It took only EIGHT minutes for someone to claim the badge 🤯 What should we give away next video? A cut up panel Goonzquad style? Something broken in the wreck? Comment your ideas 👇

@bretjjjohnson7942 Год назад

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 just anything other than. Thin gauge sheet metal. That's been cut up into small squares. Cause you know, that sounds like a great idea. I wonder if anybodys kid has cut the f**k out of themselves yet???????

After watching endless episodes of Gas Monkey Garage and West Coast Customs build some fancy shit it's nice to see videos like this. Whatever hit that Vette wasn't playin', I've never seen a transmission tunnel twisted like that!

Im guessing it was parked to close to a corner, a trash truck came, turned and its back smashed the car.

Great tear down but I would have worn a mask with all that fiberglass dust flying with the sawzal cutting!

@tittyrino Год назад

Without a second thought. We only have 2 lungs, and a mask is much cheaper than being 50 on an iron lung machine. I am 54 and started bodywork and painting vehicles at 9 years old. I always had a mask on....

@jackpalczynski7884 Год назад

Very fun looking. I used to have a roadrace car and would get cars for free or near free and use the parts on the racecar then part out and scrap. Always found it fun work. I was a single guy operation, so metal was cut to a size I could lift and carry to my trailer. It was interesting to see scrap steel prices over the year. One trip and I could buy myself a large dunkin coffee and a muffin. Next time, I've got enough for 3 tanks of gas. I see you traded the S2000 for a Vette. I did a smaller level version and once needed some discontinued hasport swap mounts. I traded 4 boxes of parts with a guy across the country for them. He sent pickup tags and UPS came up the driveway.

I LOLed my ass off when I saw this, and cried a little, because at first I thought it was MY C6. Short story, I got side-swiped on I65 (right past the turn off to the Vette museum i might add) and did a 180 and hit the rock wall on the side of the highway rear end first at 70 mph. The diff came up though the rear floor, and sorry ruined the radio with the bell housing driving the floor into the dash. My wife and I had no injuries, not even scratches! Impact twisted the rear end to a 30 degree off set from left to right. The real laugh was I started it up and DROVE it onto the flatbed, because he couldn't get under it. Oh yeah, the side swipe de-skinned the passenger door and rear passenger fender. Then it went to Copart. sigh.

A respirator would go a long way to keep you breathing. The long range damage might not show up now but breathing in all that fiberglass dust will surely show up when you are older.

Is that C-6 a "screwed and glued" model like the C-5 ? If so , cosmetically that damage isn't as bad as it looks. OFC the frame looks screwed , so it would be a BAD job, regardless. I am also assuming that this model used a hydroforrmed frame.... Thx for the upload, good job !

That's a T56 Magnum transmission that's used in the Hellcats and Demons. It's rated at 1,200HP. I didn't know Corvettes used them, but I knew Mustangs Cobra R and 4th gen Camaros do.

@RileyNewcomb Год назад

The T56 was definitely used for all sorts of cars, Vipers, Mustangs, Corvettes, Ram trucks, but not the Demon, those are dual/multiclutch, the T56 is a 6 speed Manual, I’m sure they swap them in but I don’t think they come with them, maybe an updated version in the older hellcats that were manual
