Doing a burnout in a powerful car like the C7 Corvette Z06 is one way to show off. However, just because you can drive a Z06, that doesn’t mean you can actually do a burnout in one, as this video reveals.

This clip was shared online a few days ago and shows someone trying to light up the rear tires. While it’s unclear if it was the owner behind the wheel, the person driving maybe should have tried their skills on something cheaper before doing it in a car like the C7 Z06.

That’s because, as they attempt to spin up the rear wheels, all they do is burn the clutch to smithereens. Smoke can be seen billowing out from the underside of the car for several seconds before the driver decides enough is enough and lets off the accelerator.

One would have thought that, once they tried to do a burnout and realized the rear tires aren’t spinning, they’d let off the accelerator. In addition, most drivers would immediately recognize the smell of the burning clutch and again, let off the throttle. This driver did neither of those two things and kept on trying, destroying the clutch in the process.

If you were looking for the quickest-accelerating car out of these three, would you choose a C8 Corvette, a 2021 Toyota Supra, or a 992-generation Porsche 911 Carrera S?

Before we go any further, it’s worth mentioning that the Supra isn’t in the same class as the Corvette and the 911. Not only is it cheaper, but it is also significantly less powerful than the other two. Consequently, this is essentially a two-horse race.

Powering the current 911 Carrera S is a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged flat-six pumping out 444 hp at 6,500 rpm and 391 lb-ft (530 Nm) of torque between 2,300 rpm and 5,000 rpm. It sends all of its power to the rear wheels courtesy of an eight-speed PDK transmission. With the available Sport Chrono package, independent testing has shown the car can hit 60 mph (96 km/h) in 3.0 seconds flat.

By comparison, the C8 Corvette Stingray is powered by a 6.2-liter naturally aspirated V8 with 495 hp and 470 lb-ft (637 Nm) of torque, which gives it a clear advantage over the Porsche. It too uses an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission that drives the rear wheels and tests have proven it can reach 60 mph in less than 3.0 seconds.

So, in theory, the ‘Vette should have the upper hand, right? Well, the guys from Throttle House performed two drag races, as well as one from a rolling start, to see if the theory translated in the real world – but we won’t spoil the outcome for you.

When bad luck strikes, there’s little one can do about it but hope for the least harmful outcome possible.

However, nothing can prepare you for a double dose of bad luck administered at once. That’s what a 27-year-old woman rider from northern Brazil experienced when she found herself cut off by a careless driver and thrown off from the saddle of her scooter onto the pavement as a result of the impact.

As if that wasn’t bad enough, she then disappeared completely into a manhole, much to the bewilderment of bystanders. The video uploaded by ViralHog was captured by a surveillance camera on August 5, 2020 in Paragominas, in the Brazilian state of Pará. It shows the exact moment the woman on a scooter is hit by a red Chevrolet Prisma sedan whose driver turned left, cutting off the rider who was going straight.

As the woman was hit by the car and thrown on the tarmac, she slid head down into the sewer gallery, completely disappearing from sight. Witnesses quickly rushed to the scene and lifted a big chunk of the sidewalk, which enabled them to gain access to the gallery. As they lifted her out of the manhole, she appeared visibly shaken but was fortunately able to stand on her feet, if only briefly.

The footage also reveals that she emerged from the manhole without the helmet she was wearing when the crash happened. She probably took it off herself, unless it cracked in the impact. Hopefully, it did the job it was designed for. As reported by Brazil’s UOL News, the accident caused Mayara Santos spinal injury and she now needs surgery in order not to risk aggravating her condition and affect the movement of the legs.

As for the culprit, he is willing to provide all the necessary assistance for the victim. What’s mind-boggling is that police was not called at the scene and the woman’s family did not file a report against the Chevy driver as he promised to help as much as he can. Here’s hoping the scooter rider will receive the necessary medical care and get well soon.
