Going Offroading in a C7 Chevrolet Corvette Is Pure ‘Murrica

Let’s take the video below, for example, which shows a C7 Corvette Stingray being taken for an off-roading session. The clip comes from Mike Tornabene, a Youtuber you might know as Dom Mazzetti, a character that shows why bro-ish gym stereotypes exist.

Together with his friend Zack, Mike rents a Corvette and leaves the tarmac behind, all in the name of generating views for their Gnarpm vehicle shenanigan YouTube show.

Once they head out onto the dirt, the two put the electronic nannies to sleep and start making use of the sportscar’s LT1. From speeding to drifting and pulling all sorts of tricks, these guys drive the ‘Vette in that environment as if the car was rented.

Oh, wait, it actually was a rental. Since the car has probably been given a proper wash and returned meanwhile, we can't help but think of the next customer wondering why a "new" Corvette comes with so many squeaks.

The C7 was never the sturdiest sportscar on the market, so these guys were sort of playing with fire in their quest to draw attention on the world wide web.

The Corvette you can currently grab is the kind of modular sportscar that can cater to all sorts of go-fast transportation needs. With its active sub-systems, this Chevy is easy to drive inside the city, tail-happy when you want to fool around, and quick when you hit the track. Unfortunately, it doesn’t feel entirely organic, but that probably doesn’t matter too much when you’re out there, sliding in the dust.
