What you say is exactly the truth.

Don't blame the car, blame the driver . You can't make up for inexperience regardless of the car.

What an idiot, I actually once saw a corvette crashing and totally another car due to a similar launch. Those cars do not like launching from a dig.

It just has a lot of power. Has nothing to do with the car, it has everything to do with the driver.

The vette just looked like an idiot..reminds me of that other video where 2 vettes take off and crash a short way up the road..

Thanks for reposting this! I remember seeing this just before I moved to the area, and I've driven this intersection about 100x since I moved here. Very close to my house.

No problem believing that some of the idiots around here do this. Unfortunately, some of it has ended tragically since I've been here....like the 17 year old who decided to pass someone on a 45 MPH road going in excess of 80....and subsequently flipped the car and died.

Street is no place for racing my friends.

Regardless of car make/model, it still needs driver input to execute any sort of maneuver, to my knowledge. Corvettes are cool. M3s are cool. Drivers of each can be dick bags.
