Dealer Gives C8 Corvette Owner New Car After Mechanic’s 148-MPH Street Race

[RoadDukie]

I sure hope the "mechanic" in question wasn't one of you knuckleheads!

The "race" starts a little after the 9 minute mark. I had no idea the C8 had such comprehensive video and data capability. The only thing missing is sound.

Sounds like the dealership owners/management bit the bullet and did the right thing.

This was on Lehto's Law on YouTube. Steve was stunned that the dealer did the right thing.

Both of those jackwagons should have their licenses revoked.

Why else would you buy a highest performance car and not use the performance. I am not saying the exhibition of speed was proper.

I think the issue was that they didn't own the car and the exhibition was done without the owners knowledge or consent.

Should have charged the owner $400 for an Italian Tuneup

The mechanic drives like a douchebag.

BUT the car wasnt abused, damaged, he drove it sort of fast for a little while, a new car seems over the top.

Dealer probably got another one from chevy over this, they can mark up and sell anyway.
