Somebody already wrecked one earlier this week in Detroit...




Safety engineers from General Motors are taking a hard look at a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray that was involved in the car's "most serious" real-world crash to date.
The Corvette was involved in a crash with a Lincoln Town Car last week in a Detroit suburb.
A GM spokesman said that the Corvette was being driven by an unidentified GM employee as part of the automaker's captive test fleet when the crash occurred.

I wonder who was at fault. And I agree with Gary, look at the damage on the Lincoln.

The damage on the Lincoln is front clip, hood and maybe fenders. They're designed to collapse. The vette doesn't look that but who knows how much damage the frame sustained. I'd bet the cost to fix the vette is more.

With all that tire in contact with the pavement, I'd guess it would be hard on any vehicle trying to push a Vette sideways.
