Thats a sad,sad, day I know how it feels to hit a tree. At least he didnt hit it head on like me. Word of advice,dont pick fights with trees,you will lose! I feel for the vette driver.

Looks to me like the Vette needs a Driver Mod. Ya see him twitching hard trying to set up the corners? Ya gotta be smoother than that. The road was WAY too tight for rat racing. He's lucky there wasn't a Logging truck just around a bend.

Something remotely similar happened to me in my 95 TA (not near as bad) cost about 2K to fix (nailed it coming out of a corner and it downshifted and I overcompensated and spun into a golf course, only hit the fence, but with a glass car, it still messes stuff up. I WILL NEVER OWN A VERT!!!!! If i had a vert w/the top down me and my now X gf would both have been DOA, 2 strands of barbed wire rode over the entire car, from hood to spoiler and SHREDDED the paint, if i had a vert w/top down, it would have snapped down at neck level right after the windshield. you get the picture...

I like vettes, but that guy got exactly what he deserved driving like that on a tight, twisty two lane road with obviously traffic all around. Moron.

that guy was an idiot, first off that road is narrow as hell and theres quite a bit of traffic, if he wanted to rage it he should of got out there at the right time of day when now one is around and like charliecobra3 said he is way to jerky steering it and on top of everything else hes hardly raging!! to wipe out going that slow...has to feel good, moron is right.
