If you saw a C5 Corvette pulled up next to a C6 Corvette at a stop light, would you assume that a drag race would follow? And which vehicle would win? We'd have our money on the C6 Vette, but then again, the C5 owner may have a bit extra under the hood. While on his way home from picking up the family's Thanksgiving turkey last week, one astute driver noticed just such a scenario play out in front of his eyes, and he was smart enough to press the record button on his camera phone. Unfortunately, the Vette owners weren't smart enough to know that public drag racing is always a bad idea, even on the day before Thanksgiving. As it turns out, the C5 did have the juice to keep up with the C6, but it didn't have very good traction. Follow the jump to watch a Bowtie battle for the ages turn into one very expensive insurance claim. With joggers, bikers and kids within a stone's throw of the road, this was a really stupid move, and the drivers are lucky only their cars – and egos – were damaged.

LOL. If you can't control your car then you shouldn't be adding a bunch of horsepower and smelly pile o poo. If he had any sense at all he would have known that that type of surface doesn't hold traction very well. I street raced for about 15 years and never had one accident but there is always that one time. Those guys were both idiots for racing when kids and bikers ride right in front of them at the stop light. And the guy behind the camera chews gum like a girl smacking and popping it. I turned the volume down after about 2 seconds of that. Sorry if that was you Jamie.hahahaha
