I just remembered that when I was little my dad would let me steer his vette for the last 1/2 mile as he drive me home. Yeah, not the brightest

Do vettes even have LSD's? Did the C5 have TC and/or LSD?

I guess there's no cure for gobs of power and stomping on the go pedal.

And this does not help the reputation of Corvette owners:

The C6 Corvette Z06 is one of my favorite cars. Anyone who doesn't think a Corvette can handle doesn't know anything about cars. They are RWD with lots of power. People just don't know how to drive.

When you start to loose traction your natural reaction is to counter-steer. The problems begin when you combine said reaction with lifting off the gas too much. Suddenly you regain traction and go the direction of your countersteer. All cars do this, RWD cars just tend to do it more dramatically.

^ this seems to be what happened in the 2nd video. But in the first video, the dude just plain stomped on it.
