Default Sad Day
Heard about a fatal Corvette accident in the chicago suburbs on the news last night. They said a Corvette was racing a Nissan 'GTE' (what news said) and someone pulled out in front of the Corvette. When he tried to miss the car that pulled out he lost control, all per what NBC 5 news said last night. They are trying to find the driver of the Nissan now. I hopped on here to see if anyone posted about it yet. A buddy wrapped his ZR1 around a tree last May. Seems like 1 of these fatalities happens every spring...sad

Sad news, but that's why street racing is a bad idea.

Prayers for the Vette driver's family.

Obviously it was a GTR. I saw something on YT about this, but have there been any other developments?

Agree about the follow up.

I was following that guy in the Mustang GT in LA that took out two people and killing them (other driver was one of those guys from a TV show) and never heard anything else about it.

They suck you in for clicks and visits.
