[QUOTE="thomas91169, post: 9099968, member: 40530"] holy shit! how the **** did this happen? seriously, the motor CANNOT stay running with the car in gear with no throttle applied and/or the e-brake on. it dies, just as if you were to just dump the clutch in 1st in gear and not add throttle. except that the starter is still trying to start the motor, at max 250rpm. If you think so, next time you are at a light, pull the ebrake up and ease out on the clutch with no throttle, youll kill the motor. then again, the starter has quite a bit of torque, so id imagine that corvette kept trying to dryhump those trailers and did said damage. Im sorry, but its not like the vette started up, hit WOT in 1st and careened into those rigs at 10-20mph. even if you start the car, and get it in 1st and coast down with no throttle input and just idle-coast in 1st you are only going 5mph at best at 800rpm. then again, we are talking about glass and a-pillar damage on a convertible, the weakest part of the car. Those pics look about right for a slow speed collision in a very vulnerable part. [/QUOTE]
