Will Cooksey's (Corvette Plant pres) burnout. Heard him tell the story while I was at the Corvette museum's 15th anniversary.

I remember that one I was their that year it was crazy weather 100 degrees was hotter there than in SC
Some days you just need to smoke them good for the blood pressure until it's time to get new rear tires
I say it's worth it

I was sitting there that day watching Wil do that and was in shock that they would tear up a car like that....

I missed it by about 15 min, bad accident on the interstate kept me away. My dad and I went through the median to do a u-turn in his 04 gto and just couldnt make it in time.

Burning Brakes
I used to do em in my beater 68 Cutlass that had 2.73 gears w/o Posi and a mix-matched 350 chevy I built for $500. I certainly hope a Z06 can do a burnout
Although it was kinda neat to see a Z06 get abused, it wasn't too impressive to see that a Z06 could actually do a burnout. Were we uncertain whether or not it was capable of such a feat?
A burnout where you're not suppose to do one is fun. A burnout in a sleeper muscle car is kinda fun. Laying down 100ft of rubber while getting sideways is even fun. But seeing a boxed in Z06 do a burnout is only neat because he damaged it.
Now this is kinda neat
Has a lil showmanship to it.
