Default Fire breathing, turbocharged C5 Corvette rolls out



We don't know much about this fire breathing, turbocharged C5 Corvette with its side-exit exhaust, but we do know it's seriously fast! It eats up the two C6s (and one's a Z06) with ease, chews up and spits out a Fox-body notch and with a little more boost it would've likely run down the literbike.
If anyone has more info on this monster please enlighten us. In the meantime, turn up your speakers and listen to this boosted Vette on the two-step and spanking the competition.

Damn!

Just crazy how much power some street cars are pushing today. I'd also be interested to know what's going on under the hood.

it has no chance against that liter bike with only a "few" more pounds of boost. Id guess that c5 is making 700

the turbo c5 z06 was running on a 700hp tune. its a rearmount turbo car. pretty capable of running up to 1400 rwhp. the 79 mustang notchback also a single turbo car was making about 600rwhp with a powerglide blowing thru its 3k stall that night. either car was really only a tune away from making a easy kill out of those crotchrockets. as for the cyber grey c6 z06, its stock!

I'm not sure what your definition of a few more pounds is but...a few to me is 3-5. If that Vette had 800 whp...I'm sure it wouldn't have that much of an issue running down a STOCK liter bike.

Why do people post a video and say that "X" car with a few more pounds of boost would run down "Y" car and you never see a video of "X" on full boost?

LOL? Throw the tune on it and post the video. Otherwise its all speculation...

I could easily say I can just turn the boost up and run with UGR Lambos.. but its not always that easy and if he could do it, why didnt he?

As ive always said in racing, its typically safe to say most come prepared to "try" and win a race. Leaving something on the table is just a built in excuse for yourself.
