Buy a mustang and paint a bullseye on it. We've got a 2016 going through its  sixth insurance claim. None at fault, one hit and run.

16 - rear ended
17 - rear ended
18 - pass side
19 - front
22 - rear ended
22 - driver side

Honestly people are just driving like idiots and expecting the computer nannys to correct things for them. Worst inventions ever were the adaptive braking stuff and it's ilk. People figure it's ok to pay less attention.

With that vette I'd bet there's a rise in the roadway and traction broke free going over it, then the car got squirrely when it settled down and off he shot.

Could have just been a cold road. A C7Z has enough to screw you over with minimal ignorance under the ideal conditions.
 
100hp has enough to screw you over in the ideal conditions.

Basic physics + Murphy's Law = Darwin Award with a good story.

Yup. Definitely not some of the other cars out there with their reputation to be taking out crowds and curbs..

Well, I'll start with the cooler temps there given the time of year, stiff suspension light weight car that is close to 50/50 bias on a short wheel base. Probably an inpatient driver that stabbed it and sent it a little too hard.

Have you driven a Corvette? Not a boomer coupe either, a Z06. Any of them. Whole different car. A C5Z06 with light work can get frisky fast.
 
Picked up a wreck years ago of a mid 70’s vette. Guy took out two full-size poles and a third that was turned into a mail box stand all side by side. “ Hit black ice “ and was passing someone. Up the driver’s door and caught right behind the door ripping it in half.
Guy bitched about missing tapes the next day. Had 200 ft of debris from the car.

Tapes as in the AC/DC and Whitesnake cassettes he was probably blasting?
