Don't Let This Happen to You!

On our way to a car show, one of our pack got a bit too rambunctious rounding the entrance to an on-ramp. Completely disappeared in the brush for 100 ft., popped out at the other end. You're looking at the good side. The other side didn't fare so well. Moral of the story -- these beasts can bite you if you don't treat them with respect!:(

looks like the ZR-1 is also a decent brush hog.

Sorry to see that.

C4 will bite you in the butt,if you feel the rear end coming out on you it's too late.
Fishtailing a C4 is a no no,especially when wet.

agreed... used to have fun hanging the rear end out on my Camaro, let off the gas it'd usually come right back. The C4, I've found to behave as Pete described above... once it gets sideways, it may not come back.

I had my rear end get away from me at the drag strip. I think it happened to Pete also. Luckily it straightened out. Hell it happened to my mother in her brand new at the time 87 automatic corvette. Thought she was going to gun it around a corner and show off to her coworker and lost it. Didn't hit anything. But sure scared the crap outta her.

Happened to mom (Dave Bright) once too. It's almost happened to me twice. Really makes you pucker up.:???:

Hookin it sideways and keepin it controlled is a blast but loose respect for the power,even a bone stock 375 horse car and you end up in the weeds.........bushes.My car has got my attention a few times,mostly on cold tires.Only time I ever got the car sideways stupid was with the original rock hard Gatorbacks trying to get around a stalled car at a green light.I went through the intersection looking out the Pass window to see where I was going.Got a whole new appreciation for ASR after that.

Try doing a doughnut on the freeway heading to Van Horn Texas in a driving snowstorm after just passing a DPS car that was wrapped around a tree 2mins earlier and a U-Haul truck carrying a trailer that had just eaten a guardrail 200 ft in front of you. No lie I had to move from 4th to regain traction. That was my maiden trip home from Houston to Phoenix!!!

I'll bet you drank heavily after arriving.
