Drastically Modified Street Hits – 60 to 160 MPH

July 12th, 2024

Here’s a match between a pair of drastically modified street cruisers. This grudge race pits Chevy against Ford – as it has been for decades. Representing the bowtie brigade is the Chevrolet Corvette Z06. With a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 raging underneath the hood, the Z06 version of the Corvette can produce 650hp in stock condition. However, this ‘Vette is far from stock. The engine has been upgraded with a high-performance camshaft, full bolt-ons and it is tuned to burn E85 fuel. The supercharger is also ported and there’s a 150hp kit of nitrous on this baby. The car looks menacing Read More

Tonight, he will have a chance to put his money where his mouth is as he lines it up against a modified Corvette Z06.
