Ever wondered what would happen if you replaced a car’s wheels with saw blades and drove it across a frozen lake? Well, that’s exactly what Westen Champlin did in his latest video.
The star of the show was a lifted, off-road C5 Corvette, but instead of its usual tires, they bolted on custom-made, half-inch-thick saw blades. These weren’t your average saw blades—they were heavy, sharp, and designed to cut through just about anything. The goal? To see if this 400-horsepower V8 “saw” could handle the icy terrain without falling through the ice.
Before hitting the frozen lake, they tested the Corvette on gravel and dirt. The saw blades dug deep into the ground, making it a challenge to drive, but it was oddly satisfying to see the car plow through the terrain like a giant metal lawnmower.
On the frozen lake, the saw blades were both terrifying and mesmerizing. The car shook violently, and every time I hit the gas, it felt like the blades were digging into the ice. But somehow, it worked. With a little help from a plow truck to get it moving, the Corvette glided across the ice, leaving deep cuts in its wake. It was equal parts exhilarating and nerve-wracking.
In the end, they proved that, yes, you can drive a Corvette on saw blades across a frozen lake. But should you do it, too? Probably not. If you’re ever tempted to try something this crazy, just remember: saw blades and ice don’t mix well, but they sure make for an unforgettable story.
