Multi-Generational Corvette Roll Racing Action

C5, C6 and C7 Corvette coupes with nitrous and aftermarket superchargers duke it out on the street.

The footage above comes to us from the Street Car Video YouTube channel so as you can imagine, it is chock full of thrilling street racing action and in these clips, the Chevrolet Corvette is the star of the show. Technically, several Corvettes star in this video as Chevy supercars from the C5, C6 and C7 era go head-to-head on the street. One Vette even takes the time to beat down a new, supercharged Ford Mustang GT.

Like many of these highway roll racing videos on YouTube, this one begins with a look at the cars at rest in a local parking lot. Based on the array of high performance cars waiting to hit the street, you know that the racing action is going to be solid.

This first segment shows a white C6 Corvette ZR1, a red C6 Grand Sport, a ProCharged C5, a built C6 on the bottle and a couple Mustangs, Hellcats and motorcycles that we don’t see racing.

When the racing action begins, the descriptions aren’t always clear enough to tell which cars from the intro are participating in the given race, but that really doesn’t matter.

In the first race, a black ProCharged C5 takes on a bottled Vette which might be the black car from the intro, but we aren’t sure. When they hammer down on the third honk, the C5 hops out at first, but the nitrous car closes and passes for the win.

Next, the “Nitrous Corvette” takes on a red C5 with nitrous, and while the red car takes the easy win, it appears as though something in the braking system failed at the end of the race, as sparks pour from the driver’s side front wheel when the two slow down.

The third and fourth races have the nitrous Corvette taking on a C6 ZR1 with unspecified bolt-ons. All we know is that it needs more bolt-ons, as the bottle car hands out a beating on the first race and in the second race, the ZR1 takes the early lead, but the camera car closes for the win.

After several videos showing the Nitrous Corvette, the video focuses on a ProCharged C6 as it takes three others Vettes. In a battle with a bottled C7 Z06, the ProCharged car takes the big win. When racing a C6 ZR1 with heads and a new cam, the race is just about dead even, but a Magnuson-supercharged C7 Z06 proves to be too much, with the Maggie car handing out a beating.

However, these two run again with the ProCharged car turning on the nitrous and in this race, the ProCharged package takes the win.

The video ends with a Whipple-supercharged late model Ford Mustang GT taking on a 900-horsepower Corvette C6 without any mod list. The Mustang jumps out early and appears to have the race in hand, but the Corvette takes the win on the big end.

"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.
