C8 Corvette Destroys Dodge Challenger In Street Race

Read the full story on The Auto Wire

A video of a C8 Corvette racing a Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk before it slices through the front end of a Dodge Challenger is spreading online like wildfire. It’s such shocking footage we’re really not surprised by that at all. But it’s also a wonderful illustration of how dumb street racing is.

BMW street racing results in a fiery, deadly crash.

Supposedly, the C8 Corvette was a rental, so that only adds to the driver’s headaches. And he not only crashed into the Challenger, he wrecked out into the Jeep and plowed the ‘Vette into a pole, totaling it.

When you’re going at high speeds, pushing the envelope, one wrong move can set off a chain reaction of violent events you might not be able to avoid. Things snowball in a hurry, as this guy learned the hard way.

Why the Dodge driver pulled up into the pathway of the C8 Corvette isn’t clear. But the driver got out after the crash and expressed his rage in a relatable way. After all, how would you feel if your muscle car was destroyed by a street racer?

This is why if you are going to street race, other people need to be keeping innocent bystanders from crossing into your path. But even then someone can slip through and a big crash might result. It’s best to just take your grudge matches to the track.

According to X account Dockaysworld.NG, a YouTuber based in Lagos, named Trammania, racked up a ton of debt from the three-car crash, plus his medical bills from injuries incurred. In other words, one lapse in judgment has set him back financially for years on end.

This is one of many reasons why street racing is dumb and you just shouldn’t do it. Even at a regulated dragstrip accidents can happen, but they’re usually not like this.
