Everything is bigger in Texas, from the stakes you eat to horsepower figures for cars. A Bugatti Veyron, with its 1,000 horsepower W16 engine, sounds more than most people ever get to experience. But in Texas, they put superchargers and twin-turbo kits on everything, like that’s the way things are supposed to be and manufacturers forgot.
Case in point, this once simple C6 Covette, which has been taken from producing around 400 horsepower to a scarcely believable 2,000 horsepower by a company called Late Model Racecraft.
The conversion started out with the 2008 C6 Corvette which they kitted out with Z06 equipment. The engine in it is an GM Performance LSX 427 block. The twin turbo kit works through an air-to-water intercooler. There’s also a huge tank of Nos in the back for added kick.
The car recently won King of the Street and performed well at the Huston Mile where it pulled 230 mph easily.
