lol I like this part the best

Police officers on the scene told a camera crew that the Corvette was a brand-new ZR1; car afficionados have e-mailed the Register to say that it looks like a standard Corvette C6.

Police said the Infiniti was a G35; afficionados have pointed out that it has the tail lights, chrome strip and insignia of a G37.

What a dumb reporter. It is not a G35 or a ZR1. That is a G37 and regualr C6 vette.

I think the police are the idiots...

He was likely speeding, but 150+? no way. Even a vette takes a while to reach that speed, and there's no way to weave in and out of traffic when you're going over 2x the speed limit.

100+ is believable.

So if the g37 driver was doing say 70, this guy probably hit him at 130 if he slowed down a little. would that be almost like driving into a wall at 60?

Wow that sucks...

My dad was just hit by a corvette.... (my dad doesn't have a G though..)
Guy wasn't drunk... but when he hit my dad he was maybe half way into the wrong lane, across the double yellow...




(my dad is the SL... the corvette is the one who hit my dad)
