[VIDEO] Dealership Captures Transport Driver Abusing an Owner’s New Cammed C7 Corvette

Most Corvette buyers expect a little anxiety when their car leaves the dealership on a transport truck. What they don’t expect is proof that they weren’t just being paranoid. That’s exactly what happened to TikTok user StingerStung, whose dealership captured a transport driver thrashing his new-to-him, modified C7 Corvette before it ever left the lot.

The dealership footage zooms in on the Arctic White coupe as the transport driver fires up the cold engine and immediately hammers the throttle to redline several times. No warm up. No hesitation. Just a long, aggressive rev session on an engine that hadn’t even reached operating temperature. The clip, posted to TikTok, has now passed 2.3 million views.

According to the owner, the Corvette wasn’t stock — it had already been fitted with an aftermarket camshaft, a modification that requires a careful break in period. New valvetrain components need controlled heat cycles to seat properly. A cold start redline does the opposite, forcing unlubricated metal surfaces together before oil pressure stabilizes. For a freshly cammed engine, that can mean accelerated wear or early failure.

The driver was reportedly dispatched by H&T Transportation through Nexus Auto Transport, companies the owner now warns others to avoid. Viewers were quick to point out that the person filming had time to record a long clip, suggesting the revving wasn’t a momentary lapse but a deliberate choice.

Beyond the outrage, the situation highlights a real problem for performance car owners: mechanical damage is difficult to prove. Transport companies carry liability insurance, but internal engine harm often requires a teardown to document — an expensive step most owners hope to avoid. In this case, the dealership’s video may be the only thing protecting the buyer.

For anyone shipping a high-performance vehicle, the takeaway is simple: document everything, research carriers thoroughly, and consider enclosed transport with handlers who understand enthusiast machinery. A careful handoff is far cheaper than rebuilding an engine you never got to enjoy.
