Corvette Z06s Throw Down in Supercharged Street Racing Action

C5, C6 and C7 Corvette Z06s beat Mustangs, Camaro and a turbo truck.

The video above comes to us from the Street Car Videos YouTube channel and as the title promises, it features 10 minutes of quality street racing with a handful of Corvette Z06 coupes leading the charge. There is an assortment of vehicles of other makes and models, including a couple quick Ford Mustangs, a couple quick Cadillacs, a bottled Camaro and a wicked turbocharged Silverado, but there is no question that the trip of Z06 coupes put on the best show.

Z06 Battles

The video begins with a quick look at each of the Corvettes involved, including a supercharged C5 Z06, a supercharged C6 Z06 and a cammed C7 Z06. As they take to the street, the C5 and C6 race first, with the older car walking away with ease. Next, the C7 takes on the C5 and while the LT4 car takes an early lead, the C5 ends up pulling back around at high speed.

After that, the C6 and C7 race a handful of times, several of which are throw-out runs. For some reason, the C6 doesn’t start on the first run and the C7 doesn’t go on the second. Fortunately, the third run was clean and the C7 Corvette Z06 handed out a beating.

In Come the Mustangs

Next, a pair of Paxton-supercharged Ford Mustang GTs go head to head and trade wins, followed by a third Mustang that used turbo power to pummel the supercharged pony car with 880 horsepower.

A Magnuson-supercharged Cadillac CTS-V coupe rolls up next for a shot at the 880-horsepower Ford, but while the Caddy is said to have more than 900 horsepower, the Mustang takes the win in back-to-back battles.

Turbo Chevy Pickup

The next segment features an assortment of high performance vehicles, but the most unusual is a turbocharged Chevrolet Silverado 1500. This half-ton truck takes on a bottled 5^th gen Camaro and beats it with ease before taking on and beating a tuned CTS-V. After both losing to the truck that CTS-V and Camaro go at it and the Cadillac takes the easy win.

The big truck then takes on two different Ford Mustangs and while the Chevy held the early lead, the smaller, lighter pony cars both got the win on the top end.

The Main Event

After watching so many different vehicles battle on the highway, the final run of the lengthy video might be the best. It pits a worked C6 Corvette ZR1 against the turbocharged Mustang GT from earlier in the video. This white Mustang stomped the newer supercharged pony car, making it the strongest Ford in the video, but it proves to be no match for the supercharged Chevy.

"Before I was old enough to walk, my dad was taking me to various types of racing events, from local drag racing to the Daytona 500," says Patrick Rall, a lifetime automotive expert, diehard Dodge fan, and respected auto journalist for over 10 years. "He owned a repair shop and had a variety of performance cars when I was young, but by the time I was 16, he was ready to build me my first drag car – a 1983 Dodge Mirada that ran low 12s. I spent 10 years traveling around the country, racing with my dad by my side. While we live in different areas of the country, my dad still drag races at 80 years old in the car that he built when I was 16 while I race other vehicles, including my 2017 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat and my 1972 Dodge Demon 340.

"Although I went to college for accounting, my time in my dad’s shop growing up allowed me the knowledge to spend time working as a mechanic before getting my accounting degree, at which point I worked in the office of a dealership group. While I was working in the accounting world, I continued racing and taking pictures of cars at the track. Over time, I began showing off those pictures online and that led to my writing.

"Ten years ago, I left the accounting world to become a full-time automotive writer and I am living proof that if you love what you do, you will never “work” a day in your life," adds Rall, who has clocked in time as an auto mechanic, longtime drag racer and now automotive journalist who contributes to nearly a dozen popular auto websites dedicated to fellow enthusiasts.

"I love covering the automotive industry and everything involved with the job. I was fortunate to turn my love of the automotive world into a hobby that led to an exciting career, with my past of working as a mechanic and as an accountant in the automotive world provides me with a unique perspective of the industry.

"My experience drag racing for more than 20 years coupled with a newfound interest in road racing over the past decade allows me to push performance cars to their limit, while my role as a horse stable manager gives me vast experience towing and hauling with all of the newest trucks on the market today.

"Being based on Detroit," says Rall, "I never miss the North American International Auto Show, the Woodward Dream Cruise and Roadkill Nights, along with spending plenty of time raising hell on Detroit's Woodward Avenue with the best muscle car crowd in the world.
