Ever see a Z06 go up in flames at 130+?

[Boxer12]

I did, and Mid-Ohio this past weekend. The guy kicked in the NOS, went by me on the strait, was rolling about 130 and whooooohooo the entire back end of the car went up in flames. Here is the result...if I can post a pic..It gives a new definition to the term "burnout"....bummer, eh? We couldn't even see the back of the car through the flames! I think he had fire suppression, because the flames went out shortly after we passed by...(he had the presence of mind to pull off the track). PS-I am not sure it was a Z06...

In case anybody wonders, the Viper ended up at the top of the HPDE4 (NASA unlimited) group with 1:38's.

Thats NOT a zo6 but simply a C4 (1992-1996) with 300 hp from the factory and most came with automatic trans.

Running NOS on a road course? Brilliant. It wouldn't have even passed inspection at most clubs.

That's just a disposable C4. No big loss.

Well said Chuck.

No, but I have seen a viper (srt)go up in flames, same result but worse and no nitrous involved. Guy spilled oil (on line no less) from turns 5 all the way to 12 at road atlanta, we were down for two hours.

You sure the Vette was spraying?

Suprised all that camber did not catch the tires on fire too.
