Oldie but good one. What an idiot. Gee it was not the tires what was it. Clutch smells way different then tire smoke. He deserves wha the gets. Those 600 dollars worth of tires are going to cost a lot more now. Azzwipe.

This video is a known staged fake. The clutch was already toast before the camera was turned on.

Hard to believe he couldn't tell the difference between burning rubber and burning clutch plates.

The real shame is how many people here got fooled by the video. No clutch in good condition starts slipping and burning instantly like in the video. I guess you guys don't notice all the staged stuff on Americas Funniest Home Videos either?

I agree this appears staged for a number of reasons. This just makes vette owners look bad.

If it was staged the owner did a real good job of making himself look like a fool.
