2024 C8 of the Year Finalist - Unmodified
Default World's Fastest C8

I thought the members who like to modify their C8 would get a kick out of this article. Make sure to watch the entire video. It's very cool.

I live about an hour away from Fuel Tech and he uses the same shop to ceramic coat his cars, and this Corvette, that I use. I've seen this car up close and the twin turbos are very impressive. The owner of Fuel Tech I'm told is a very smart and very nice guy. It didn't surprise me at all when he finally got this car up to speed. I saw it before he had everything figured out to get it to the speed you will see at the beginning of the video.

Enjoy!

So the car ran 6.56 in the 1/8th. That's a mid to low 10 second 1/4. Doesn't seem that impressive for 1300hp and all the time and money they've spent on this car. Carlos Rios is running mid 10s with a tire and bolt-on's only.

That is correct about Carlos Rios, Carl Messenger and Snowblind. Those guys are mid 10s with bolt ons.

OK, but none of them can claim to be the fastest C8 in the world.

Fuel Tech, (the owner) is the worlds fastest C8 at 8.9 1/4 mile
. If that's what you are looking for.
