Wait, so you were next to him at a light and he took off and lost control?

..

I assume you stopped to help him out / see if he was ok, and then take pics of his C6Z to show us on the forum .

How did it play out?

Hmmm, looks like he may have had his AH/TC off.

AH/TC saves my butt daily. These cars have so much torque, that my rear tires are always spinning. It could also be due to my lead foot

Wow. If that really happened the way you say; that guy is a moron.

I hope they don't close this because of street racing

I think GM is pretty dumb for having the AH button there and to turn off TC you have to hold it down, but to turn both of just touch it. 99% of people driving Corvettes should leave the AH on 100% of the time, and MAYBE if racing, turn off the TC only (comp mode).

I always drive around in comp mode and that AH really does a great job keeping the car straight. Unless Im on a huge open space like at an airport, I wouldnt test out the car with teh AH off.

I almost always drive in comp mode also. Unless i'm in a rush to do something stupid it's just one quick press of the button!

that northwest highway? Thats one slick road when its warm much less cold.
Wonder why he took off running, doubt it was stolen; how old did he look? wonder if it was Daddys car that he snuck out?

Test drive, tech drive, stolen or the owner running off to report it stolen, maybe. It was someone who thought he was capable and obviously wasn't.

Karma gets 'em every time...

I grew up in Denison. I used to ride dirtbikes just south of there in the woods that used to be there before the hiway. I bet the driver was drunk.
