apparently there are people that reported the Z06’s catching on fire… not sure about that though… I never looked into it.

Either way it sucks, especially when the guy paid 90,000USD for it… which is at least 20k above the MSRP.

I think it was probably an installation error that made hot exhaust piping touch and ignite something… but yet again… everyones entitled to their own opinion
