I always wondered about how you got in and out of those cars with no power.

That sucks. Doesn't sound like the best engineering went into that car. No handle, kinda important.

*Mindz* · 03-05-2010, 05:32 AM

There's a handle on the floor.

RocketCutlass · 03-05-2010, 05:59 AM

Yeah one on the floor to get out and one in the rear drivers wheel well inside the hatch.

Even the "archaic leaf springs" are full of hi-tech engineering.

I wouldn't mind being trapped in a C6

Z06 please - well, mine as well go for the ZR1 at that point!

i got trapped in one at the annual auto show here a few years ago! the window was down and i was about to climb out through it from being claustrophobic! it doesnt bother me to sit in a small enclosed car.....as long as i can get out!

but if he was in the car that long, why didnt he pull out the owners manual and figure it out?

I never understood why "Hi-Tech" automatically equates to better.

I will take the pushrod 7.0 liter over a 2.0 Tubro DOHC MiVEC engine. Sure the "technology" might favor the Evo's engine. But the performance numbers and track times strongly favor the LS7.

It's not like the LS7 engine is the laughing stock of engine builders. I am fairly certain the Z06 earns respect for its performance.

The LS7 is very high-tech, as well....
