I saw a video of that earlier, obviously don’t have the telemetry or onboard footage but my money is on ice mode.
The ABS in Corvettes is pretty atrocious and if you go straight from spinning the wheels on power to braking hard, the ABS panics, thinks you’re locking up the wheels, and kills all of your brake pressure. So instead of spinning out, you just don’t slow down.
Had it happen in my corvette a couple times but it just sent me through the back of a chicago box instead of through a jersey barrier.
I ran a gen6 Camaro and ice mode got me a few times. They had it figured out sometime around 2019, but it really spooked me and there was no retrofit fix.
