Video: Smoky Donuts in a Cutaway C3 Corvette

The folks at Corvette Specialties of Mounds View, Minnesota, seem like our kind of people. Not only do they have a running “cutaway” C3 Corvette to help promote all the parts in their inventory, but they’re also not afraid to flog it a little bit in the name of fun.
