Remember all those disclaimers from the Need for Speed series? Certain drivers take great joy in doing the opposite, acting as if their cars were arcade racing game controllers - this is how we end up with street races such as the one we're here to show you today.
The sprinting brawl involves a Subaru WRX STI and a Chevrolet Corvette belonging to the C6 generation. The mods on the machines come to complete the NFS take and we'll start with the Scooby.
