Notice the poor guy in the Vette nearly got squeezed into the guardrail?

squeezed for sure. 458 realized he was about to be over-run.

Did the Ferrari guy say, "I forgot to shift?" Did he? Wow!

Judging by the way the Vette went around him, I got the feeling he was pretty pissed off.

The guy may not have seen him.

I know one thing...there is no frickin' way I would risk putting a scratch on my 458!

If he didn't see that, he should not drive... Corvette was right with him on the inside, he squeezed him..... not good.

I would say it is probably more likely that the driver wanted to get as far away from the crazy Ferrari driver as quickly as possible. I know that when I am around someone who is driving erratically, I get away as quickly as safely possible.

I think the Ferrari probably thought he had dispatched a normal Vette and got in front of him to show him he was king. However, it was a Z06 and the speed surprised him.

Saw that a few days ago.

Funny how the nose of that Z06 doesn't dive on upshifts...

First wrecked Z06 thanks to the driver in the Z06.
No one else is responsible for his actions other than the one behind the wheel.

Not worth watching with the T shirt add in the middle.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Really?

it would be a shorter list how someone WOULD be responsible than how many reasons they WOULDN'T be

Do you drive a car on the streets with others?
