As the owner of a 2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 owner down in Florida recently proved, supercar levels of performance can get out of hand rather quickly. A series of videos uploaded to Instagram on Sunday features a top-trim C7 leaving a local cars and coffee event and smashing into a curb.

With some encouragement from onlookers, the Corvette driver appears to pin the throttle down as they finish a turn onto a straight road, video uploaded by Instagram user ZR1_m7 shows. The ZR1 immediately lights up the rear wheels, as few tires can hope to contain that amount of torque from a dig. After a few taps of the rev limiter, the owner seems to quickly backs their foot off the gas. This upsets the car in dramatic fashion, spinning the driver right around after mounting a curb.

While the car didn’t seem to take too harsh of a hit, there’s clearly a large repair bill awaiting this owner. The bumpers are bashed up and separating from the bodywork, while the wheels have certainly seen better days. The hit to the owner's pride was likely worse than the actual shunt.
