Practicality Challenge: Corvette vs. Nissan Versa
I appologize if this is a repost, but I did a search to check and couldn't see anything..
Here's a pretty funny Corvette vs Grocery Getter challenge video, sound's a little quiet to start - but it's a pretty entertaining video with decent production value, and it's about a vette! C5 with a fairly decent set of upgrades and stock Versa.

Hah, makes me glad I haven't lowered.
*edit \/ Thanks bill - didn't realize there were YT tags.

Really, if you have to go through all that effort just to get your car out of your driveway, IT'S TOO LOW!

Whiplash, being strapped in negates the airbag and the OEM seatbelts which are designed to "slowly" stop your forward movement. Race harnesses don't give and your head will snap forward.
Plus it's a Pain in the butt when you can't reach your door to close it! Heck, I can barley reach the Radio controls!

Same reason you don't want to drive a caged car on the street. Track you're strapped in and wearing a helmet on the street not. Head, metal bar, impact = not good.
