Two Turkeys on Thanksgiving Wrecking their Corvettes in The Woodlands (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzlg3oQMze4#)
[coffee]
What the hell was the guy in the right doing that he cocked it up so badly? He look over and start to turn in and over correct? Doesn't seem to be a loss of control that starts that...
Chlorine in the gene pool.
dumb can be expensive
WTF, where the rest of the video?? You know there was at least another minute or two of mayhem to follow after driving two vettes off road..

indeed...the best part of that video was probably the aftermath
Brilliant!
+1 would read again
There's been a lot of attention on this one. Some follow up on the local news
NEWS COVERAGE from FOX26 of Two Turkeys On Thanksgiving Wrecking their Corvettes - Corvette Crash (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhwgF7ys-RU#)
It also made Autoblog, jalopnik and more
"Racing is difficult to prove"
No your honor, we weren't racing, our foots just happened to slip and get stuck between the dash and the floor at the same time. Obviously, your honor, this is what happened, as we are stupid enough to let this happen, and stupid enough to lose control going into 2nd gear.....
Everything's bigger in Texas. Including their make the beast with two backsups. [thumbsup]

Sucks to be the guy who published the video. There are a couple of pissed off Vette drivers that will be looking for him.
All he's got to do is get through second gear without losing the back end and he's safe from at least one of them.
1:23 Third tier news market idea of a good camera angle. [clap]
Oh come on that's a great shot!

Posting the video is one thing, trying to pass yourself off as an expert on fast cars is another. IMHO he really should've declined to be interviewed by the local news.

Their geometry is only good for straight lines, assuming you never break traction. Too long and thin and light on the backend. If you watch all the videos, it's all the same. The back end breaks loose, and there is no recovering from it once it starts.

Seen quite a few vettes lose the rear. In PR the guy passed me on the highway simply to crash about 1/4 mile ahead of me. It was epic.
Old Coworker just crashed his C5 in TX. I wonder if this is how it went down too?! [laugh]
Ah yes, the old burned clutch burn out... a classic
First post in months for me. This video is worth it.
Need to have sound to experience it.
