that would never happen with C3's ... we have posi! the only traction control we have is sticking your foot out the door, a la Fred Flinstone! Hey Marcel ... watch this!

This was in OT yesterday.

Not really a good idea to race on the street regardless, especially with all of those pedestrians and bicyclists around.

The new Vettes will get you sideways very easily even with all the "nannies" on. Side by side street racing on a narrow road like that is a very bad idea.

Looked like a pretty even race too. 8*) Nothing like watching over 100K in cars get wrecked.
