World’s First 10-Second 2014 Corvette Stingray

Now that the 2014 Corvette Stingray is among us, more and more custom car specialists are starting to play with it. Some results are more spectacular than others and we’re here now to show you the world’s first 10-second C7 ‘Vette.

The clip below shows a 2014 Corvette that manages to pull a 10.5-second run at 132 mph (212.5 km/h). The vehicle was modified by Redline Motorsports, managing to break their previous C7 quarter mile record of 11.02 seconds. The feat took place at Done at Palm Beach International Raceway on November 3rd. You can see the pass in the clips below.

To achieve this, the vehicle was gifted with a 125 nitrous shot, Redline Motorsports LTX2 camshafts, as well as Kooks headers. The stock C7 Corvette delivers 460 HP, but Redline hasn’t released the output figure for its creation. Given the time, the car, which features a seven-speed manual transmission, could climb way past 600 HP.

We’ll remind you that last time we talked about a C7 Corvette playing the quarter mile game, Henessey Performance has taken its stock automatic ‘Vette to the drag strip. The vehicle managed to record a 12.2s run at 114.88 mph (185 km/h).
