Default The Slowest Fast Corvette You値l Ever See



Watch as these guys mistakenly take a wrong turn in a brand new 2016 Corvette C7 Z51 and end up in Subaru WRX territory.

In California, paved roads can turn into dirt roads without warning. All the navigation and map apps don't differentiate between the two. California, believe it or not, has a LOT of roads like that. So I guess they were following the road and poof....dirt road. I suspect going back might've taken a lot longer than just taking the dirt short cut. Big deal, they drove on a dirt road. The car lived, driver and passenger lived, that's the way it goes. Heck, even I've recently experienced paved to dirt road and lived to tell the tale.

Enjoy!

So they went down a dirt road. I'm sure the car can handle it.

Lots of dirt/gravel roads up here. Gotta slow down to keep down the gravel chips. LOL

I, however, opted to turn around.
