more burned to the ground....assuming it's insured of course.
