Re: Top Toy is Dead
OMG I`m sorry to hear that but most important: you are ok! Get well soon and remember: this car saved your life...25 years old. During winter time there is enough time to find another ZR-1 that fits for you. Best wishes from Germany!

Wishing you a speedy recovery and hopefully you can move on to a new ZR-1 in the future. A lesson for all of us at all times, particularly this time of year with the changing temperatures.

I love a little frisky bursts in a straight line when the temps get close to freezing, but come an S-curve etc., gotta reign then horses in BIG TIME[-X. The short wheel base on these cars, once you loose traction combines with the power to spin these cars is a way you (I at least) never expected! (Ain't that right, Dominic??) 500+ HP is bad enough. I can only imagine what 600+ would be like;) |

My situation was same time of year. Only had a ported top end and headers at that point. Had Z06 wheels with the runflats on them. Big mistake particularly in cold weather. Watched a bunch of videos of C6 Z06s pivoting left to right on tracks and hitting walls w those tires. Fortunately I was on a track w no one in the next lane. Started losing it once I hit second gear. The car actually started crabbing towards the left and I could see I was going to kiss the wall. Started correcting which had the car pivot from left to right, but left rear corner touched the wall. That slowed the car down sufficiently to have the tires bite with my nose pointing diagonally towards the other lane and so I was launched towards that guardrail, climbing it. Then coming back down onto the track. The exhaust and C beam saved my legs and my helmet saved my head as it shattered the acrylic targa top. I recall wondering if this was the way I was going to die. Not today. [-X |
Re: Top Toy is Dead
Thank you Lord, for protecting Dennis! May he enjoy Your healing hand and recover completely, both physically and emotionally.
Our cars are gifts to enjoy, but are replaceable. Our time here is fixed. A reminder for all of us to keep our priorities in line. Enjoy life, but remember what's most important. Now, heal up and get back in the seat! Glad you are not too seriously hurt. Testament to our ZR-1! Steve Sent from my SM-G950U using ZR-1 Net Registry mobile app |

Yes, I believe He had a guardian angel watching over me! Looking at photos of the row of trees I went through, it could have easily turned out much differently. So thankful to still be here and be on the mend! I graduated from the hospital to a rehab center and am now walking with a walker!
Thanks everybody for your prayers and support! This is an incredible community of enthusiasts! |

Thank the Lord you are alright, and able to post this.....as many have said, things can be replaced. But your friends and family can't replace you.
