Default Re: 2008 Z06 Burnout

[ QUOTE ]
Doing a mean burnout is one thing. Purposely blowing out your tires and ripping up a quarter panel on a brand new car is another. Even if money is no object, I can't condone that IMO.

I think people are missing the point. It appears that the gentleman doing the burnout is the Plant Manager at the Bowling Green, KY Corvette assembly plant. The car is a pre-production prototype that can't be legally sold anyway. It's a test mule... a prototype... part of one of the pre-launch builds to evaluate components.

Pre-launch vehicles are typically used for testing and evaluation, and then eventually torn down and scrapped. Therefore, I see no harm in what he did. As the plant manager, I'm sure he has the access and right to do what he did to a car that would be scrapped anyway.

You've gotta admit, he put on a helluva show!
