Had to watch it a few times. On the various reports the guy said the c5 was losing traction before the race.Again a time and place for such things, don't be a turkey and do it in a residential neighborhood !!

On every newer Vette I've driven, there is a way to disable traction control, but leave stability control on... In my buddies Z06, doing this would allow you to not lose acceleration to a loss of traction, yet at the same time, it would keep the car pointed in the direction you pointed it...
