Corvettes take turns beating on the competition in the streets of Mexico.
This week’s Kill Stories video features a collection of street races with a few different Chevrolet Corvette coupes beating up on a variety of different vehicles. This clip was initially posted on the forum by KFC_Or_Bust with the video being hosted at his KFCOrBust YouTube Channel. He calls the video Sunday Funday Volume 3 and it is packed with great racing action.
The competitors
This video above includes a wide variety of performance cars. There is an 860whp Evo 9, a 900whp C6 Corvette ZR1, an 820whp C6 Corvette Z06, a 785whp C6 Corvette ZR1, a 900whp C7 Corvette Z06, a “bolt-on” Hayabusa, a 680whp Shelby GT500 Mustang and a Gen 5 Dodge Viper. The video includes three racing segments with varying camera cars and competitors in each run, all of which are great racers.
The roads in Mexico sure look nice
The racing action with the 860whp Evo 9 taking on the 900whp C6 ZR1 and the 820whp C6 Z06. Not surprisingly, the ZR1 crushed the Evo twice. Mean while the Z06 also beats the Mitsubishi pretty comfortably, with the Corvette walking away from the Japanese compact.
Next, a C6 Corvette ZR1 with 785whp takes on a C7 Z06 with 900whp (this is the still above). As you might expect, the C7 hands the older car a beating. The C6 hangs with the C7 at first, but as speeds climb, the newer Corvette pulls away. The C6 camera car then takes on the Hayabusa, with the motorcycle jumping out to an early lead. Once the Corvette gets some traction, it catches and passes the bike. The C6 ZR1 finishes its time as the camera car by crushing the Mustang GT500 twice before losing traction on the third run.
Finally, the last segment has a few different camera cars, beginning with a bottled Dodge Viper. Like the Corvettes, the Viper crushes the GT500. We then move inside of the Mustang as it takes on the 900whp C7, leading to another sound beating for the GT500. The video ends with the yellow C6 Z06 taking on the 900whp C7, resulting in one more big win for the new Z06.
In the ends, Sunday Funday turned out to be a buffet for the Corvettes, with them eating up just about everything.
"Before I was old enough to walk, my dad was taking me to various types of racing events, from local drag racing to the Daytona 500," says Patrick Rall, a lifetime automotive expert, diehard Dodge fan, and respected auto journalist for over 10 years. "He owned a repair shop and had a variety of performance cars when I was young, but by the time I was 16, he was ready to build me my first drag car – a 1983 Dodge Mirada that ran low 12s. I spent 10 years traveling around the country, racing with my dad by my side. While we live in different areas of the country, my dad still drag races at 80 years old in the car that he built when I was 16 while I race other vehicles, including my 2017 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat and my 1972 Dodge Demon 340.
"Although I went to college for accounting, my time in my dad’s shop growing up allowed me the knowledge to spend time working as a mechanic before getting my accounting degree, at which point I worked in the office of a dealership group. While I was working in the accounting world, I continued racing and taking pictures of cars at the track. Over time, I began showing off those pictures online and that led to my writing.
"Ten years ago, I left the accounting world to become a full-time automotive writer and I am living proof that if you love what you do, you will never “work” a day in your life," adds Rall, who has clocked in time as an auto mechanic, longtime drag racer and now automotive journalist who contributes to nearly a dozen popular auto websites dedicated to fellow enthusiasts.
"I love covering the automotive industry and everything involved with the job. I was fortunate to turn my love of the automotive world into a hobby that led to an exciting career, with my past of working as a mechanic and as an accountant in the automotive world provides me with a unique perspective of the industry.
"My experience drag racing for more than 20 years coupled with a newfound interest in road racing over the past decade allows me to push performance cars to their limit, while my role as a horse stable manager gives me vast experience towing and hauling with all of the newest trucks on the market today.
