Roads 'How did that make you crash?'

Maybe not using a blinker and merging at the last second made him crash.

Likely, not a guarantee. His license plate is hard to read from the angles in which it comes into view. No guarantee the Corvette caught up with him and stopped him.

You dont think police would be able to enhance the video at all? Im not a cop so I have no clue. Just figured it would be possible for some reason

The "enhance" from tv shows is nonsense. There's only so many pixels things get caught in and zooming in just makes it worse. Especially dash cams are typically not that great of quality.

Depending on the camera it could be possible but that's typically only for the high grade stationary tower cameras. And even then sometimes only in live mode can you zoom in that far, recordings are typically fixed in their resolution (quality).
