2015 Corvette C7 Z06 testing at the Nurburgring Crashes

geo0006 · 09-30-2014, 01:47 PM

from the article:
After we recived the video tp post we got a photo showing the yellow Corvette Z06 sitting in the middle of the track after it apparently crashed. We see the damaged front end and fluids leaking out from underneath while a track worker is sweeping debris.

4 pictures and video in the gallery

So is this the part where we get to hear about how unstable the Z06 is and how clearly GM drivers cant drive?

Because when the GT350 prototype wiped out on the Nurburgring that's all we heard.

Really sucks tho, but better iron out the issues in testing before someone does it on the street and decides to sue GM.

Came for this, am slightly disappointed.

It's a good thing the driver didn't pull the airbag fuse.

Lol, the GT350 spun out not wiped out...there's a bit of a difference between the two.

I would say though that this crash more so means the limits of the new Z06 are fairly high as I expect most professional/test drivers would be able to handle not getting into a wreck if the limits weren't very high. Sucks for Chevy and the driver, but can ultimately be viewed as good news as long as the driver is ok.

Shit happens. The new Z06 should be a beast of a car. Rather unfortunate they strayed away from all NA though :(

Must have ran over some Mustang residue from when the Z/28 blew the doors off the GT350.

Its a normal occurrence, it sucks but it happens.
