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.-August 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.

One Photo Reminds Us Max Verstappen Is Really Good At This
The Hungarian Grand Prix certainly didn’t go the way Max Verstappen wanted, as the Dutchman was punted off in the first corner by a hydroplaning Valtteri Bottas and forced to spend the rest of the afternoon managing a chassis with severe damage. How severe? If you caught the “passenger”...

Red Bull Set A Dangerous Precedent Demanding Competitors Pay For Crash Damage
We have spent over about crash damage, placing blame, and off-track demands for reprimand and fair compensation in Formula One.
