I'm sure he lifted when it stepped out, which is the worst thing to do in an auto as it will up shift and snap back from regaining traction if you're in the middle of correction.

What's funny is that most of those videos were people who either didn't respect the car or didn't know how to drive them. That last one with the Silver Z06, the guy actually knows how to drive. But the other idiots behind the wheel don't know how to drive and they should have NEVER turned off the driver assists like traction control and active handling, which I can easily tell they did.

Just sad. So many people out there that can afford a Corvette but can't afford to learn to drive it.

what a waste of good cars, the only way the blue c5 could have been better is if the dumbass wasnt wearing a seatbelt and it threw him out the drivers window, now that would have been cool. and i still dont know how the white c6 in the last video wrecked.

THat last vid of the white vette was sad to watch. That seems like a true acident, would been alot worse had he had more momentum when hitting that curb.

Speaks to why you do stuff on a track or in track conditions. Look how quickly he had people to assist him after the wreck.

I certainly hope this thread doesn't turn into bashing Vette-guy. I don't relish
seeing anyone's hot-rod get wrecked. We live in an era where cameras are
EVERYWHERE, and I'm glad to have done some of my moronics wayyy back.
We all want more power and **** can happen anytime, anywhere, AND in a
hurry.

It was a bad setup having a curb that close. Almost every auto-x setup I've seen has enough room for run-off.

The highway vids are scary. It used to make me real nervous having cars roll up while I was on my old GSXR.
