Among all the things you might expect to come across while sitting in Chicago traffic, a wrecked pre-production Corvette Z06 on a flatbed probably isn't one of them. Yet here it was, captured and uploaded to YouTube, as such things are:
And it's not just any old pre-pro Z06, either. This wasn't a crash-test car—not in the traditional sense, at least. Regular R&T readers have seen it before. We confirmed with GM that it's this car, the one GM had running full-tilt at the Nurburgring:
It wound up having an unfriendly encounter with the wall, and eventually made its way back to the states. So why Chicago and not Detroit? GM ships cars internationally through O'Hare. In this case, it was followed by a final ride ignominiously strapped to the back of a flatbed. I guess we'll have to wait a little longer for that (assuredly quick) Z06 'Ring time.
