The Audi RS7 and the Chevrolet Corvette could hardly be more different. And yet none of this matters when the two line up next to each other for a drag race. Fortunately, the sprinting battle we have here saw the drivers of these performance monsters crossing paths at the drag strip, thus staying on the safe side and enjoying the prepped surface of the track.
To be more precise, the slab of America and the German missile met at the Palm Beach International Raceway, engaging in a quarter-mile brawl.

Note that both the Corvette and the RS7 had been taken down the aftermarket path. And these toys weren't just fitted with minor mods. Instead, the velocity tooks had received serious custom hardware that meant they could deliver tons of extra performance.

For one thing, the Corvette we have here started out in life as a standard C7 (think: N/A 4.6L 6.2L V8), but it left its natural aspiration behind in favor of a supercharger.

As for the Audi RS7, this had been gifted with full bolt-ons. And we mustn't forget the fact that the AWD hardware of the beast gives it a serious advantage in the initial phase of the race.

Speaking of which, the aural side of the battle brings an interesting detail of the 'Vette. It seems that the Chevy comes in manual form and the clutch appears to slip while the blown V8 fights to get off the line.

So, what do the numbers tell us?

Well, as the YouTuber behind the stunt we have here mentioned in the description of the video, the Audi managed to complete the quarter-mile run in 10.7 seconds, while the supercharged Chevrolet Corvette required 11.5 seconds for the task.

Returning to the aural part of the brawl, this is where the 'Vette easily takes the cake.
