It seems members of the North Texas Viper Club have got the English language wrong. We all know C4 is a type of explosive, but these people mistook some notions and blew up a Corvette C4.
We all know the Viper’s had a rough time convincing people to buy it, despite the fact that, at least when it comes to the current, fifth-generation model, it offers a mind-blowing driving experience.
However, this is no excuse for what the Texas Viper lovers Corvette haters have done - they gave that C4 Corvette a more than violent death. At first, they tried to send it straight to motoring hell using a 50-cal machine gun, but that wasn’t enough to put the sportscar to sleep.
Determined to complete the vehicular slaughter, the folks turned to Tannerite. This type of explosive is widely used for creating exploding targets since it’s rather stable until subjected to serious forces such as those generated by a high-velocity bullet.
This also required a few shots, but the inevitable bang did come, with the force of the blow opening up the Corvette like a can of GM. Sure, the C4 generation of the Corvette wasn’t the most desirable and yet it does deserve to be treated with respect.
We were pleased to see that, at least so far, no Corvette owners club has turned to the “eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth” principle. Hopefully, no snake will be hurt as a result of the reckless Texan initiative.
