The driver of a Chevy Camaro Convertible was filmed performing donuts on the New Jersey Turnpike last weekend after his collaborators blocked traffic.
A Reddit user filmed the illegal drifting sideshow on Sunday and posted it to the /r/IdiotsInCars subreddit shortly after. The video shows three Chevy Camaros conspiring to make this ill-considered sideshow happen: a silver sixth-generation Chevy Camaro Convertible performing the donuts and two red coupe models blocking traffic and watching on. One of the red Camaros is a sixth-generation model, while the other is an older fifth-gen. The passenger in the red fifth-gen Camaro also appears to be filming his buddy with a GoPro camera, so a different angle of this sideshow likely exists out there somewhere.
Local news has yet to report on this incident and police have not issued a statement on the matter, so it seems as though the drivers of these Chevys, which all appear to have New Jersey plates, may have gotten away with their little stunt. Then again, their license plates are also on display in this clip, so perhaps the police will be paying them a visit in the near future. The video appears to have been filmed on the I-78 heading westbound near the Port Newark container terminal.
Unfortunately, it’s not that uncommon to see drifting sideshows like this on the highway in major metropolitan areas across the country. Back in 2019, illegal drifting sideshows became so common in the Oakland area that city leaders demanded the police to take more action to prevent and stop such activities. Sideshows like these sometimes attract hundreds of onlookers as well, and gained popularity in certain areas amid the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a report from the BBC.

This is why sports cars need a special license to buy & drive.
To many idiots in the world so we need tough licensing.
Don’t make it more difficult for Sam to get his favorite car, I’m sure he’d love to have that convertible so he could stair at the sky and look for airplanes.
How about a follow up story (research) on whether these idiots get busted Sam.
Takeovers and sideshows are ruining the car scene.
Run the plates, arrest the fools, fine them back to the Stone Age and impound the cars. Done deal.
It’s nice to see somebody using GAS before they take it away from us. I rather see this then the drive by shooting we have over here on the freeway of Chicago..
This is just after the toll booths for exit 14 in Newark. The section of I-78 just ahead is a known drag race road at night. I’ve seen basically Pro Stock cars come off trailers here to race.
You anyone who sells cheap Tires ?
Plenty of cheap tires. Few are inexpensive.
Way to go dumb asses
Glad to see people enjoying their cars. Harmless fun that lasted under a minute. Good for them.
