Loud Pedal Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 It goes without saying that the entire crew at LPM is crushed over this. We ran the car for almost an hour on the dyno to shake everything out and tune it. While we don't know exactly what happened yet, I suspect Joe has it right. The car is coming in this morning and we'll take it from there. Try not to worry too much, Victor. We'll get it straightened out quickly. I'm just very glad nobody got hurt. If you're looking for me, I'm the guy with my head in the oven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does not look to bad and no one got hurt so it will be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're looking for me, I'm the guy with my head in the oven. If it was due to a LPM issue I wouldn't blame you. It's due to the old Aeromotive brackets that I bet would have worked if LPM designed them. I went out and checked my Aeromotive rails because there's a lot riding on those pieces. I'm sure it'll look very pretty in no time. The more I look at the picture the less damage I actually see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See you guys later this morning....waiting for flatbed now. I also learned a valuable lesson in this.....make sure your passenger is familiar with how to operate the door release. This is the first time Jessica has ever seen my car, let alone ride in a C6. When the fire broke out, I told her to get out of the vehicle but she didn't know to push the button to open the door. Simple shit, but a detail that could turn tragic when every second counts in an emergency. I'll also look into carrying a small fire extenguisher for now on. Thanks, guys, for the well wishes.

Victor, so glad you and Jessica made it out OK. For the first two years after the build on my car was complete I carried a small fire extenguisher, at the suggestion of Kim Madsen. Since I've never had a problem with fire I quit carrying it for the last 6 or 7 months. I think I'll put it back in the car now! Hope all ends well for you.

Bromley's Corvettes Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I carry two 2.5lb in the back of my Pro Steet vette.

FNBADAZ06 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I'm lucky I have a vented hood.....the percussion from the explosion was partially vented thru the hood vent. If it wasn't there it may have blown the hood clean off the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourseventeen Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 it actually exploded!? Holy smokes! Glad your alright brother! Shit could have gone way worse! So if you didnt have an extinguisher who did? Looks like you got it out pretty quick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desertdawg Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I also learned a valuable lesson in this.....make sure your passenger is familiar with how to operate the door release. Lesson #2: Might be smart to also remember the manual release incase of electrical failure... ask Jammye why she wishes she knew this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
