Default Corvette Fires

What's with all the Corvette on fire threads lately. I know they are hot cars, but is there something going on we should be aware of, like high pressure fuel line leaks?

One that I know of was spraying a 150 shot on top of a Heads/Cam, guess the new C6 Z06 just wasn't fast enough for him.

Default Check Up

Anyone who has raced will tell you before you go out to check you ride, for leaks,ectectect. If you have mod your car you should do it every day if you drive it daily. Just a minute under the hood or checking the tires does help. Not say, these people haven't but it does help.

I've noticed the same thing. No particular model but several have been Z06's. Be safe everyone.
