Looks like the guy in the white Vette got a little over eager on the throttle after the guy in the red one passed him. It appears like the white one floors it, takes off, but loses traction and control.

Too much caffeine, testosterone, moxie? Not enough common sense?

I hope the driver in the black Vette got a copy of this for their insurance.
Not so good for the white Vette though.

White Vette should have his checkbook out when he stops....

Lucky he didn't force the other one to lose control...could have been many involved

I don't get why so much over reaction on the steering when this happened. It looks like the driver steered the car in the exact opposite direction that he should have, twice... Basic "driving 101" would have prevented the accident. Sucks for both people involved.

Not a smart move without doubt but also very cheezy for the videographer to post that on youtube No class, Not cool

I'll bet its because he's been driving Corollas and Impalas all his life and finally decided to buy his Corvette after retiring....

(Maybe a Crown Vic in there for good measure)
