I don't understand this statement....oh well, whatever.

I just don't see the logic behind getting something like a z06 and throwing nitrous on it. On top of that, they obviously did a pretty poor job of it, considering I hardly ever see cars burning to the ground because of nitrous.

Regardless of what you own, there will always be an owner or tuner trying like to go faster. I'm assuming it was a wet nitrous setup.

If you're using a wet nitrous setup on port fuel injection motors, you're asking for trouble. Modern EFI manifolds were designed to be a dry manifold. The second you start spraying fuel into them you are just begging for the fuel to puddle and to have a fire. Not to mention the LS7 motor having a plastic intake.

While a nitrous backfire is a BIG deal, it usually doesn't result in the total loss of a vehicle. I imagine the plastic composite intake probably blew apart, causing fuel to spray everywhere.

My point exactly. Anyone willing to put $80k for a car like that could have taken some time to research this kind of stuff, instead of just throwing wet nitrous on a fule injected car with a plastic manifold.

Nothing like going big on a car, then going stupid and cheap on the mods. :thumbdown:
