Default Corvette ZR1 Magic trick: Makes rear tires dissapear!

This must be burnout week:

http://jalopnik.com/400388/2009-corv...ely-into-smoke








That is BRUTALLY loud... And mind you, those tires are around a foot wide.

I respect your opinion, but I'm going to have to disagree and say Jetstream Blue is the best color on a Corvette.

With tires like this, in a lower down and wider car, that has had 3 years or so of tuning, I doubt so.

Just sayin'

On a small, tight course, the CRX has taken some much faster cars. It's also taken them on larger courses. It's a potent little car. There's a nice little round about by my mom's house. Everyone takes it at like 12mph, I've had the CRX over 35mph in it. Tires were about to give.

For the price, the CRX is pretty potent, but it's no race car.
I'll bet on the Corvette and root for the CRX if they were at the same race.

I hope you don't really think your CRX could take a Corvette on a twisty track. That car would annihilate your car, twice. Then do it in reverse and point and laugh at you.
