...I saw alot of wrecks posted with the LS1 4th Gen Camaro's, but they pale in comparison to the amount of physical damage sustained in the ZL1 wrecks posted.

It makes you wonder how many are still actually on the road. I wouldn't be surprised if 10+ ZL1's are totaled a month.

...good question Taser. I have seen many wrecks on The Job....and since that time having owned a 2002 35th SS and seeing those cars being sold off as total loses, the ZL1 hits are catastrophic and beyond comprehension. We understand the underlying cause. In the end, it's still sad.

Wrecks are never good. Hope there were no injuries...
So what wheels are on that ZL1? Rob

I have been keeping track of these numerous accidents. It seems numerous for the +/- 9000 zl1s produced. Is it as frequent for the gt500s. Should gm or dealerships offer some form of road course or a dvd on driving techniques and dangers to all new zl1 buyers ?

Don't really know what to tell you except people shouldn't be retarded. The only time I nearly actually lost it in my car was completely me acting like a fool. So if someone wants to see what the car can do, go find a track and do it in a more controlled environment.

Being retarded has nothing to do with driving. Why do people have to use that to decribe being foolish?
