Default C5 Blows Up!!!

Anyone seen this? The car burns for a long time before anyone attempts to extinguish! I have only been to Bristol Dragway so maybe I am sheltered....but where was the Safety Crew?

BEWARE...LAUNGUAGE....Turn it down if you ont want to hear it....

{ I broke the link.....}

Oh yeh....the camera guy was definately NOT a Corvette guy...

That's been posted all over here several several times. Due to the lang... even though you posted a disclaimer... I'll shoot for IBTL. That and I think all the others were locked for the same reason.

Mr Mojo has a copy of it with the language edited (I think). It's a pretty old video so you should have no problem finding it.

It was a yellow Z06 with NOS
