There were some pics on CF that showed a Z06 towing a mini-track excavator, and the car and trailer looked just like the one on the video, but the pics are down.

I think it's pretty nifty, convenient way to carry all the slicks.

I've seen lots of Corvettes towing a small trailer with track rims and tires on it. I don't see the big deal.

Actually, no! He was driving a TT 57mm Saleen with a VT shortblock. 550 rwhp and 600 ft lbs of tq with stock heads and cams. Highly doubtful he was going to get outrun. However, he was the only person in the car and tried taping it himself as he drove on a busy highway. I believe it was worth the shot.

For all those who find this sort of thing common, we never see it here. Im in Texas where everyone and their sister has a truck or a friend with one. I personally have never seen anything like this and thought it was hilarious.

Not to be a jackass... but read the last paragraph in the post just before yours and you will know why I posted this and was so surprised.
