Sometimes 3,500 horses get squirrelly

And other times they don’t and your extremely modified C7 Corvette Stingray runs the eighth mile in 4.11 seconds.

That’s 8th mile!

BmanUltima's car still hasn't been fixed yet, he'll get on it tomorrow, honest. > StingrayJake 05/05/2015 at 15:51

That’s an 8th mile, not 1/4.

Yea, thats as much a C7 as my motorcycle is a car. Seriously? He took 3/4 of the body and hung it on a tube chassis..... that is NOT a C7....

Well... That doesn't seem quite as absurd then.

I was thinking it’s as much a C7 as Bruce Jenner is a woman.

Sounds like a pro-mod. Can anyone tell what class this thing is running in?

I think I found it. http://www.dragzine.com/news/vanishing… It’s a 10.5 car.

I bet the engine can’t handle an entire 1/4th mile.

I’d hope that they don’t go through the trouble of starting off with a base C7. Just go buy some replacement body panels and slap em on a tube chassis, put a purpose built engine and drive line in and away you go.

Yes I’m a little suspicious that it actually started life as a base C7. They claim the body panels are original... but replacements could be had for cheaper than a whole car. Did the engine start life as a stock LT1 as well or is this just high-strung drag engine?

Either way, it’s still cool. I never have been much of a NHRA/drag fan but I always liked Thomas Patterson’s Headhunter that had a body resembling an evil 1953 C1. Obviously nothing about it was C1, but it was cool.
