Blown Corvette beats multiple Camaros, Mustang and other Corvettes in high speed roll races.
Today we bring you some fantastic highway racing action featuring a spread of American performance cars, focusing on a supercharged Chevrolet Corvette. This C6 takes on other Corvettes, a couple Camaros and a couple Mustangs from a roll and in almost every case, the Vortech-boosted Chevy sports car takes the win.
The High Performance Competitors
This video from the Shots By Jacob YouTube channelbegins with a walk-around of the key cars, including a YSI-supercharged C6 Corvette, a “Boosted” 5th generation Camaro, a 900-horsepower C6 Corvette ZR1, an 850-horsepower Mustang with a Paxton-supercharged 5.0-liter V8, a twin turbocharged 5th generation Camaro and a twin turbocharged 2018 Ford Mustang GT.
There is also a tuned C7 Z06 with 700 horsepower that we don’t see until the cars hit the street, but the bottom line here is that thousands of horsepower worth of American muscle is on display in this video.
The Racing Action
Each of the races shown in the video above are captured from inside of the YSI-supercharged Corvette as it takes on all of the competitors. The C6 begins by beating the boosted Camaro and the 900-horsepower C6 Corvette ZR1 with relative ease. Next, it takes on the Paxton Mustang GT in a pair of races and in both, the Chevy leads the race from beginning to end.
The C7 Corvette Z06 is no match for the YSI-blown C6, but the twin turbo Camaro provides the best battle, forcing the Vette to win the race with a big pull on the top end.
Finally, the toughest battles come versus the twin turbocharged 2018 Mustang GT, as the two go head-to-head three times. In the first run, the Mustang jumps out to an early lead with the Corvette catching up on the big end and in the second run, the Corvette takes the early lead and the win.
On the third race, something seems to go wrong with the C6, as the Mustang jumps out to an early lead and just keeps on walking away, handing the supercharged Chevy its worst loss of the night.
"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.
