This is what happens when a journalist wrecks a new Z06.

Heh - looks like it protected the passenger cabin pretty well. Can't imagine the dynamics involved to flip something that low and wide.

Yup - watching now.

They were saying that it can do a sustained 1.04G - I like the HUD with the g-meter in it. It got as high as an indicated 1.27g! I liked that quote, "giving this car to Corvette owners is like giving an AK-47 to the psych ward"

[/quote]The g-meter on the hud is very cool. And, I loved the AK-47 comment.

Remember the quote "giving this car to Corvette owners is like giving an AK-47 to the psych ward." Well, here is what can happen--to a journalist apparently testing the car. I think my interpretation is correct, but ....

Z06 Wreck.
