Default C5 Z06 goes boom

I know I had mentioned this vid before, but can't find the original thread. Plus the vid link wasn't working at that time.

In any case poor Vette:

Too much boost, or more likely a NO2 accident.

I"m guessing entirely too much boost. I've seen NO2 blow ups and there wasn't any fire

I am sad to say that I did almost the same thing in my Pro-Street pickup truck. Blew flames out the fenders and destroyed two pistons.

A truly bad day for this guy!

The problem with that one is that he was trying to spray in first gear. I think that is pretty stupid when you are drag racing a corvette with a 6spd. The first gear in any 6spd car is so short there is absolutely no point in making it any shorter. This gives even the quickest shifting driver less time to shift as you are spinning your tires quickly into your redline (while spraying). Not to mention if you listen to the video and watch the video closely he didnt even have any traction ... SO WHY SPRAY!!! COMPLETE MORON PERIOD. I think there are video games out there that can teach you this lesson without having to actually experience it to learn something!

It is so easy to use nitrous to play the catch up game and there you have it, the perfect hustle (as long as youre not dumb enough to tell the guy who is obviously not on your side and has a camera to watch your f*ck ups, that you have a CORVETTE WITH NITROUS - talk about an easy way to not make friends at the track!).

But now that I think about it if you listen to the guy in the video the impala ran a 14 .xx (it doesnt matter), I believe a corvette with intake and exhaust should be able to run a 12. Why was this moron even racing an impala. What a bully! Rich boys with their toys .... HAHAHAHAH

Anyways nice post with the vid ... gives us one more person to point the finger at and laugh ... notice how the guy in the video made fun of the guy with the vette ... that was sick.
