Supercharged, LSX-powered C6 Corvette is wicked fast from a roll and sounds incredible.
The video above comes to us from the Street Car Video YouTube channeland it features one of the nastiest C6 Corvette street cars we have seen in action. In the course of this three-minute video, this Vette absolutely decimates a handful of very respectable performance cars, ranging from other Corvettesto a bottled Dodge Charger Hellcat.
Really, the only competition came from a built C6 ZR1 that still took the loss and a pair of street bikes that remind us that the quickest cars are still slower than the quickest motorcycles.
900 Horsepower C6
The star of this show is a black C6 Corvette and while the details are short, we know that it has some variety of LSX engine fitted with a Vortech YSI supercharger, resulting in 900 horsepower. We are going to guess that to be 900 wheel horsepower, based on the results of this racing footage. Also, we don’t know what transmission is in this car, but it seems to be a well-shifted manual and the car clearly has big, sticky tires out back.
As for the other vehicles in the video, there are even less details. We don’t know anything about the motorcycles and we have only sparse details on the other cars, but what we do know is that this black C6 takes every other car to task on the street.
Vette-on-Vette Action
During the course of this video, the 900-horsepower C6 Corvette races three other Vettes. The first is a C7 Z06 with nitrous that hangs with the hero car for a bit, but then disappears out back at higher speeds. The second Corvette battle comes with the “Dark 1” C7 Z06, which takes a worse beating than the first LT4 car.
The final Vette-on-Vette race is the best, with the 900-horsepower C6 taking on a C6 ZR1 with heads and a cam upgrade. The ZR1 holds the early lead and stays alongside better than any other car in the video, but in the end, the black YSI-supercharged C6 rolls to the win.
C6 Versus Everyone Else
In addition to racing the three other Corvettes, the 900-horsepower C6 also faced off against a Ford Mustang GT, a Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat and a pair of sport bikes. The sport bikes beat the Corvette badly, but in the case of the Mustang and the Charger, the supercharged Corvette handed out a merciless beating. For some reason, the Hellcat came back for a second round and the result was no different from the first beating.
"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.
