The video is funny, but listen at ~1:38 through. You may want to have a towel handy. :drool:

The roof was coming off anyway, so it was safer to just tear it off than let it fly off into another car.

Full explanation from owner with one of the most ballin' C6 Z06 pics I've seen...


Hahaha....I love these threads. I'm going to just copy and paste my reply from other threads. I must say you guys didn't go that hard on me. Normally lots of curses and saying what a piece of sh!t I am 'cause of this video. It wasn't a rally either...just some friends. Never the less I couldn't let some POS murcielago beat me now could I?

"Roof started to come off. Brought it to the dealer. They tried the gm repair which was a bottle of foam I sh!t you not. Dealer said that wasn't cutting it. They had to order a new roof and said it was going to be a long while. In the process of trying the foam repair they removed the headliner and several other interior pieces. (love how many of you thought i kicked right though an unmolested roof) I told the dealer I'm not having the car sit here for months. They taped the top panel on and gave it back to me. The headliner and everything else I put in my garage. Well the tape didn't hold all that well so I put a piece on the outside as it would help better...and it did. Then I went on my usual weekend run of excessive speeds and the roof started to come off. In fact the roof was already starting to tear away around 80...so 180 wasn't going to happen. The tape got soo messed up we had to hold it down with our hands as slow as 40. Now realize in the first place the passenger side of the roof was the issue...the drivers side was fine. There was no other option than removing completely the panel before it flew off and killed someone.

If you were in the same situation as me you would have done the same thing. If you're saying otherwise you're either a liar or a pussy.

As far as GM is concerned I obviously didn't release the video until after the car was all fixed. So I sat on this awesome video for 2 months...yeah that's how long it took to get the new roof in. So now I have yet another great video (ford GT race was also me), a fixed 2nd gen roof, free oil changes for life, had a targa Z06 for the summer, an extended bumper to bumper warranty till 2011 or 87k miles, and a fat check for dealing with the problem.

any questions?"

These pix are from after I "abused" my car. I'd say all came out well.
