When I first saw the news and article I was like "meh" a C7 topping out at two-hunert on the bottle, whats the big deal?

Then I watched the video.

OMG! that was a feat! Not only did the driver go through 100 MPH holding onto the steering wheel with just one pinky finger...
He broke out @ 200 with one hand and a pinky finger!

Truly an impressive display of driver ignorance & stupidity.

Yep. That's why so many super cars end up wrapped around a tree.
These cars invite driver over-confidence until things go sideways.

Drive wisely friends
