Don't Let This Happen to You!
imag0029yl.jpg
imag0032gz.jpg 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!

Re: Don't Let This Happen to You!
looks like the ZR-1 is also a decent brush hog.

Re: Don't Let This Happen to You!
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. Pete

Re: Don't Let This Happen to You!
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.
