Run Forest run!

 

LOL ISEEDIPP,

 

Where do these people come from? Have you ever taken a physics class before?



DEE DEEE DEEEEEEE

 

ap physics ftw! F=M x G that means when your melon head smacks the pavement you get a brain puddle.

 

Clean-up... Isle 4

 

This is not a stupid topic That was a very ignorant response


What about when the top is still on and the car flips over... theres no hard top to protect your head so im thinking that a person's head is potentially able to get there head smashed onto the concrete even when wearing a seatbelt

 

Unless your head is taller then the front window its not going to scrape on the concrete if your car flips over...

 

YO YO YO!

 

[QUOTE=Adibese]Just a question... whose job would it be to clean up the splattered remnants of a flipped convertible driver? Would they leave the brain matter for the raccons to eat up, or would a Mexican get paid to properly dispose of the human road meat?

Why would a Mexican clean it up? I hate racist as*holes

The Z has so much downforce, if the car flips over it will actually FLY.

 

Ah damn the cold hard truth...

I thought most convertible owners don't wear seatbelts because it gives them a chance to jump out in case the car starts rolling.

Like ejecting out of an F-14 Top Gun style.
9/10 times it won't work, but man do you get street credit for it.

 

I don't wear my seatbelt because I am afraid of choking myself to death in the event I flip!

 

[QUOTE=619Z]
I'm not racist... far from it... but it's just a fact that Mexicans are the only ones "ambitious" enough to do it. Crackers won't do it unless there's a whack load of money available... and Blacks don't seem to want to do anything anymore, other than complain about Whitey or the Mexicans.

I kid... I kid...

"Tell me... are you a Mexi-Can...or a Mexi-Can't?"

 

Flying FTW

Depends on if you have your seatbelt on. If the answer is no, they will find your head about 300 yards from the car and 150 yards from the rest of your body. If you roll your car in either a hardtop or convert, you should not be driving the car in the first place. You really would have to driving recklessly to do that. If you drive under control, there is nothing to worry about.

 

Obviously you are generally safer in a rollover in a Z coupe than a Z convertible. To put things in perspective.... I _suspect_ that the rollover rate/ year for Zs is fairly low compared to say a mid sized truck based SUV and much lower than some fully loaded 12 passenger vans. So if you had the numbers and could calculate rollover rate/year * %mortality/rollover I suspect the annual overall death rate for ZR _rollover_ is about the same, maybe lower, than many mid sized truck based SUVs.

Happily, the ZR has two small roll bars behind the occupants that may provide some protection. The windshield will give some modicum of protection also. But overall I would say the overall protection is minimal. If you strike your head on the pavement the result is not a very pretty thing to see at all, and usually fatal at any type of speed. A full racing roll _cage_ and helmet combination is a different matter, but I have not seen a passenger friendly roll cage installed in a street ZR.

I have autocrossed my ZR, but I borrowed a helmet. I have hit my helmeted head on the pavement once when I left my motorcycle to examine the road conditions up close and personal.

As for pop up roll bars, yup, I had one in my last roadster, but they are uncommon.
