If you're looking to grab a Chevrolet Corvette, you'll be able to choose between no less than four main flavors, with even more extra derivatives. The first includes the base Stingray, the Grand Sport, the Z06 and, of course, the ZR1. And with the last delivering no less than 755 horsepower, why would anybody want even more muscle on the supercar?
Well, the answer to the question above is simple: for the fun of it. And we've recently showcased a seventh-generation ZR1 that had been taken to 850 horsepower by Hennessey Performance.
Well, the Texan specialist is now back on the topic, as it wants to show us what the package can do in the real world. As such, the company has used the drag strip in its back yard to hold a drag racing session.
The adventure threw the HPE850 'Vette at the standard car and there were two challenges - the standing start and the rolling one.
Now, we've brought along this piece of footage because... who doesn't want to see two ZR1s going at it? Then again, we wouldn't rely on the clip when it comes to the accuracy of the results.
For one thing, if we take a look at the initial phase of the standing start battle, we'll notice the standard car spun quite a bit, despite being the least powerful vehicle in the confrontation.
For instance, the Lone Star State specialist offer a three-stage program for the 'Vette. And while Stage Two takes things to 1,000 ponies, Stage Three allows the driver to play with no less than 1,200 hp.
