Default Corvette Z06 Has a Bad Day on the Nurburgring



This poor Corvette Z06 found out the hard way why they call the Nurburgring the Green Hell.

Read the rest on the Corvette Forum homepage. >>

The Z06 driver should have looked both ways twice while using his ears to hear as well.
No sympathy for the Z06 owner here.

Damn, that sucks.

And to advocate for the driver, he could have looked before he started to roll out, but not long enough.

Since all cars were coming out of the S-turn, he could have looked and it was all clear, but 2 or 3 seconds later, the German car followed suit coming out of the turn unfortunately clipping the Vette.

Believe me, the 'Ring is unforgiven. I almost ate the wall twice. That was enough for me to yeild to the 'Ring after my second "successful" lap unscathed. I then parked and allowed my surging adrenaline to slow down and get back to reality.

Is the driver of that Vette a member here?

Holy F*CK! That's a car prepared by TIKT Performance ..
About the rear spoiler .. it's probably from LG Motorsports.

I bet the tow truck was upset as he rounded the corner with one already on the bed seeing a need for two more...
