The engineering required to push a Corvette under nine seconds
In short: Watch as Rob Dahm puts the world’s fastest C8 Corvette to the test. This video explores the extreme mechanical modifications necessary to achieve elite drag strip performance.
This modified modern beast features a dual turbocharger system and a methanol fuel cell, supplemented with a dash of nitrous to produce over 1,350 horsepower. It represents a significant engineering feat as it is the first Corvette to complete a quarter mile in under nine seconds. The footage captures the vehicle's performance on a professional drag strip.
