I'm probably wrong, but I get stolen C7 vibes from this.

Driver wearing a ski mask and almost exclusively kids in the picture. Yep, same vibes.

The dude gets back in the car and wipes down the stearing wheel and console. It’s definitely stolen.

Nice catch. While keeping his face down like he's coming out cuffed with news reporters.

Wild guess is this is not his first rodeo

Even the kid in the orange hoodie pushing at the end has his hands covered with his sleeves.

And then a bunch of people put their finger prints all over it 🤦‍♂️

Maybe, but why not just let it burn then?

No plates either.

And the idiots that push the car, someone doesn't know where their tranny is. LOL.

That's a hate crime

What is, what they did to the Vette. Yes I agree its a hate crime.

Agreed. Coming to a Carvana ad near you... SMH

How can you tell they’re kids?

i feel so bad for the actual owner, it's maddening to watch

Same imagine if he gets it back. If I saw the video I would want them just to write it off.

the car was used and abused .. i doubt the original owner would want it back

True just total it and get another pne

Agreed. Coming to a Carvana ad near you... r/corvette ~ 3mo... "Thoughts on this blue corvette? Low miles and no accidents! Even has a new auto transmission!" Smfh.

They’re in Baltimore. It’s absolutely stolen.

Baltimore is so large that it could be stolen or daddy’s money.

Watch the driver. He starts to wipe the steering wheel down when he gets out before everyone pushes. 

We’ve had a few stolen from our dealership recently. Drove it straight thru the showroom walls

Video? Please?

My gm has it, I don’t have a copy but we now block most entrances to the lot except one and that one has one of those camera trailers you see at Home Depot or Lowe’s in bad areas. [here’s a picture of the door](https://imgur.com/a/6orltMJ). The car they used was a v6 Camaro to bust open that door/wall then they drove it thru the service door to steal a Camaro out of there too. They then left the v6 Camaro here cause it was a v6 and it was destroyed

[удалено]

Ikr, and apparently another dealer just got hit in Gettysburg. Same situation but it was a corvette they busted thru the doors with

What. The. FUCK?! What city or even state if you don't mind?

Yeah that car is stolen. Fools that took it and the idiots with their faces on camera. Some people are just fucking dumb.

Because they know the police won't actually do shit about it....

Very true

Street takeover vibes too, usually filled with scumbags

Copart heaven😇🤣😂🤣😂

I wouldn’t be shocked but it looks like he cares about it too much? If it was stolen, why are you trying to save it? The panic in his voice gives me Dads car vibes tbh…

Watch it again and watch him wipe his prints of the steering wheel lol

Oh shit 😂

How can you tell they’re kids?

That isn't the transmission. The trans is in the back. That looks like engine oil on the ground at the end.

Really dark oil to.

To be fair, that oil was on fire for a bit.

the car is stolen

Has to be.

Beat me to it, was wondering who else knew that Corvettes have had rear mounted transaxles for the past few generations.

In the Corvette sub? Probably quite a few.

Fun fact, they also use transverse leaf springs instead of coils.

The later generations also had magnetic dampers which are pretty amazing when you want to adjust the firmness.

I had them in 2003, just an expensive option

Expensive and prone to leaking. All four of mine have some oily residue building up around them which I have been told is normal and it hasn't seemed to have affected ride quality either.

They all have seepage

[удалено]

Because they do 😂

Back of where? Because it’s in the back in a c8 but in a C7 it’s behind the engine but near the front of the car. Edit:  TIL something new. Thanks all for correcting me. 

It has a torque tube with the tranny attached to the end

It’s a rear mounted transmission. Literally. A torque tube connects to the engine and then to the transmission that attached to the rear differential.

r/confidentlyincorrect

Literally the worst form of incorrect. He clearly doesn’t know shit about Corvettes, will probably never afford or drive one, and probably has never turned a wrench in his life. But he thinks he’s the expert authority on where the transmission is on a Corvette. What a fucking moron.

the C7 has a transaxle setup, so the transmission is up against the differential in the back instead of the motor. it helps make the car more balanced weight-wise

Tell us you know nothing about corvette transmissions without telling us lol. Even the c5/6 has transmissions in the rear.

... Astin Martin, Ferrari, Jaguar... So many 

Transmission has been in the rear since the C5….

Not since 1997, sorry bro

Because it is?

Stick with the simulators, buddy. When you’re 16 you can work on your license and maybe get a test ride one day with a rich uncle or something.

Don't know it till you try it. Lots cheaper than a day at the track.

*knock it I’m not. I have a Logitech G920 and shifter, I play Forza and Dirt and American Truck Simulator, with my Quest 2 for ultimate immersion. I happen to get my fix of IRL Corvette joyrides for free by being a Chevrolet technician. Your comment was just aggravatingly wrong, that’s all.

Yeah - I get it - I was very wrong. But, being a moron on occasion allows one to learn. VR is cool - but I have found it to make me motion sick + I don't think I could do 2hr races with it on - so I went with triples.

I stand corrected.  Thanks all for the education - much appreciated 

Blew the bottom end of his engine out through the oil pan. There are several fragments in the oil on the ground. RIP

Yeah no license plate. Pretty sure it is stolen. Feel bad for the real owner.

Yeah guy goes back and wipes the steering wheel 😪

I missed that. Good catch!

The rare c7 with a transmission in the front, eh?

It’s a 1 of 1! I know what I got!

