Uh-oh, I guess because this ONE Z06 caught fire, they all will! I guess they should have bought something else, because most non-American supercars are infallible!

OMG ALL AMERICAN CARS CATCH FIRE!!!1 ALL AMERICAN CARS R T3H SUKC!!!!1!11!1

Well, to tell you the truth this isn't the first time I've heard of a car being set on fire after an exhaust install. Where my parents life, a Midas shop burned down because a car had a fuel leak which they didn't know about. I think the dealer will be giving him a free car at this point.

The douche that put that exhaust on will be looking for a new job...

Safety tips:

If you have a tire or brake on fire - DO NOT STOP MOVING! Truckers face this problem all the time and they are trained to keep the rig moving so the heat is drafted away from any other combustables - eventually it will run out of fuel and burn itself out. If you stop the fire spreads very quickly.

If the fire is in the engine bay, don't lift the hood all the way, this allow the fire to draw air from under the car and exhaust gases and smoke out the open hood. Keeping the hood down is like putting an inverted glass over a candle. If you must fight the fire, attack it through the grill if you can, if not open the hood just enough to insert the hose from the extinguisher.

Nice try.

That's a high-speed crash.

BlaRo · November 2nd, 2006, 7:24 AM

Haha, it's still burnt, though. What are you trying to prove, anyway?

watto · November 2nd, 2006, 8:05 AM

Ouch. It looks so nice in red too.

I'd be kicking the guy who installed that exhaust in the gonads.. and then some images/smilies/sad.gif

I'm not trying to prove anything.

Just the American quality, which is not as good as Italian's.

Corvette first had the flying roof issue, and now this. And I can't really blame the exhausts as the guy has mentioned.
