2020 C8 of the Year Finalist - Unmodified

This says something about the C7. How many people photographed this rather ordinary fender bender?

Correct, the pi of 35.33 = a cd of 1.24 in a wind shear of 5.0 or greater, the rear PSS's will lose grip.

I'm no expert but I did stay in a Holiday Inn once. That Corvette took the impact damn well.

It must have rear tail light airbags to protect the soon to be rare Camaro tail lights.

Wish I knew how fast the Lincoln was going. The vette held up very well.

The C7's could have avoided both accidents if they only had
bigger tires
less vents
a smaller grill
a different rear fascia
more power
a DCT
lane change warnings
A carbon fiber tub

Don't know if this was mentioned but I wonder if the side bag blew. It sure should have based on the impact, anyone know?

Looks like classic left turn at an uncontrolled intersection. Vette tried to hot foot in the rain, lost traction and got tboned by the Lincoln.

Despite all of the glaring drawbacks of this car, it was clearly driver error.
