What happens when the 1000HP tow vehicle breaks and you have a brand new supercharged jet ski that is begging to be tossed in the water?

Do you make the 900HP Z06 the tow vehicle?























Well if you're Crazy Andy, you do!

The cross beam is aluminum for sure. He's TIG welding that and you can't weld aluminum to steel.

That is classic! Doug was telling me back in the day they towed his race car with a big block 1969. 12 hour trips and all. One should build a truck box for hauling firewood.
