Our friends at Jalopnik posted this unfortunate street-racing episode earlier today… but I happened to find it from another link, that of a Corvette crashing during a rather poorly-run autocross. Click the link for a few recent Corvette crash videos which have made it to the ‘Tube…

A Corvette bangs a curb mad hard during an autocross, yo. Who runs a high-speed slalom next to an autocross? Not the SCCA, I will tell you that. This one was run by “SpeedVentures”. But what’s more interesting than a Corvette hitting a curb during an autocross?

That’s right! A Corvette HITTING A SPECTATOR!

How about a Corvette crashing during a back-road run? Cut and paste

into your browser. But come right back, so you can see this video from a “Cars and Coffee”:

More bumping Corvettes…

    Dick measuring contest gone bad....never a good thing when. Street racing is never a good thing, and especially not when the following formula is true Horsepower > Self-perceived penis-length x IQ

    Nice collection. I'm looking forward to Jack's tutorial. How do you crash in a straightline drag race? Seems super common, but seriously, how do you do it?

  • FreedMike Comparison: RAV4 versus CR-V. Who wins? Mazda CX-5 Turbo.(Sorry, the Toyota and Honda are both deadly dull to drive.)
  • Ajla 1. RAV4 Hybrid2. CRV Hybrid 3. RAV4 2.54. RAV4 Prime5. CRV 1.5T
  • MaintenanceCosts If only it had a hatch. The Model S is so much more practical, has similar performance in non-Plaid form, and is $20k more - and the $20k premium seems almost worth it just for the hatch.
  • Lorenzo I'm not surprised. They needed to drop the "four-door coupe", or as I call it, the Dove soap bar shape, and put a formal flat roof over the rear seats, to call it a sedan. The Legacy hasn't had decent back seat headroom since the 1990s, except for the wagons. Nobody wants to drive with granny in the front passenger seat!
  • Analoggrotto GM is probably reinventing it as their next electric.
