dsommer Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Ouch, hope nobody was injured. Back tire lookin' kind of bald. Guess we need to pass the plate for a new light pole? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris556452 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Man, thats terrible, I hope everyone is alright. Where on 410 was that? -Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilC Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Hey Mike...hope everyone was ok in that car! Hopefully they can get the car back and swap everything over to a new Z. Like dsommer said, tires look bald. Did the driver get the car lite coming over the hill and lose control? Looks like it based on the skid marks.

Like dsommer said, tires look bald. Did the driver get the car lite coming over the hill and lose control? Looks like it based on the skid marks. It was very sad to have this happen to the owner. He bought my old 550RWHP 416, and only got to drive it for 30 minutes before the wreck. He was use to the old ls1 at 440RWHP but the 416 was just too much for the small tires. This is Joey's (LS1Z) old car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckolander Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 That's horrible, the responsible party should be drawn and quartered, or tarred and feathered. Sarcasm aside, that looks horrible, and I hope that everyone was ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoov100 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 for hitting a light pole at probably 60MPH that car looks in pretty good shape seeing as the driver probably walked away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janaka Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Ouch. How much of the drivetrain is salvagable? Glad to see that everyone was ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LowCarbZ Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Yeah those tires look like they've suffered a few too many burnouts. Hope everyone is ok, cars can be replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rturbo 930 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Mike I thought the car was bought a few months back?Yep, I thought so too, I think by a guy with the username "FantaZ" Glad everyone is ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoNkEyT88 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Maybe by 30 min he means that the LS3 was just swapped in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilC Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Maybe by 30 min he means that the LS3 was just swapped in. Exactly....I just thought about it. He bought it with the LS1 then had the LS3 swapped in and crashed it. Damn....well cars can be replaced as stated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m1noel Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Ouch! Looks like the drive train and most suspension parts would probably be ok though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mas28O Posted March 10, 2009 Author Share Posted March 10, 2009 He bought the car last year, the old motor went out so he bought my 416. He only had 30 minutes of run time with the ls3 416. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 That stinks, I was hoping to meet the owner and see the car, I was hyped to have another nice hybrid in the SA area. is he going to rebuild or part it out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
