Is their a database with these crashed ZL1s to see what the culprit was that led to the accident ?

Nutro · 03-24-2014, 10:43 PM

No Recaros yet.

SS Jett · 03-24-2014, 10:48 PM

People keep crashing these cars and they will go up in value. Man just crazy.

Most certainly rear ended at a stop light by a distracted driver and stoved the car into the one in front of it.
Don't text and drive.

Doesn't surprise me at all unfortunately. These cars have so much power that it is so easy to overdrive the traction at almost anytime. Anyone reading this who hasn't tested their car at the track I would highly recommend it just so you learn where the limit of grip is for these beasts. I tracked mine and spun out once this past weekend ending the lives of countless cones but I'm learning how hard I can push my ZL.

Damn. They can fool you though. Driving normally (aside from the exhaust and the firm feel) the camaros feel docile in traffic. Its when you get on the pedal and/or start maneuvering that you discover that a camaro can be a handful. You always need to keep in mind that the camaro is very powerful and capable of getting away from you at any point when you're not paying attention.

Looks like the recaro's to me

2014CamaroZL1 · 03-25-2014, 02:34 PM

These look more like driving way too fast and outta control,
rather than 600 hp and I floored it.

I swear that I just saw a post where someone bought a white ZL1 like that.
It was previously some company's test mule.
Pfadt or some such.
Sad in any case...

Looks like it but did the side seat airbags pop? Hope the seats aren't bent as well. I'd hate to see how much new seat airbags are and how much to install and fix seats.

How do you know he/she didn't run into the back of somebody and then was hit from behind also?

terry_b · 03-26-2014, 09:34 AM

Makes me wonder how profitable that could possibly be? You spend $10k on the wrecked car... body damage like that means no money from body panels... wheels very well could be ok, but more often than not I'm sure at least one rim gets damaged... Maybe you could pull the engine out and part it out? Seats would definitely sell if they're Recaros...

But would it actually be possible to make money off this car?
