This is one of the most seriously stupid videos I have ever watched. Did anyone else notice he was headed toward an oncoming car at 1:30 and that each subsequent burnout involved crossing the centerline on a public highway? What a jerk!

That's Matt Farah, of The Smoking Tire, which does lots of car vids, reviews, tests, and such. They try to compete with likes of Top Gear, but online-only (I believe), and in my opinion usually do a pretty good job producing some interesting stuff given their budget (save for the particular subject video of this thread anyway, which isn't one of their better works...lol).

At a very minimum, they got their hands on C7 if that says anything...

Since you are in H-town, do you know Ted from Mpower? Seen a ZR1 like that around my side of town (SW).

No, sorry... I am in NW, but I hit C&C just about every month.

Yes, and notice that the oncoming pickup truck was as far to the right side of his lane as he could go without getting into the dirt.

I think I outgrew this stuff by my 17th birthday.

Ha... I outgrew burnouts about 20 years ago, when, after pulling up to a light across the street from the bar I was headed to where all of the people I was meeting up with were sitting out on the patio area repeatedly yelling, "light 'em up!", I did... and when the light turned green, I stopped spinning them and the smoke cleared, there was a nice police officer patiently waiting behind me for me to finish up my fun so he could have his...

I was cited for "excessive display of acceleration", to which I humbly replied, "but I wasn't moving/accelerating!". True story...
