I'll bet some money he didn't even have full traction from the start.

so when you record a video in portrait, you only get half the grip since we only get to see half the image. Im pretty sure thats how it works

Next year we will be calling the base Corvette a Supercar and the Z06 a Hypercar.

These type of spin outs seem to be the cause of 90% of supercar crashes. And they are often at these low speeds. If you don't understand how 500+ HP to the rear wheels works, then don't drive it.

Gotta love the temporary plate too...anybody taking the over/under on 24 hours of ownership at the time of the crash? I'll go under.

And, of course, vertical video is almost as much fail as his driving.

This is another example of the all powerful showing his distaste for Vettes.

The swallowing them up in a sink hole was more fun, but this is ok for a Wednesday.

^ GM now has an open to the public road course right next to the Corvette factory in Bowling Green KY. I swear they should make it mandatory for you to attend a weekend class so you know how to drive that 650hp missile.

I used to have an LS1 Z28 Camaro, that car had huge tires and 300 less horsepower, I could still spin the tires on a 2-3 shift. I can't even imagine what that Vette would be like with the traction control off.

That's a shame. Almost saw this happen right in front of me today. A 5.0 Mustang was trying to show off in front of me cruising and he lost traction each time he shifted. Rookies smh.
