My guess is that they dubbed a sound clip of a diesel truck tearing it up and added it to the video of the corvette burning out.

There are a couple of noticeable inconsistencies in that video that would point to it being fake.

My Jaguar has a very refined diesel. Pulls like a champ and great gas mileage.

Why?

saw a video on youtube of this, it was in a white C5

sounded pretty sick, kinda got me thinking

I would imagine that it wouldn't be too hard to convert it over...

Heck, this guy made a Buick Grand National clone using a Duramax diesel:
