Some random quote explaining it:
Quote:
The following is NSFW due to the language.
Hey guys. A good friend of mine who owns a Chrysler 300 SRT-8 was recently in a small wreck last week by a ZR1 Vette. The videos only a few seconds long and the screaming and yelling probably don't make it worth it to watch- but I thought I'd be doing a few of you a small injustice not to at least bring it up, if anything to laugh at him.
The story goes that around Friars road at 8 in the morning- they made a quick stop at Starbucks before they made their way out east. There were four of them in the SRT-8 heading out to a paint-ball range and while pulling out of the parking lot noticed the guy getting in the ZR1 and were probably eye-humping the hell out of his car. While getting onto the long on ramp to the 15, the driver of the SRT8 drove up to 30 mph and leveled the speed out while the guy in the passenger seat began rolling film to catch the awesomeness of this 124,000 dollar car drive by- they kinda figured the guy was going to show off by blowing past them onto the freeway, and they were right. The SRT8 had no intention of racing the Vette although the random comments on youtube say otherwise- you won't even hear the SRT8 rev up. The driver (who I know personally) owns a Mark IV Supra and is more of a car enthusiast than anything else.
When asked by police what the driver of the Vette does for a living- he avoids the question about 5 times before saying he works as a "Lock-smith" and lives on Coronado Island (A very expensive place to live). The driver walked away saying"I don't even want the car anymore."
Anyways- enjoy. My friends got other photos of both of the cars and their damage- and when he decides to post them up I'll update the thread.

That sucks, nice Z06, bet the Insurance will be high now!
Sigh...^^^
what a waste
I keep trying to figure out how he screwed up.......and I still have no idea. Dude wasnt even on it hard. It's like he just purposely turned into him -.-
I've seen other video's of ZR1's loosing control at pretty decent speeds. Its honestly too much power for those street tires, especially with amateurs behind the wheel.
Although it does look like he just lost control, I call b.s. that the SRT was completely innocent. I can write up a totally innocent story to make myself look like the victim too...
... and back to your regularly scheduled Corvette Fail:
Yikes.
Loads of fail. Too many stupid people with cars out of their controllable power range. It is sad that so many nice cars die at the hands of these people but the people live on to buy and wreck more cars till they kill someone else. Even then they don't do jail time cause they buy their way out of it and might end up at a country club type jail for killing someone!
Ok rant over.
