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?

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.

YEAH, that is exactly how it happened.. we were NOT racing.. He looked over @ me and romped on it sideways and lost control.. By the time i got back around to the guy he had taken off running.. I called a local wrecker and the police.. I snapped the pic's when all of the drama was over...

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.

That really sucks, but to run away?? There had to be something to it.
