A father-son bonding trip to a car meet ended up costing way more than expected when their high-horsepower metal—a gnarly Corvette Z06 and a brawny Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing—decided to get way too friendly outside the event. The whole mess got immortalized in a viral clip that’s now burning up everyone’s feeds.

Some bystander’s smartphone caught it all: a sleek black-and-blue C7 ‘vette easing into a right turn like it had all the time in the world. Then, bam. A supercharged Caddy comes barging into the shot, hauling way too much speed. Tires scream, but it’s too little, too late.
The Blackwing jerks sideways in a last-ditch effort to avoid wrecking Sunday’s pride and joy, but physics had other plans. It smacks the ‘vette’s hindquarters, turning carbon fiber and plastic into roadside confetti. The Corvette goes spinning onto the lawn while the Cadillac decides it’s had enough and stops just beyond the chaos.
Turns out Dad was piloting the Cadillac, Junior was manning the Corvette. That poor Z06 took it right in the ribs—rear bodywork smashed like a beer can at a tailgate. Nobody’s sure yet if the Blackwing’s front end got off easy or if it’s hiding some ugly secrets.
Miraculously, both guys crawled out just fine. But this little paint-swapping session proved something brutal: even gearheads with years under their belts can forget just how long it takes to wrangle 650-plus horses to a halt.

And oh yeah, it put some numbers on the board. The ‘vette’s supercharged 6.2-liter V8 punches out scary power—but the Blackwing’s LT4? Just had to one-up the kid with 668 angry ponies.
Online trolls wasted no time crowning this the “family fender bender of the year.” More than a few predicted a lifetime of Thanksgiving dinner teasing. Ouch.
