Default Is This the Meanest C7 Corvette You've Ever Seen?



This Corvette is so fast that just watching the video of this thing blasting off had me scurrying for a seat belt while sitting at my desk.

I thought real drag racing was a 1/4 mile. What's up with this wanna be 1/8th mile BS?

Yep, it's quick, it's loud, kinda ugly. And might have trouble getting the last half of the race finished.
Never cared for the 1/8 stuff.

1/4 mile or 1/8 mile.... Still a sweet C7

1/8 mile door slammer racing is where all the big boys are racing now days down here in the South. Nice car.

At the Gatornationals this year there were a few C7s in the Pro Mod class. This was the JEGS car they unveiled there and I believe won. I am a blur standing along the fence 3/4 way down the track.

Kind of reminds me of the small local drag strip near me, also 1/8 mile.

I'm guessing this puppy doesn't shift into V4 mode.
Probably the ugliest C7 I've seen but has to be that way for performance. Awesome launch and run.
