Vette z06

my buddy said this guy was kicked off after one run for not having a cage....
I thought Chevy offered that as an option

I've seen that clip a month ago.. it's really nice. I love the color too Now you make me want to trade my 2003 in for the new one.

*on a side note*
He should not have been kicked off the track for not having a cage. A cage is needed when a vehicle is doing less than 10 seconds or at 10 seconds.

11.7 seconds does not require a cage

"A roll bar is required in any convertible running 13.99 seconds or quicker
in the quarter mile, and in other cars beginning at 11.99." nhra.com

there might be confusion over the Corvette, as the standard (non-Z06) has a removable roof panel. This could be considered a "convertible" or risk should the car flip or roll.

The new Z06 (as most probably know) has a fixed roof panel.

that is correct of what The Turbonator said. The 2006 zo6 is so sexy..... when I bought the 2003, I thought the vette couldn't get any sexier until 2005 model came out

I love that thing. Possibly my next car if I get a job in southern state few years down the road. I was going to get cobra but then shelby cobra concept didn't look good to me.
