    Angry wrecked the Z06 on the way home from work yesterday!!!

    So I was on my way home not a half mile from the house and I hydroplaned. The ass end came around and lead the front end into the grass. I slid at 40mph nearly 300ft in the grass until I ran into an embankment. 40-0 in less than a second. MY back is a little sore today and im still kinda shaken up. It sucks and im pretty upset about it. My buddy is on his way up here right now and we are towing it to Magnum to see what the deal is. Its a rough sight but pretty minor cosmetically. The only thing that worries me is the roughly 3" of wheel gap on both sides of the front when I was slammed before the incident. Shocks are clearly busted, I some how lost a ballast to one of the HIDs, half of the intake was laying on the ground. Rear leaf spring was on the ground, one of the iforged is kinda trashed, doesnt seem its bent but will need repainting and polishing the lip, it cut a bunch of wires under there and pushed the radiator back... we shall see what happens I guess my biggest fear is that State Farm will not fix the aftermarket stuff. Like if my headers are messed up or the missing HID ballast, wheels stuff ect... All in all im very fortunate nobody else was involved and worse yet that I didnt slide into oncomming traffic. I guess it was just my day.

    probably the new wheels. all that rubber on the ground can cause an easy hydroplane if too much foot is put the floor. or bald tires.

    well, if the tires in the back were rediculously wide (12" or so, not many people would buy iForged wheels and NOT go wide) - and almost needing replacing - then i'll believe every word of it.

    40mph was probably just the impact speed (note he said he was sliding in the dirt for a good little ways before impact)

    sucks bro, hopefully they'll take care of all the damage.

    Not as bad as I thought, good thing you are okay. It could have been much worse. See how much you can rip the insurance company off. I was hydro-planing everywhere yesterday too... 315's suck ass in the rain...

    ouch for sure but like all have said good thing you are ok. my friend got in a wreck in his s2k and he got a new aftermarket front bumper, aftermarket rear bumper, badass cf trunk, and they recleared his cf hood so hopefully you will come out of the shop with some new mods like most do after an insurance claim

    Looks like a couple hundred dollars worth of damage to me. It'll be back on the road in no time - I give it a week tops.

    This is why I avoid driving my c5z in the rain, they hydroplane pretty easily. I am running NT05's and they aren't that bad, but still a little scary sometimes. Good thing you weren't hurt.

    maybe couple thousand lol... he said the radiator was pushed back and other crap... wouldn't be suprised if the frame bent a little and they proclaim it totaled... sucks that it happened but at least you're ok.

    I am very sorry for what you are going tru bro that really was a nice car, and it is a very sad thing to hear that happened to you!

    But i am sorry, i dont buy the 40mph story eather, i have been in the rain, welded rearend and cheater slicks 275 60 15 and yea it is a pain to drive in the rain but if i do not make any stupid thing the car is under control, no matter how bad the nitto 555r are in the rain, trust me they are not even half as bad as driving on cheater slicks!

    Anyway i hope your insurance cover all of it and whomever have the chance to fix it i really hope does the job the way it should be and the car comes out better than it was!

    I CAN kind of believe the 40mph thing.. only because i rode on bald tires , with aftermarket wheels in the rain. And it is very very not fun. All it takes is a small puddle and the car will glide whatever direction it wants to. I never wrecked.. but it was bound to happen if i kept riding like that..

    anyway.. you ll fix it im sure.

    Sorry to hear about your mishap. Don't drive your nice car in the rain unless you have to
