First C8 Fire !
Small as it was still concerning as to why it happened. Ahhh the joys of owning first year GM vehicles.

Just looking at the screen shot of the video shows at least the exhaust has been modified & I’m not clicking the video to see what else has been done that probably caused the fire.

Simply by saying it's not clickbait confirms it is.

It happened because the Youtuber wanted to get a bunch of clicks. He also had a brake fire on his last vehicle too???? What a coincidence, just ask yourself how many times you've had a fire? Let's make a sensational video and get a bunch of clicks, sorry it's 100% bullshit. Only a sucker and a mope would buy into it.

It’s rather annoying that youtubers get to advertise here for free rather than be a supporting vendor.

Someone probably had no idea what they were doing when modifying that car. Shame on them.
And I won't follow the link either. No $$ from me for all those Youtube profiteers.

He left the track set up on his car after tracking it, the parts hang way too low and get rocks in them.

If it's the "first", but posted repeatedly, is it still the first?
