Yes, and yes. Okay smart guy, explian how spinning out hurts the suspension. I'm going to assume you think lateral force. Well, a slidding tire has less grip, therefore can apply less lateral force on the suspension than max cornering. So do you think cornering at high speeds is damaging to suspension? Do you really have that little faith in the corvette? You think it's such a flimsy POS that spinning it out causes damage? In reality, driving slowly on bumpy roads is much harsher on suspension than slidding on smooth concrete. That's repeated shocks, slidding is just a smooth force only effecting the ball joints and control arm bushings. And only the rears at that. I think you just have to put down something you consider childish. Since you wouldn't do it, you assume it's "hurting the car," despite not understanding the forces at work.

I buy corvettes to race them. And I have a BALL racing corvettes. The tires and such are a small price to pay for the big Sht eating grin on my face.

Please keep in mind that these videos were all put together in a safe / controlled envirenment. And their were no animals hurt in the making.
