1. Glad to hear your both OK
2. Bad to hear the Z is dead
2. Looking forward to hear what was going on in the car that made you drive straight into a guardrail

1. Thank you very much, me too
2. I was totally LooAking forward to seeing the estimate .... Or if they total it..........
3. As much as I would like to say I was in the middle of the perfect BJ, unfortunately I just hydroplaned and pulled a 90 into the guardrail.

Thanks everyone for their good wishes (except DRTYFN)!!! I will keep you posted and send pics when I go take a look at it in the tow yard tomorrow....

100 yards(light to light) any vette vs my Jeep(no typo i said jeep) Sign the pink now. Any further than that and she gets a little hard to handle(just like a wife)

Well, what did you expect from me for killing a Z06 - A pat on the back??? You must have been f*cking around or not paying attention. You've wrecked two vehicles in a very short span of time. You need a good swift kick in the nuts.

I didn't wreck the H2, I was having problems with the tranny. I thought a know it all like you who lives on this forum would pay better attencion.

On the site porsche shows their times in stick and about .2 seconds slower than they really are becuase hte average driver cant shift as fast as a test driver. And if you get the auto tranny with the overboost it does 3.2, yes porsches auto/tiptronic is faster than manual, weve had it clocked on our turbo and weve done 3.3 without the boost so i have no doubt whatsoever that with wait and perfect weather it would have done the 3.2 as for the 2.9 ive read it many places and say its possible with the boost it gives you an extra 2.9 psi boost and they say it iwll drop it down to 2.9 seconds. as for the lap im sure the corvette would run it faster its got a more powerful engine. but the Turbo is 4 wheel drive and handles like no other on the street.

0-60 times are useless now a days..... 1/4 mile trap speed will give you some honest info about what kind of power a car is making. Once you get to the point where traction becomes a serious issue a 0-60 measurement doesnt mean $hit in terms of overall performance,1/4mile, top speed or lap times.

Strange, every piece of data I've found on the car shows nothing near what you claim. I guess top gear, road and track, and car and driver all must have done biased tests on the car so the average driver wouldn't feel so butt hurt when they couldn't match the times. 3.4 is the fastest time I managed to find....a half a second slower than your claim. GM under respresents the Z06 also, it's actually capable of sub 2 second 0-60 times, at least that's what I heard...so it must be true
