Those bullet holes in the side??

It looks like a GT-S though, in which case it really isn't much of a travesty.

What was the purpose of all this though?

 

def not a gtr

 

crazy old.

The story was that the owner used to street race alot, well, until the cops confiscated the car and the court ordered it destroyed.

 

GTR or not, that sucks!

 

man oh man would I have rage inside of me if that was my car.....

 

My eyes are burning! The horror!

 

thats funny

 

i dunno about that... don't they usually take the rims and tires off the car before whoopin ass on it??

 

not really, those things are like accords

 

Meh, its just sheet metal and rubber....

 

thats the 2.5 gt-s isnt it?

yeah.. theyre nothing great at all.. just the skyline body but its just not that great anyways.
but yes i do feel pretty bad for the owner.

 

obviously not

 

on the DL,

There wasnt even an attempt to salvage parts from it. Does anyone know the story behind those pics???

 

yes. cambo already told everyone the story behind the pics.

 

It seems like there's more to that story than what Cambo posted.

 

I know this was posted way back…
I thought the whole “multiple speeding tickets” thing was proven to be

From what I remember this was a pre-production car that was crushed because it wasn’t certified for USA road use after testing.
Sad, but it happens every day.

I saw an article on one Vette website were there are nearly a HUNDRED 2006 Z06’s heading for the crusher in a few weeks.
They’re built by hand on the assembly line to test out the equipment then driven around for several weeks by GM employee’s.
Then it’s CRUSH CITY for them.

And usually the manufacturer has someone at the scrap yard to video/photograph the carnage for insurance purposes.

That’s where these types of photos come from.

 

That's EXACTLY what I was thinking. Thanks Shawn.

 

shawn has got it. I remember these pics from this site years ago, and also from a Nissan site stating the same thing. Also, it seems like there are two differentcars being executed. Look at the lower front bumper of the car in the first 3 pics, and then compare it to the lower front bumper of the pics after that. they are not the same car, hence the story of the street racer is untrue. Besides the car would likely be auctioned off or prepared for police use rather than be destroyed. Myth Busted!
