Im convinced, you have to watch the rear on the C4, especially if your rubber is worn. I almost lost mine a couple of weeks ago. It was a wake up call for me . No fast turns without new rubber.

If it was a stock LT1, LT4 or LT5 sure it would. A stock LT1 in good running condition has been known to go as fast as 172 mph. There is an article posted on it somewhere on this forum. However in the video I doubt he ever came anywhere near this speed on a busy freeway.

He was on run flats they the cops got with stops sticks ( spikes )
