The 2006 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is capable of making 1,500hp. Today, it is detuned to 1200hp. The transmission is a 2-speed RPM Powerglide and the car tips the scale at 3,400-pounds. Powered by a 427 cubic-inch LSx twin turbo (68-millimeter) motor, the Z06 is rear-wheel drive. This ‘Vette has run a 5.5-second eighth-mile (@130 mph) and can turn the quarter-mile in the mid-eight second range.
With a distinct weight advantage, the 1927 Dodge Brothers Lunch Money Hot Rod comes in at 2,700-pounds. This rail job utilizes a 388 cubic-inch twin turbo (60-millimeter) LS engine to churn out 600hp. This monster is shifted via an ATI ProGlide Powerglide transmission and it is also rear-wheel drive.
Awesome camera angles and superior production value in this video.
Enough gab. Time for some racing.
