That sure won't help him pick up Hooters waitresses...

The squished aspect ratio make it look like an old Opel GT.

Hahaha, too funny. The Z06 was just a little too yellow and awesome for this guy.

Figures that this dumba$$ lives in my state - Texas. Another sad case of more money than sense. Seems that the cameraman is an idiot, too. Would YOU walk in front of a car revving it's massive engine and trying to do a burnout? Twice?!

Silly rabbit, trix are for kids.

Interesting how he pops the rear hatch first. Nope, no clutch back there either.

I'm not sure how he did this. Was he just letting the clutch slip the WHOLE time? Why? You'll have to forgive my ignorance. I've never owned or driven a high powered rear wheel drive vehicle. And I've never attempted a burnout.

WOW!

That man should buy a 4-banger automatic. Its hard to believe he thought that was the tires. For one, the smell would be different.

Crowb-he thought that when he popped the clutch the tires were spinning. Instead the clutch was slipping. At least that's my guess.

And he's got his license plate visible. Hope Chevy put out an APB for a moron in a yellow Z06 likely to come in for a new clutch under warranty.... :-/

Well, all he wanted to do was burn $600....
Money shouldn`t be wasted like that, hope he learns that lesson as well.

That's going to cost a lot more the $600 bucks. He should be required by law to now turn the car over to someone who would care for it properly.

Poor Corvette! All you had to do was go on the internet to find out how to do a burn out or just not do it at all.
