When your maximum available torque is at 1 RPM, you can make even a big girl dance. That 4600 lbs of battery came out swinging. Trees the hell out of the C7 in run one, too. ---

Corvette owners typically display slower reaction time at the tree. It’s mostly due to the time it takes for them to take their eyes off themselves in the rear view mirror and pay attention to the light. ---
