Default Emergency Exit at Sebring ;-)

Hubby showed me this link... didn't see it posted anywhere else on here.

A Z06 at Sebring using the emergency exit.




EDIT: I'm not 100% sure that's a Z06... looks like it to me, though.

I debated on never posting again, but I think I just screwed that up.

I posted this in the autocross and road racing section. And that is not even C7 much less a C7 Z06.

Wow, I don't know, it looks like a C7 from a passenger side GoPro or the like. I'm guessing, from what I saw, was the brakes overheated and he lost them for a while. His little "drive around" through what looked like a Hotel parking lot was to cool them down enough to work again. Just guessing though.

I'd guess you're correct OR he needs to change his/her drug dealer.

It's like watching The Naked Gun intro.

Someone needs to superimpose the music on it.

The hood looks like it is a C4 hood. Notice there isn't any hood opening seam. The first question I ask students is "What do you do when the brake pedal goes to the floor? The answer is pump the brakes fast. If that doesn't work then you pull the parking brake.

I've heard of brakes "going away" but wow...I didn't think he was ever going to get it stopped.
