How Do You Make A Corvette Do 200 MPH In Four Seconds? Get A Hemi.
How Do You Make A Corvette Do 200 MPH In Four Seconds? Get A Hemi.-February 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:33

This car started out as a bone-stock new Chevrolet Corvette. What it has become is a drag radial monster with a 4,000 horsepower twin-turbo Hemi good for 200 mph in 4.05 seconds.

This is Andrew Alepa’s car and well, not much of the original Corvette is left. The small block Chevy is gone and the actual chassis of the car has made an exit, too. notes that this is a full tube-frame chassis with a 548 cubic-inch “Outlaw” Hemi tucked under the hood. Under the nose are two 102 mm Precision Turbochargers, which explains the power output.

Whether or not this thing still counts as a Corvette is up for debate, I suppose.

They say the only things with bigger wings than this 1,600-horsepower race car exist solely in angelic texts. They say, even, that the wings on the GT-R could be bigger. The estimates vary. (“They, as in whom?” you might ask. No idea. Ask someone who uses that phrase as...

This Might Just Be the Coolest Livery of the 2019 Indy 500
While plenty of teams and drivers have yet to reveal the cars they’ll be running in this year’s , I’m pretty confident when I say that Andretti Autosport has already blown all its competitors out of the water. Livery-wise, that is. Today, the team has revealed the car that...

F1's Miami Grand Prix, Which Is Not Happening, Is Now Officially Not Happening
