This Corvette is so fast it does a wheelie

The Chevrolet Corvette is a fast car in itself. The standard car is not enough for the tuners at Extreme Turbo Systems (ETS). They make a C8 so powerful that it can do a wheelie and extremely high speed Quarter mile lasts.

In Europe we often discuss things zero to a hundred times. In America the Quarter mile is also considered an important measurement. A quarter mile is 402 meters. Many American drag racing tracks are designed for this distance.

Extremely fast

This Chevrolet Corvette of the C8 generation lays the foundation Quarter mile was finished in 8.644 seconds. At the end of the 402 meters, the sports car reaches a speed of 276 kilometers per hour.

The Corvette is therefore not standard. The fastest version, the Z06, still delivers 670 hp.

Modifications to the Chevrolet Corvette C8

This updated example features a V8 that produces 1,385 horsepower. This performance is due in part to two Precision Turbo 6870 Gen 2 turbos.

With the increased turbo pressure, the engine block also had to be significantly strengthened. That’s why the Corvette has new pistons, connecting rods and a different head. You can’t achieve more than 600 hp with just more air, which is why a new fuel system was installed that creates real turbulence in the tank. The engine delivers its extreme performance not in petrol mode, but in the C85. This is a special racing fuel with a very high octane number.

In addition to the engine settings, the wheels and the sticky game Drag strip an important role in the Corvette’s grip. The combination of grip, power and the lack of an engine block in the nose ensures that the American does a wheelie. What a spectacle!
