Dutch Z06 crash!!!
This afternoon a car-magazine journalist crashed a new C6 Z06!!!
He took off after a refuel, and spun the car... flipped over and landed on top against a trailer...
Reported in Dutch news but that is the basic translation

That must be another one, the Dutch crash was 10-29-2005, or 29-10-2005 depending on which side of the pond you're on. Not sure of the date myself but don't think "This afternoon" is correct.

REPLY: Oh man...this is aweful ; is the car okay ?!
Probably not from the looks of it.
This 1st model year 2006 Corvette Z06 like the 2001 1st model yr Z06 might have some problems.
Alot of the car mags have reported that the suspension, etc have a really wierd feel and the car does not communicate what is going on to the driver very well.
Even with Active Handling, etc this might be one dangerous vehicle (even to the experienced driver according to a couple of writers) until GM works out the bugs in this model. Perhaps for the 2007 Z06????
