Clearly that was a mustang disguised as a Vette.

They should have used a Fox Body with $5k in mods.

Well, that would just be another car in the race.

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.

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.

From an optics standpoint this has got to be a bit of a nightmare for GM. It’s not enough that their VP crashed their car on national television in the city where the company is based, Reuss happened to spin into the wall underneath a banner promoting Chevrolet cars.

True. But I think that would be even more embarrassing for GM than human error. If something broke, they probably would never admit it.

70 degree temp, cold tires, 700+ HP, traction control probably turned off for some tire squealing to woo the crowd... What could go wrong?

And don’t forget outdriving your own skill level.

I think there was ice on the track. Yeah, musta been a patch of black ice.
