yea this was posted somewhere else on the site, I think in OT?

Either way, AWESOME video. I love the guy's reaction. Sounds like he just saw a ghost or something.

Well, the corvette was fast, but you can't even see the Fit that passed by after the corvette, it was going so fast.

People actually know how to drive in Europe. Driving like that in the US is a disaster waiting to happen with how people pay no attention and just park it in the left lane on our highways. He would probably get killed by one of the jackass semi-truck drivers that pull out in the left lane and cut you off because they're going 1/2 MPH faster than the semi-truck in front of them and want to try and pass them.

Doing that on any road in any country is just plain stupid. At that speed no driver can react to someone suddenly pulling in front of them. Likewise, any other drivers on the road would not be able to see the vette. Even if they just checked their mirrors before changing lanes, there is only a fraction of a second that the vette would be in your mirror. The odds of seeing that vette are very slim.
