Corvette ZR1 loves going sideways

I have filmed Graziano Rossi drifting with his Chevy Corvette ZR1 during 11° Monza Rally Show 2013. He has some serious driving skills, It's not so easy keeping a heavy Corvette sideways like that!

Maxtheone You are a Teamspeed member that Rocks and Rolls!

Since when is a Corvette heavy? Especially the ZR1 is not heavy at all!
Nice Video though.

The ZR1 is 3400 lbs. That is quite porky.

It's not hard to get any Vette sideways, especially the incredibly tail happy ZR1. The Vette doesn't have much steering angle, which may be what the driver is struggling with.

Not in my understanding! It's not that much heavier than a 458 or the new 991 GT3...
When talking about a driver struggling with the weight of a car I rather think of an Audi RS6 or something...
