Looks like the Corvette Zed Nul Zes is too powerful for the European press to hand.. ;)


You've just taken some gas with a brandnew Corvette Z06 and 200 meters further be landing on your roof .
That happened with a driver on his way to a fotoshoot in Berlin , not a fotoshoot of himself but of the Corvette .
Its a Corvette Z06 with a 7 liter engine that goes from 0 to 100 kilometers an hour ( 60 ) in 3.9 seconds .The car costs about 120 000 euro .
Its a miracle nobody has been hurt , the police is investigating the accident .

[SilviaEvo]

owned!!! wow what a retarded driver. but youve just taken some gas??? ahha

[Banchi105]

Wow, thats probably one of the first of the z06's over in europe as well.

120,000 EUR = $145,000 USD

I had no idea the z06 cost this much in europe. I guess that price makes it a true supercar then. :shock:

[astonmartinandy]

Keep the secret - it was komotar :mrgreen: :P j/k

Lol I would love to see that road test from him when RC reads it :lol:

Hey RC 45 where did you learned to understand dutch?

This is what dutch newspaper de Telegraaf said:
A brand new corvette Z06, slid under a lorry at a filling station along the A1 near Oldenzaal. The sportscar was on the way to a photograph session in Berlin, but stranded yesterday in twente. The corvette Z06, which even stands not yet in the showroom, would be photographed in Germany for licked promotion material to bring this new thoroughbred under the attention. However it went wrong when the driver drove away from a filling station and accidentally drove over a bump and thereby launched the car. The car turned over on the roof and ended against a parked lorry. Although the car was damaged , the driver was unhurt.

id like to see the 'bump' that made the car flip.. itsnot often you see a car with such a low CG on its roof...

wouldn't be the first time somebody gets a lead foot in the rain w/out TC and looses it.

145,000 USD seems seriously steep, i'd think it would be cheaper to fly to the US, buy it, and ship it over to Europe then to pay that shite.

I didn't bother to translate the audio - I stole that as well.. ;)

But I understand Dutch.

The car drove over a bump is bullshit.

That stupi jackass turned off TC/AH and and spun towards the sidewalk and then as he ramped over the grassy terrain at an angle over turned.

Stupid inexperienced driver.

Plain and simple. 440rwhp in a car will bite your face off if you arenot respectfull of it.. ;)

I bet the driver looked at his co-pilot and said "Franz, holdt mein bier schteeeein - und vatch dis..."

;)

[Shinigami]

So the Z was driven by someone who works for the European Parliament/Council/Commission... etc?

There goes RC insulting Europeans again ;)

You all live in a big socialist commune - so I wouldn't be surprised.

And if "Eurocrat" offends you, then maybe y'all should become a nuetral 3rd party...

Oh - wait - you are already :) So it shouldn't bother you one iota... :)

[redbaron]

I found some more information about the accident.

The Z06 was driven by a 21 year old trainee of a dutch car magazine. He lost the car, because it accelerated faster than he thought and was launched by the banked grass bed beside the road. He lost his licence because of reckless driving. The car was registered the day before....

B.T.W the guy on the second pic of the post of RC45 below is the 21 year old bastard

[RC45]

Linky no workeee - linkee fixed ;)

[RC45]

Well - we didn't ACTUALLY take the pictures... ;)

[gucom]

my 1st thought when i saw the car upside down was that he might've hit hte beginning of the guardrail/armco...it's flipped more cars...
anyway what a n00b, i wonder if he still works for hte car mag...cant wait to see a report of it, if they ever publish about this...

[dutchmasterflex]

ouch. :shock:

It's absolutely ridiculous to see a brand spanking new Zed Nul Zes pretty much totalled.. although ridiculous its not unbelievable.. this car is a true monster and its inevitable that many first drivers will get into trouble..

this guy must of been shitting his pants as he was sliding on the roof towards that trailer.. in the video you can see the bumper of the trailer puncturing the drivers door.. (i'm assuming chevy isnt making any RHD Z06's?)

[MrFranks]

To quote AllanLambo:

"1 Shitbomb down, 999,999,999 to go"


I'm just shitting ya, RC.

[RC45]

IP Check - Isle 5, IP Check, Isle 5 please :P

I had no idea the z06 cost this much in europe. I guess that price makes it a true supercar then. :shock:

No, that makes it an overpriced pice of plastic and fibreglass. I would much rather have a viper. Anyway... Imagine the truckdriver looking in his side mirror and seeing a corvett flying towards him.

Can you imagine the truckdrivers damage report.
"I was trying to get some sleep, when I was hit by a corvette sliding on it's roof" haha

[RC45]

That runs 0-60 in 3.5s, the 1/4 mile in 11.5s and 0-150 in 15s and 60 - 0 in 100ft and can pull 1.2g's on a track.

It is a docile as a pussy cat when it is daily driven and can lap the Nurburgring in 7m42s when it's let lose in anger.

It also has a full trunk, gets almost 30mpg on the highway and has unlimited mod otential - it loks like the Z06 came to Europe and beat youguyson your own turf.

It has the daily manners of an Audi/BMW, the performance of a Ferrari/Porsche and the exlusivity of the Macca F1 ;)

And you don't have to an Arab crown prince to afford it.


Oh - it's won LeMans 4 of the 5 times it was entered ;)

Case closed... :)

easy, easy I like the car =), It's just that the prices+tax over here are so ridiculously high. I ran a check at the customs dept. and it costs almost $340.000,- here.. :(

[RC45]

^^ then move... ;) :P hehehe --- why do you think I didn't hang around in South Africa for "the economy to get better for the poor working fools..." ;)

I am now a "poor working fool" in the US of A.... but am doing it in relative comfort... :)

[Skaala]

In a year or so I'm moving to Germany or the US to do my masters. It's not that money is a big problem, but you feel you keep getting f***ked by the government with it's high taxes. I understand why Petter Solberg moved the second afte he got his contract with subaru.

[RC45]

Well - whats the point of making $250,000 a year - if you pay 70% in taxe after your income tax, property tax, dog tax. car tax, wife tax, sex tax, tv tax and finally death tax... ;)

You may as well just make $110,000 and just pay 30% overall taxes ;)

Same difference - yah? hehe

But all that free health care and other social programs for the lazy have to come from somewhere... ;)

:P

Holy cow economic politics even influences buying hot rods... ;) hehe

[Cornutu]

this hurts

[5vz-fe]

On the bright side, we see the underside of the car outside of magazine shots LOL!
Cars don't total itself, it stupid jackass that totals it.