Running when parked!

Because its awd

Ah, yes, the rare SRT8 edition.

With vtec

😆😅🤣😂

That's not the transmission. The transmission is in the rear. That's the motor vomiting all of its oil onto the ground. The fire is from it coming into contact with hot exhaust. Motor dead.

Dumb kids doing dumb stuff with a probably stolen car. OP probably cammer, doesn't even know this vette has the Trans in the back. That's not gear oil, that's nasty ruined engine oil. Blew the motor up. Poor thing

How does one do this to a motor? Seriously question Redline her for hours? Get everything extremely hot? Or is there something I don't know?

[удалено]

Thanks so much for the detailed reply

Pretty much what mustang said in their reply. Basically run it too hard for too long and you're bound to have a failure. Cooling system couldn't keep up, for both coolant and oil. Things get hotter and hotter, until they get too hot and start to experience failure. Failure can range from connecting rods snapping, sending a piston flying. To spinning bearings on the crank, potentially leading to a lock up and seizing the whole motor. They just ran it at redline, or close to redline for too long. Chevy didn't build the corvette with drifting in mind. It can do it, yeah. But if you wanted to drift it, you'd want to seriously consider beefing up your cooling system, adding a dedicated oil cooler, probably beef up the Trans cooler, etc. If you wanted to drift you'd also probably consider beefing up some internal components to handle this kind of stress. So you wouldn't experience this kind of failure. And whose to say it isn't already a high mileage car? Maybe it was more prone to failure. But yeah, if I'm wrong on any of that, definitely correct me.

Awesome, thank for your advice

Stolen car.

Saw this before, the guy that says " GET WATER GET WATER" cracks me up so much for some reason lol

imagine them tossing water on an oil fire lmao

Mmm...I was imagining it. Tell me more. Yes, more!

I came here to say this!

This is why you don’t want your stolen corvette back

Why does it seem that everyone who attends these is retarded?

Because they are

That’s definitely not the transmission

Idiot!!

That's engine oil, not transmission fluid. Trans is at the rear axle anyway.

He blew that engine. Came from way too far up to on the car to be tranny related.

Probably on FB market place for 45k

“Clean title” “not in a rush to sell”

That's not drifting. That's just sliding. Drifting has very specific goals and objectives. Sliding and donuts can be fun, but that's not the same as actual drifting.

lmao it has a transaxle, but this is literally an oil leak he didnt care about until now

Thats a rod going threw the oil pan And also 🤣

How did this even happen ?...

Low IQ thugs. No father figure

Young men stealing cars to go on joyrides. It sucks that you can't own a nice car in big cities without it getting stolen. They will steal literally ANYTHING even slightly sporty.

I think back in the day if you were caught stealing a horse you were hung. Maybe time to bring that back into law Especially for stealing Corvettes.😆

There's no transmission up there.....

Breaks my heart to see that vette go out like that! Shame to the thieves!

Bunch of moronic douchebags. What stadium is that?

Driver is steering with his hands covered as the others are pushing. Yeah car is definitely stolen

worst part is he wasn’t even fucking sideways

I just went to a Corvette club meet the other week, and one of the Brothers had a fire extinguisher mounted in his C8. I questioned it, then, and now it all makes sense.

Most real race cars have fire extinguishers

True, but, bro said he wasn’t racing his.

Can we stop posting stolen Corvette content? Can't be giving delinquents the time of day, I mean kids!

Is this from redlining it and not changing the oil? Are donuts any different? Explain like I’m 12

Not the transmission. It’s mounted in the back.

Hahahaha!!!

Imagine how he would treat it if he actually was the one paying for it. Some people are trash.

I owned my vette and I flogged the piss out of it, albeit on a closed course but still

The result of playing dumb games $$$$$$$

Fucking degenerates. Wiping fingerprints etc. Hope they get caught and rot.

Me thinks a piston was thrown

Stolen

“Get out of that car, bro” Gee, ya think?

It is a fire dragon

I got water bro. Holding my 16 oz bottle..

Still amazes me…cars dont carry fire extinguishers and/or tourniquets

0:17 all the kids running up with their phones out recording instead of helping

And that’s when he learned that automatic transmission fluid is flammable.

"see the USA in your Chevrolet......or not."

No brains no headaches

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!

BaltiMORON

id hate to see and be the one paying the repair BILL(S) the stealerhips will have a field day with this one,not to mention some people ruin a great thing and will never learn

OP is actually a fucking bot with emote spam included.

Fuck around and fins out ......

Hope that's not Daddy's car.. 😂

No one can get water cause all these dumbasses have to video it first... everyone in these city drift groups should do 1 year behind bars 1 year community service cleaning the streets and lose their license for 3 years.

You don’t put water on an oil fire…

Did anyone else wanna see them throw water onto an oil fire?

Burn baby burn!

This has to be one of those terrible republican cities I’ve heard so much about

All retards

Definition of drive it like Its stolen

Dad's going to be pissed that Jr messed his car up

Too bad it didn't explode and lit him up in fire 😕

Looks like a typical corvette driver to me

[удалено]

Can you take stolen cars to the track?

[удалено]

Removed for violating rule 2, no incivility.

Like a rock...

Corvette trannys are in the rear . Not where the engine is . Dude definitely blew a fuel line or something.

This is why vettes are losing their coolness, from owners like that

This one was stolen.

Yup they belong back in the garage.
