The battle between the new 2026 Corvette ZR1 and McLaren’s 765LT made for a killer 1/4 mile matchup, and the results speak for themselves. Featuring Chevrolet’s most powerful Corvette ever, the ZR1 comes to the line with a supercharged LT6 V8 reportedly putting down around 1,065 horsepower, giving it the kind of straight-line punch that has recently pushed it into hypercar territory. Lined up next to it is McLaren’s ultra-light 765LT, a twin-turbo V8 exotic rated at roughly 755 horsepower and well known for its balance, aerodynamics, and low curb weight—attributes that typically shine more on road courses than drag Read More

The new Corvette ZR1 has officially crossed into supercar—and even hypercar—territory. Clocking a staggering 9.2-second quarter mile at 153 MPH, this is no longer just a fast Corvette. This is a purpose-built weapon designed to dominate the drag strip while remaining shockingly usable. Controlled Violence Off the Line What makes this ZR1 run so impressive isn’t just the number—it’s how the car gets there. Despite monstrous power on tap, the ZR1 does an incredible job of regulating power in the lower gears, keeping the car planted instead of overwhelming the tires. The result is a clean, drama-free launch that feels Read More

We recently took a 1,064-horsepower Chevrolet Corvette C8 ZR1 to the drag strip for a head-to-head race against my daily driver, the Tesla Model S Plaid. It was the ultimate gas vs. electric showdown—raw turbocharged power against silent, instant torque. Off the line, the ZR1 launched hard with rear-wheel drive fury, while the Plaid responded with its trademark all-wheel grip and seamless acceleration. As we tore down the quarter-mile, it was neck and neck, each car pushing the limits in its own way. This wasn’t just a race—it was a clash of two eras, and a look at where performance Read More

By Brooks Weisblat In a head-turning quarter-mile drag race, the 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 goes up against the Lamborghini Revuelto, pitting American muscle against Italian hybrid engineering. The ZR1, pushing an incredible 1,064 horsepower through its rear wheels, represents a raw, unapologetic approach to speed. In contrast, the Lamborghini Revuelto brings 1,001 horsepower to the table with a high-tech V12 hybrid powertrain and the added grip of all-wheel drive.

This is a “good news/bad news” clip. First the good news: You are about to see the baddest COPO (Central Office Production Order) Chevrolet Camaro ever produced by General Motors. The bad news? Only three of these Bad Rat Camaros will ever be built. Every gearhead whose heart pumps motor oil has dreamt of having a COPO car built to their specifications.

This twin turbo Velocity Ford F-150 is a must-see machine. You’d better look fast because this clip features high-powered roll racing from the streets (of Mexico). After some spirited negotiating, it has been determined that the twin turbo Ford will be racing a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 with the camshaft and heads upgraded as well as a Kong ported blower. They’ll be running for $1,000 cash (monopoly money). As these two cruisers pull onto the interstate, traffic seems to part like the Red Sea. The two vehicles pull alongside and come up to speed. Suddenly, both machines explode in fits of Read More

If your Cowboy Cadillac just ain’t cutting the muster (performance wise), this clip is for you. The crew at Stangkilr Productions is all set to give us the 4-1-1 on how to build a quick pickup without springing for a supercharger or turbocharger setup. Here’s a brief history of the build as well as the latest upgrades. After a fire wiped out their (5.3-liter) twin turbo GMC pickup, these guys made the decision to go in a different direction. They chose a base model 2024 GMC Sierra as a donor to repair their totaled project truck. The cab was bolted Read More

What do we have here? Looks like a supercar slugfest between a hybrid Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray and a gas guzzling McLaren 600LT. That’s Long Tail, gearheads. Promoting this U-drag contest is none other than DragTimes own Brooks Weisblat. While the rear-wheel drive McLaren 600LT tips the scale at 3,300 pounds, the all-wheel drive Corvette E-Ray has a GVW of 4,100 pounds. The weight differential will likely help to offset the extra 93hp delivered by the hybrid Chevy. The McLaren 600LT utilizes a twin turbocharged 3.8-liter V8 to produce 562hp. GM opted for the combination of a naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8 Read More
