Default Z06 wrecked this weekend...

Just a heads up to everyone, my C6Z with 25k miles was wrecked this weekend. I'll pose some pics later today.

My friend was driving it and someone cut him off causing him to lose control and drive off the road, that driver then blew a red light and caused another accident 100ft down the road. Everyone from both accidents is okay. The reckless driver was not caught.

Just a reminder to stay vigilant and aware of your surroundings, things can happen that are 100% out of your control...

I'll have some good stuff to part out, such as a Mamofied MSD, ARH headers, etc..!!

Good news is I may be in the market for a used ZR1

+1, question needs an answer.

'6 Z06 owners learned all too well what these cars can do under WOT under the wrong conditions.
Feels like a rooky mistake, minimally unfamiliar w/ C6 Z06 anyway.

How's that if some one cut him off?
OP sorry about your Baby. My attitude exactly, if something breaks , an opportunity to make something better. If you go to a ZR you will love ❤️ Glad all were OK.
