Porsche 918 Spyder vs. Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Drag Race Is a Big Surprise

Then again, when we're talking about a member of the HHHT (Holy Hybrid Hypercar Trinity) and a Chevy whose mission is to play the supercar role while keeping things on a budget, you can't expect their sprinting fight to have an amazing conclusion.

Right now, some of you will be wondering about the level of powertrain customization such a 'Vette would need in order to switch places with a Zuffenhausen halo car at the end of the runway.

Well, wonder no more, as the second video below brings you just that - a C7 Z06 that has been hyper-tuned and, judging by the quarter-mile time it delivers in the clip, could show a gas-electric Porscha its rear end.

Now, before anybody starts fantasizing about the possibility of building a 1,200 hp Corvette Z06 that could still be streetable, there's one thing you need to consider - while such a goal is achievable, hitting it while maintaining the stock vehicle reliability is not exactly easy.

Returning to the Porsche 918, we showed you a drag race that saw the German hypercar getting left behind earlier today. In fact, you could say the hybrid was beaten at its own game (OK, this is a bit of a stretch), since it was left behind by an EV.

We're talking about the Rimac Concept One, the Croatian electric hypercar that also took out the Ferrari LaFerrari in a drag race held earlier this year (no, it hasn't raced the McLaren P1 yet). Nevertheless, we're talking about a small company, so, once again, such speeding wonders have their risks.
