What a Effin retard! What dealership is that! We all need to call and talk to this Rocket Scientist.

If they will fix that under warranty, I'm buying all my cars from there now.

So--why didn't anyone standing by tell him that the smoke wasn't coming from the tires, and he should stop??

that guy is the biggest moron I have ever seen in any automotive video. I cant believe that his buddies didn't stop him when they realized the rpm was increasing and the tires are not moving.

Painful to watch really, a shame the owner was not present, and this video confirms my beliefs that most who work at dealerships are idiots

I think its fgunny that when the video starts the guy seems to think he is pretty cool. Little did he know that by the end of the video he would look like the worlds biggest idiot ( other than the guy who drove a Bugatti veyron into a body of water)

absolutely priceless. I just showed my wife and she couldnt believe how stupid the guy behind the wheel was. What kind of Vette owner or normal human being wouldnt have realized that it didnt smell like rubber. With Z06 torque that clutch didnt stand a chance

nahh, the veyron guy lost concentration and wasnt paying attention.

these guys had 3-4 people watching the car (incl. driver) and STILL fried the clutch to a fine dust.
