Default Cool Broken Rear Pics!
Side covers are broke also. There goes another $400. Check out the dented mufflers! That had to be some force. I posted this on Corvette Forum... thought y'all would like a good laugh as well.

Didn't have a brace on it. Got a lil wheel hop and it blew up. Still thinking about how I'm going to fix it. May go with a C5 rear.

Best of luck to you guys. Does Dte make the upgrades for the C6 cars. I just spent a nice chunk of change for my tranny and rear (RPM) I hope I dont have these probs.

Good luck to you guys.
