What I'm told is that the guys in the Chrysler 300 SRT8 were going to film the ZR1 driving pass them, the ZR1 guy nailed it and and lost traction and slid into the path of the SRT8.

Lmao!! It was a Chrysler 300, that would explain the look of horror on the idiot Vette driver's face. He's getting ready to show off and then shows his ass, imagine sitting in that low slung Vette and seeing that Chrysler grille coming at you!

Hmm, I wonder what's missing from this .. It's obviously a chopped bit of the whole video. What's the whole story?

Did you read the video description before you wrote your post? ZR1 hit us in our SRT8 300 while showing off... We got lucky having it on video lol OK, here is how our morning started... We were headed up to Romona to play some paintball. We met up at the driver's house to drop of my car and car pool (thank gawd I didnt drive mine lol). Went to "STARBUCKS' for a coffee for the 30 minute drive. As we left the starbucks we spotted a corvette ZR1 near the Qualcom Stadium. I (the horrible camera man) was excited to see a ZR1. As we were headed down to the I15, we saw the vette behind us. I was immediatly excited that the car was gonna follow us onto the freeway. We decided to get in the carpool lane and let the ZR1 pass us. Thats right, we just want to hear the exhaust and watch him launch. I had my phone ready to watch him pass. Being in front of him, he did not know we had camera or know our intentions. He decided to show off and floor it. We got a little more than what we bargained for. What the camera shows is what I literally saw. We were def not expecting the ZR1 to LOSE control and go right into us. And damnit, I spilled my caramel macchiato, but not denying the jizz part lol Enjoy the video, we are having a blast watching this go viral. So much more to this story, but what would be the fun in sharing the whole thing... Everyone jacking this: You watched it, we lived it Cast: Driver - WTF!? WTF!? R U KIDDING ME!?! Camera man (me) - SILENT SCREAM lol GuyInTheBackseat - Backseat SCREAM ZR1 driver - Good sport about the whole thing *******Posting an aftermath video once we can edit it to where no license plates are showing and music should prolly be included. Walk arounds alone are gay... We will have WRITTEN and a description of how the 45 minutes after went. Including words exchanged and what the ZR1 driver had to say ....******* |

When you pick up the ZR1 at the dealer they tell you that if you turn the traction control off and put it in sport mode you are putting your life in your own hands...

Shoot even with all the computers off in these V6 cars you can lose control, especially an inexperienced driver.
Add another 300 + HP and you get this. |

Haha, check out the aftermath video. The best advertisement for a Clear Bra that I've ever seen. (The ZR1 hit them initially on its bumper but it sustained no scuffing/scratches since it had a clear bra on it.)

Wow, that guy driving the Vette must have felt real stupid after that one. He's lucky it wasn't a worse accident and nobody got hurt.
We've all made stupid mistakes though while driving. While I was driving my Camaro which is in the pic below, I scraped the right front bumper while entering a car wash doing a simple left turn.. You can imagine how idiotic I felt after that one. Still, this Vette owner needs to not do that again and respect the HP..
