Speaking of the 427 Z06, it is just a matter of time before we read a similar story about one of those brutes being driven wrecklessly or without undue respect for it's power.

GRB, there were pictures of a totalled C6 ZO6 on the Net about a week and half ago... upside down and jammed under the back of a semi trailer.

So it's already happening.

I've got a bad feeling that these 3,100 lb., 500HP monsters are going to be the beginning of the end of high powered street cars.

Tums won't stop an idiot from killing himself or even worse; taking innocent people with him. If I were GM I would seriously consider liability waivers and/or high performance driving school. There are a lot of blood thirsty lawyers out there.

Can't sue the gun manufacturers for individuals by their own free will using a gun to kill another person, can't sue the fast food resturaunts for sloth over in the corner throwing Quarter pounders down his throat like they were tic tacs and ending up dying of blocked arteries, can't bleed anymore money from the tobacco companies for people continuing to "Light-Up-to-Lung Cancer", and it looks like we've milked this asbestos thing for all we can... who can we sue next?
Pretty soon there will be no one left except the lawyers ... can't wait to see them turn on one another!!!
It will be like a drug bust with a bunch of teenagers...
IT was him...no it was him... they are the ...BLAH BLAH BLAH

------These accidents with noteworthy cars are just hitting the internet more quickly. What about the old (young) man (woman) who buys a new (insert your own choice here) car and totals it on the way home from the dealership??? It probably happens often enough but doesnt get any ink. It seems as though the earth is falling but its just the availability of info and what people find interesting. However, the driving school comment does have great merit. Isnt it Porsche that offers high speed track education for thier new owners at a reduced rate???.......Bill S

Apparently a young dutch journalist launched it too hard pulling out of a gas station... Ended up with the car on its back under a trailer.
