I asked the insurance chicy today...she said, claims would send a more "seasoned" claims investigator to do the inspection. "Corvette fire" does grab attention. Most policies have abuse disclaimers in them these days. But she said more likely than not, they would actually cover it. If the bottle and line was dead obvious and everything indicated the nitrous was on then they would deny it. If it was turned off, different insurance companies would probably handle it differently.

I called up my insurance too and they said the same. According to my insurance it's usually to hard to prove without any doubt that nitrous was the sole reason for the fire and therefore would cover it.

Hopefully it was already taken care of before this buddy of his posted this on the internet explaining how it happened. That'd be shitty if the ins. company found it somehow. Unlikely, but anything's possible now a days. Thats a bummer to see though. And I doubt a fire extinguisher would've done much. On that page it was sayin his brakes were gone right away, so the whole time he coasted from "a high rate of speed" there was an extremely hot underhood fire laying waste to everything. He didn't have a chance to do a thing. All the wires, hoses, intake, everything would've just been wasted quick.
Thats really a sad thing to see.
