Tuned Corvette Z06's Drifty Burnout Almost Turns Sour [NSFW]

There's nothing wrong with getting excited about your freshly updated ride, especially if said car happens to be a badass looking and sounding Chevrolet Corvette Z06 C6, but you shouldn't let your guard down either.

In this video, we have the driver of a murdered-out Z06 with Texas license plates receiving his car after what we assume to be an aftermarket upgrade.

As the young man gets ready to enter the 'Vette, the person behind the camera politely asks him how much the rims cost, only to receive the answer..."Too much".

2014 Corvette C7 Prototypes Pictured and Filmed in New Mexico

One of the most sought after prototype vehicles of the year has been photographed and filmed, not by professional spy shooters, but by a reader and a YouTube user respectively, both in the same place in Red River, a resort town in Taos County, New Mexico, over the weekend.

The photos come to us courtesy of a Jalopnik reader who spotted a large fleet of General Motors' sports cars consisting of five Camaro ZL1s, all current versions of the Corvette C6 including the base model, the Z06 and the flagship ZR1, plus eight covered models that are believed to be prototypes of the next Corvette C7.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7: A Different Design Perspective

Ladies and Gentlemen, what you see here is in fact NOT the much talked about 2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7. Though don't worry as there is one coming; Chevrolet is about to unleash its next installment of hyper transport to the world by 2013.

Now, some of you may or may not have seen the many C7 Corvette CGI drawings and videos floating in cyberspace. Supposedly, some of the renderings were based on leaked sources revealing the real thing, although being fair; they all show a nice evolution of the current C6 Vette.

All this has me slightly worried; the current car has been with us since 2005 and deserving of a major design overhaul. Would a simple evolution go far enough?

Ford Mustang 5.0 Rear-Ends Mustang GT which then Crashes into a Corvette [NSFW]

We know that you might be expecting to hear a deep voice coming from the background saying, "I'm in good hands", but instead what you will be hearing in this video after the crash is a whole lot of "Oh's" and an assortment of curse words.

We don't have much information about the accident, though the vehicles involved in the crash appear to belong to some sort of sports car convoy (that or it's a viral video for a insurance company – we just can't be sure).

R&T Pits Corvette ZR1 Against Ferrari 458 Italia and McLaren MP4-12C in a V8 Showdown

The Corvette is one of the longest standing nameplates in the sports car world with a history that spans seven decades across six generations of models.

The current iteration of the Corvette (C6) has been in production since 2004 (as a 2005 model) and will soon be replaced by an all-new version set to appear at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show next January with sales to follow later in the year.

The pinnacle of the series, the ZR1, is the fastest and most expensive (at $112,600) production Corvette ever, but how does it compare against two of the newest and most capable V8-powered supercars in the world, the Ferrari 458 Italia and the McLaren MP4-12C?

Corvette C6 Z06 Dances to the Tune of D2FORGED Wheels

Even as it approaches the end of its career, the sixth generation of the Chevrolet Corvette, which was introduced in 2004 as a 2005 model, remains an impressive looking sports car – even more so in Z06 guise with the Carbon Fiber Package.

For as long as we can remember, one of the easiest (but not necessarily the most economical) ways to improve or personalize the looks of a car is to replace the factory rims and tires.

Man Power Slides a Corvette Z06 Loaner Into a Tree

While not as epic as last year's Corvette C5 vs. Corvette C6 incident, this crash involving a Corvette Z06 C5 ranks fairly high on the stupidity index (that is, unless it was done for insurance purposes since the same person allegedly pulled the same stunt on a Dodge Viper, as you will read below).

2013 Corvette C7 Review specs, price, car and drive.

2013 Corvette C7 Review specs, price, car and drive.

2013 Corvette C7.

Now, the latest news coming from the 2013 Corvette C7, now comes with an interface similar to ferrari cars. This car has interior and exterior design is very dynamic. This is evident from the car and drive it to the car we tested this.

2013 Corvette C7 Review price.

2013 Corvette C7 Price.

For price of 2013 Corvette C7, Pricing conjecture is just that. We look for the base Corvette coupe to start at roughly $52,000, ranging up to about $115,000 for the ZR1. If all goes according to plan, the C7 should hit dealerships in fall of 2012.

2013 Corvette C7 Review Interior.

2013 Corvette C7 Review Interior

For Interior of 2013 Corvette C7.

For Interior of 2013 Corvette C7, We also look forward to and fervently hope for a thorough interior makeover. The C6 Vette has long been a respected member of the serious sports-car community, but its interior has been subpar for ­­just as long. Although interior dimensions ­probably won’t change, materials will be up­graded, and the seats strangely deficient for years are expected to compare favorably with the buckets found in Porsches and BMWs.

2013 Corvette C7 Review Engine.

2013 Corvette C7 Review Engine.

Engine of 2013 Corvette C7, There will be changes under the hood, too. Despite the probability of slightly reduced displacement, output of the Corvette’s pushrod V-8s naturally aspirated and supercharged (ZR1) should be about the same as that of current engines, thanks to new direct-injection systems. Also, fuel-economy ratings may show a slight uptick. But don’t expect a hybrid version.
