Some of the comments in that thread are appalling. Guy in the Vette did something stupid and it cost him his life. I'm glad he didn't take anyone with him. But these [censored] ghouls who wished him dead, are glad he's dead, etc...horrible people.

WAY TOO MUCH traffic to be doing stuff like that !

Probably the only fortunate thing in this is that he slid into a full sized truck rather than a smaller vehicle. The outcome in that case may well have been even worse.

Man, that 'Vette just disintegrated.

Wow, that happened FAST.

Wow the wreck and the comments on that page are sobering.

I feel for him and his family. Was it a bone head move, meh probably but I can guarantee you every single person on this site has nailed the throttle on a straight road and expected the car to go straight. Ours did, his didn't. If everyone were to pay the ultimate price for doing exactly what he did we would all be dead.

I would have less compassion for the guy if he had been acting a fool or outrunning the cops. He was going with the flow of traffic and hit the gas, maybe to show off and maybe that electronic crap that controls the car went wonky, we don't know. To wish someone, or be glad someone is dead for a mistake we have ALL done is pretty sad in itself.

He was 36, at that age I had 2 kids in High School and a wife at my side. My mom, dad and siblings were all alive. There is a strong possibility at his age he was in a similar same boat. Tonight all those people who loved him won't see him again. Just because he did what every car guy has done plenty of times.

So I do feel bad for him and his family, although I understand those who don't loose sleep over him. That's a justifiable opinion in it's own right. Not those who were happy about it though.

Then again he could have been a douche and the world's a better place. So I choose not to judge but prefer to think him a good person.

I think its the rear gear that contributes to some of these things with the vettes and mustangs. Both seem to be able to quickly change direction under power and end up crashed.

Here is a link to many vette issues and the same can be found for the stangs. Dont see a lot of mopars doing the same for some reason.

That is one weird wreck. The fact that he took off hard while in the middle of traffic is weird, the fact that the car took a hard left is weird and the fact that the car exploded on impact is weird. I've seen a bunch of wrecks over the years but I've never seen an explosion like that. I've seen hard wrecks at the race track but the cars just bounce and scrape. Indy cars will explode on impact but I've never seen a street car do it. Almost looks like that car had been taken apart and put back together with aluminum rivets or something. Like a stunt car for a movie. Wonder what in the heck the driver of the Vette was thinking about when he pulled that stunt?

Maybe we are all jumping to conclusions.

It might be such a thing the Vette driver had a medical issue, like a sudden fatal heart attack (its been happening a lot lately). He may have been dead before the car accelerated and changed lanes. If his body was as messed up as most of us would expect after a crash like that, they may never be able to tell, even if they looked past the obvious and into the real reason he died.
