so these cars that are supposed to be very well tuned, suspension wise, are light in the ass and tend to hydro plane when it's wet?
i think you guys just changed my mind on my next car being a Z.....i'll stick to my 80+ mph curves in my gto with my measly 265's

^^^ Sorry i am not here to give you shit i am really sad for what happened to you my friend, but dont try to bullshit the bullshiter my friend! i know the ZO6 is a awesome well balancer car and i had a C5 before and no problems at all in the rain taking ramps at over 60 mph, but hey,,, nobodys perfect my friend,
Is there a down hill where he slide over the grass? come on my friend at 40mph you can't slide 300ft, just imposible if you got your ABS working properly and got your foot on the brake (a common reaction in such cases)
hey i am not giving nobody shit i am just posting my opinion in this matter, i have made mistakes too and i think everybody do also some time.
Like i say before i hope you good luck and your car will be better than before!

ouch.
At least your ok
Lower that shit! The front fender looks good from what I can see, lol.
These cars are not super light in the ass being 53/47... The GTO is 55/45 for comparison. The tendency to hydroplane is almost non-existant if you have good tread on street tires. Which is not the case here. (worn drag radials) The wide tires and low tread turn into skis in the rain, at 40% tread on my street tires I can hydroplane on the highway going straight...
On a side note, Collins' GTO handles surprisingly well in the mountains with just aftermarket springs and BFG sports.
why the fuck are you fools arguing about how he wrecked. is it really that big of a fucking deal that he hydroplaned in a z06 with bad drag radials?
shit, i forgot that there are so many professional drivers here on IA, my bad.....

Sorry to hear man.. good luck getting everything fixed!
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
there was a boosted yellow '08-'09 zo6 at sonic meet last night with custom painted black/yellow HRE wheels. pretty damn sick.
this is mentioned to encourage you to get the ride fixed not to rub anything in
He's correct. I have adjusted claims in the past and work for an Insurance Company now. Long as you got receipts of the aftermarket stuff, they will work with you.
As for argueing about how he wrecked. I don't think that is the issue here. I think the real issue is why the hell he would have bald tires on a Z06. First thing I do is get good tires man, just asking for trouble running tubes down the road. Wanna drag, change tires. Driving that shiz daily, better have some good tires on it, specially when Fox 5 news says. "Flood Watch...Heavy Rains"
Too bad, that is a fine car man. Good luck on a speedy recovery.

how about you suck a dick bro, have some sympathy... bolts ons/slicks/n2o and your stuck in the 11s... you sir are doing it wrong
yes it was down hill, yes the grass was wet as it rained ALL day in canton and yes if you would like to come out personally and measure the marks feel free to guys. The police that investigate this sorta thing every day and also investigated mine prob dont know as much as you all do though it seems.
why the fuck are you fools arguing about how he wrecked. is it really that big of a fucking deal that he hydroplaned in a z06 with bad drag radials?
shit, i forgot that there are so many professional drivers here on IA, my bad.....
thank you charlie bunch of jealous mother fuckers on here it seems, if you guys dont have something constructive to say then get the fuck out of my thread. awaits the "welcom to IA nub" from all the haters.
PS: thanks for the words of encouragement glides. I knew the tires were on borrowed time, thats why work let me go early and I was supposed to get new tires the very next day. On another note I changed my collision deductible from $500 to $1000 not even a week ago bc ive never had a claim in my short 8yrs of driving... FML
Not a jealous MOFO, and as i say before i am sorry you got to be tru that,
But hell, you can't fix stupid,
Nex time remember SPEED + RAIN + BALD TIRES DONT MIX!

Karma. What an ugly bitch.
damn bro sorry to hear that....
I love how people's ugly ass personalities come out when it has nothing to do with them.
1) New Flash: No1 gives a FUCK about "what you believe" his speed to have been.
2) There is no such thing as karma. You don't always get what you want in life, you don't always get what you deserve. You get what you get.

Well put bro thanks :boobies:
LOLOL holy shitballs what a scary ride!
Yeahhh I think he's legally nuts lol!
You had HID's on that? jesus christ.. I thought rice boys put aftermarkett HID's in their cars..
Sorry about the wreck.. State farm should take care of you.. If I were you, I really couldn't care less about a 30$ HID ballast..
I have HIDs too, guess night visibility is a ricer thing to want?The stock halogens are like shining a flashlight through a glass of apple juice as far as visibility and color go...
GM never ceases to amaze me.I have HIDs too, guess night visibility is a ricer thing to want?
I swear 1 in 4 newer GM truck/SUV's I see have a driving light or headlight out. They must have took the lowest bidder on headlight bulbs.
bump magnum is a awesome shop
Yeah, blinding other people is rice and dangerous.. If you have projectors, that is cool.. But putting an HID system in halogen headlights is not..I have HIDs too, guess night visibility is a ricer thing to want?

Oops...
thank you. fuckin idiots. i did the exact same thing at 45mph on 285 when my inner treads were bald on my 300zx.
water doesnt care how fast you are going.

Man sorry to hear about the ride. Especially after getting the wheel recently. I least you can look at it this way what ever is broken gets a better replacement item to fix it.
As far as the hydroplanning incident. I had a similar incident in my EF Hatch back in highschool (13 years ago). First I am not comparing a Stock EF Hatch to a C5Z, but I was going about 10-15 mph in a parking lot trying to look cool around the ladies and in my new car... didnt pay attention and hit a ice patch near the curb and bumped the side really hard. Turns out I bet the frame and F'ed the wheel up. Really sucked and def didnt look cool.Water and Ice do not like R Compound. Plus I think he would have been in a worse type situation if he were going faster (Opinion... Not a professional or Dr. in Physics)
Glad you are okay and hope your back is fine. So far my experience with State Farm has been good.
