WHAT HAS THE CLUB BEEN UP TO?
For the past few months, the Corvette Club of NEPA collected items to donate
to the SPCA of Luzerne County and the Humane Society of Lackawanna
County. On Saturday, May 22, 2010, all of the items collected were divided
up and delivered to both locations. The items were asked for on the Wish
Lists of both organizations, everything from food and toys to office sup-
plies. The donations were greatly appreciated and CCNEPA plans on partici-
pating in future fundraisers to help the animals that cannot help themselves.
Pictured is Amy Zaretski (from our Charity Committee) with the items do-
nated this year. THANK YOU CLUB MEMBERS!!
IN THE NEWS It's not just Dodge Vipers and SRT-10s getting wrecked by mother nature.
Feast your eyes on this mud-caked Corvette ZR1 absolutely destroyed by a
twister. Why does mother nature hate American sports cars?
There's nothing sadder for us than seeing a totaled piece of supercardom, es-
pecially one as fast and accessible as the Corvette ZR1. This car was caught
up in a recent Texas tornado and reduced the $120,000 beast to a $19,600
salvage title asking price. The auction listing at Copart.com (now removed) described the damage as "ALL OVER," which seems about right.
Estimated repair price is over $74,000 and the extent of the damage means
the car will never be quite right again, which leads us to the silver lining be-
hind this cloud: the 638 HP, 6.2-liter supercharged LS9 V8 appears to be un-
injured. Given the construction of the Corvette's rear subframe, it's a good
possibility the entire driveline is okay to the differential. There are at least
three perfectly good carbon ceramic brake corners. This means the car has the
potential to be the greatest donor vehicle ever.
