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!
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.
