More Torquey? IDK, LT engines certainly dont have the upper hand, but Torque is definitely something they do have.

i didnt even force her to get it.or even want her to get one. she wanted it by herself.
she was hit in the rear pass 1/4 panel hard by a suburban doing at least 50mph. she spun around 3 times. she heard the lady from the suburban say she didnt even try and hit the brakes to stop.
i think she didnt want to stop on purpose. my girl said she had alot of time to cross, so it seems like the lady had time to ******* stop.
she had an 05 SS impala with the LS4, a scion, and an 01 impala V6. she wanted the camaro badly.
yea shes traumatized right now too. scared to drive it and all.
the car wasnt on insurance yet. only had been 2 hrs since she bought it.
im gonna be replacing the trans, Tq arm, axles with moser axles, and the LCA's.

Was it your girls fault or the woman in the suburban? If it was the suburban woman's fault then I don't think it matters if you have insurance or not expecially after owning the car for two hours. I think that some insurance companies have policies that cover this sort of thing. Maybe I'm wrong?

Maybe you should have brought her to an empty lot and let HER blow it sideways and get a real "feel" for the ride. Nothing like "hands on" learning. Bad deal man. But like someone said....thats what the insurance is for.

+1 on the reason I dont care when a pig makes the news. 95% of the time they had it coming and a lot of the time it is stuff gone wrong that gets covered up b/c he had his hand in the cookie jar with a few cons. I have known good cops, and the good cops admit...A LOT ARENT.
At any rate, I was under the impression she lost control, not a raging **** rammed her, Im sorry about that. Thats a bitch
And yeah, I identify with the not driving, my GF drove me around a few days after my incident.

When I worked for Ford we would not allow a vehicle off the lot in the hands of its new owner until insured as well.

A person's first reaction is to apply brakes, no matter WHAT when something popps out in front of them, had she does so, I would bet $$ that there would be squeeling suburban tires. its just the natural thing, SLAM THE BRAKES!. The fact that there was no braking inplies that it was conscious decision made plenty in advance to hit the camaro.
The GM black-box will tell the tale if any airbags were deployed.

Could she have nailed the brakes, swerved, hit the curb, and come back on track? or were the marks old? You would be stunned to see how fast tire marks dissapear, especially on a well-driven street...

A Suburban at 50 mph without braking would have taken off the back end of that car. The rear window is not even busted.
By your drawing, it looks like the Suburban had the right of way. Without any witnesses stating to the contrary, your woman is screwed.
Chalk it up to why women and senior citizens should not be given driver's licenses and should be forced to use public transportation.
