Chevrolet C5 Corvette Loses To A Skateboard, Kind Of (Video)

Corvette C5 Convertible Gnarboard Drag Race

Bet that’s something you’d never thought to read. A skateboard out-hustling a C5 Corvette in a drag race? We admit the title doesn’t do the story justice, as the skateboard in question is something called a Gnarboard, which is summed up as a “gnarly electric skateboard”.

After a set of 75-foot passes, the Gnarboard got the win over the ‘Vette twice, while the other finishes in the video are debatable. Sure, a measly 75 feet is nothing for a Corvette as its wheels are just beginning to hook up, but it does speak to how fast this little electric skateboard is off the line. Imagine zipping through the city in one.

    Good thing it wasn’t a 76 ft. drag race.
