It’s a supercharged Chevy beat down on this turbo Mustang.
This video comes to us from the Street Car Video YouTube channel and it features a series of highway roll races. Included in the action is a supercharged C7 Corvette, turbocharged 5.0 Mustang GT, a built Nissan GTR and a couple of sport bikes. There are no details on the GTR or the sport bikes, but we know that the C7 is fitted with a ProCharger F1X. That means it’s yielding more than 1,100 wheel horsepower while the Ford Mustang GT is fitted with a single turbo setup which also leads to more than a 1,000 wheel horsepower.
After introductions of the cars and a short in-car pull with the Mustang, the video begins with the ProCharged Corvette and the turbo Mustang making a series of highway pulls. The action is filmed from the Mustang and on the three count, both cars hit it with the Corvette handing out a beating in the first run.
During the second run, the Mustang is slightly ahead in a tight race when it allegedly jumps out of gear, allowing the Corvette to easily take the win and on the third run, the Corvette begins to pull away right as the Mustang shifts into neutral again. On the fourth and final run between these two, the Mustang gets an early lead and the Corvette seems to give up, leading us to wonder if maybe there weren’t some traction issues.
After the Mustang and the Corvette square off, the Mustang makes a few runs against the GTR and the Nissan wins soundly each time. You will notice that the Mustang doesn’t have any transmission issues against the Nissan.
Finally, the video ends with the ProCharged Corvette running a couple of sport bikes and after watching how the 1,100whp supercar handled the turbo Mustang, it is incredible to watch how easily the sport bikes walk away from the Vette.
"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.
