More than a quarter-of-a-million people have seen the video of a Corvette ZR1 driver crashing into a Chrysler SRT8 since Jalopnik first posted it. Now we have the video, and story, of what happens next.
It's now clear that the owner of the Corvette ZR1 and the Chrysler SRT8 were racing but, despite showing the CHP the original video, they were able to get out of a ticket because the unskilled 'Vette driver copped to the whole thing.
In fact, were it not for the apparently wealthy ZR1 owner immediately taking blame for the situation (but if you're street racing, you're both to blame) and agreeing to cover everything in the insurance. We'll let YouTube user FosterMichaelR explain in his own words. Warning, he hates spacing.
