NV MY C5

A friend sent this to me, not sure if its real or chopped.

gawddam them's some good brakes and tires!!

B-ras

No droop from the rear suspension? I don't think its possible for a C5 to do that no matter what kind of brakes and rubber are on it.

Edit: ...and if it were possible, it would probably be with full race rubber and a BBK, not in legal configuration for SS.

First thing I noticed.

Kubs

Me too. I also thought maybe it was a leap over a bump but even then the suspension would hang down.

It's photoshopped. the rear of the car was clipped, cut and angled ever so slightly to make the effect. It was well done, I'll give them that. I think the left cone was placed too, but I can't tell on the cone on the right.

I don't think it's a chop.

The file has certainly been altered. There are all kind of issues in the jpg. There is a very straight line right at the back of the door. It's pretty hard to do that naturally. Actually, the entire rear fender is obviously modified.

I certainly wouldn't ever take the time to do this...

I blew it up as well and under the Rt rear wheel, the pixels become very smooth.
Chop evidence for sure.

Now, if he chopped an old lady in front of the car that he hit, I might have believed it.

^^Nice work!! Good chop too though!

This isn't chopped though. LOL Watch to the end.

Great vid and here I thought stoppies could only be done on 2 wheels

Good brakes and crazy glue tires are a must

AU N EGL

Photoshop secret: To check for photoshop work done to an image, just click through the three color channels individually. One of them will usually be extremely obvious that something has been done to the image. In this case, it was the blue color channel that revealed the most.

Definitely chopped.
Originally it was an orange C5 with a large Confederate flag on the roof. Duke stenciled above both doors.

It was confirmed on another thread by a corner worker that picture was taken after that car hit a bump in the course and was NOT a stoppie...

Here's one that a friend of mine got at VIR a couple of years ago. It's the real deal, no chopping:
