Are we sure it wasn't Danica?

passenger said he thought the c6 zr1 was better, and the driver lost his cool.

The bad news is, well, how poorly this all looks. The cost to repair the car remains unknown at the moment, but considering the driver was General Motors Vice President Mark Reuss, we can assume he’ll at least get a discount at the shop — or at the least get the damage taken out of his paycheck.

It'll either be scrapped or handed off to the Corvette Museum which is where it was heading in the first place. I think the person that's most likely to be fired is whoever showed him how to disable the stability control.

You never know, something could have broke. If you have a ball joint or control arm fail in a turn like that, you are going to get loved tenderly.

If so, they better keep quiet about it

ROFL!! Perfect. That needs to be on the news when they show this. It deserves to be seen and heard by more.

That circuit in Detriot is quite bumpy, but that's not even an excuse. Yea I'm sure that will buff out

It was ice!

In the immediate aftermath of the wreck, GM issued a statement that sought to deflect a bit of blame onto “weather and track conditions”:

I’m sure it’s always weather and road conditions every time someone wads up their ride leaving cars and coffee too......

[GeorgeG.]

no big deal... I'm sure he'll still get his 1/2 million bonus.

[CJ]

yep, one of our VP's. Pretty hilarious. We're still laughing.
