[VIDEO] C8 Corvette Stingray Sets New Quarter Mile World Record with a Run of 8.64 @ 170 MPH - Corvette: Sales, News & Lifestyle

We had fun in 2021-2022 watching a group of tuners and builders attempting to break into the 8s with their C8 Stingray. Now a new world record has been set after Extreme Turbo Systems ran their C8 Stingray at 8.64 seconds at 170 MPH in the quarter mile.

OF course I sure hope folks know this is not a stock C8. Its has a few little upgrades, most importantly for around $20,000 you can bolt on a twin Turbo in kit to give ya a little boast of 2000 hp..

Haha. I would hope nobody would believe that to be stock! Lol I was wondering what kind of chassis and suspension work they did.

The time a couple months ago I'm on the highway and the car is driving on the dotted lines. When they get off up ahead they are driving on shoulder and straight into a parked car. At the last second they make a turn onto the side street. I'm thinking definitely were on the sauce.

Toyota, or American junk?

LOL. Seriously i think Asian is running away with the car market. Toyota, Honda, Subaru.....even Kia.

Trucks are another matter. Not sure the Asian trucks have the power to compete.
