This week’s Dyno Blast video features a C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray with the LT1 V8 on the dyno.

Jeff Gordon is one of the most well known NASCAR drivers in history, and it’s easy to see why. The man has won the Daytona 500 three times, and the full Sprint Cup Championship a total of four times.

There are two things that are really making me go crazy right now. The new Corvette Stingray, both in regular and Z06 flavor, and anything that John Hennessey is building.

Rumors of a mid-engined Corvette have been around for about as long as I’ve been alive. But lately, there murmurs have grown to a roar.

During his testing of the car, it appears that he gets pulled over for speeding as well. I suppose that’s always a possibility in a car that makes 650 horsepower and 650 lbs/ft of torque!

2014 might go down in history as the year of the engine. The Mopar guys have their 707 horsepower Hellcat. The Mustang guys have a flat-plane crank 5.2L V8. We get a supercharged 6.2L V8.

“Turn that music down!” That’s a go-to phrase for a stereotypical, crotchety old man. He usually shouts it at a young “punk” who’s blaring rock music out of his stereo’s speakers.
