I mean, it had racing stripes. Must've been meant for racing.

Another credit to the structural design of the car in this one too. Though it appears to be a C7, the driver did survive the crash.

Happened here in Ocala,driver of corvette was taken to hospital as a trauma patient. Police looking for a a certain Mustang. Believed to be a street racing incident on a 6 lane thoroughfare here. They have video/pics of the the possible driver of the Mustang after he stopped to check on the driver with other folks. Sad

Driver in critical condition. Pink shirt attending to him at the scene is wanted, suspected of driving the Mustang he was racing.

So we're looking for a fat white guy with tattoos that drives a Mustang. In Florida. Okay.

Also, LoL at the C7's driver's leg. WTF man. Zero sympathy for these mouth breathers street racing and getting jacked up. I've seen a lot of painful **** in my day. Like a lot. My username is not some airlsoft bullshit or some Call of Duty handle. It is the real deal. I just LoL at douchebag adrenaline junkies like these two. Wanna feel the rush? Come to my world. Leave the streets safe for my Mom, thanks.

Given that car’s appearance, he must have survived by being thrown out of the car and landing in a field of daffodils.

I worked a C7 accident where the car broke apart and we found components scattered for nearly 1/4 mile. We estimate it hit the tree at about 120 or more.

This fuel tank almost hit a pedestrian on the sidewalk. It was 800 feet from the initial impact.

Sadly this one was a fatality. Be safe out there !

Racing is for a race track, not city streets.

There's always going to be people with more money than common sense, who are doing the rest of us the service of increasing resale value of the remaining cars---1 example at a time.

That's a C7, wrong forum. Please post in the C7 section.
