Assuming that is an accurate projection of what the C7 capabilities are (I understand a lot of hard work went into making it so), we are all arguing about whether a car like that should have round tail lights or not?

Drifting is cool to watch, takes a ton of skill, but I still don't understand why someone would want to go the slow way around the track while destroying their tires at an exponential rate. Makes NO sense to me.

If the guy who made the video did it with a cockpit setup I'm impressed...controller...not.

Drifting is great practice for being comfortable when the car is out of control and very uncomfortable for most. It's a great skill to have. Wish there were more events near me, as I have drifted my old M3 quite a bit before Beaverun got bought by new investors. Now the drift events are three hrs from me.

It's great practice, keeps your hand speed up and gives you great throttle control which is really handy when your powering out of a turn in a high torque machine. Once you do it, you won't quit.
