Insanely Quick Corvette C6 ZR1 Launch: Video

Here’s a nice, brief interruption to your work day as you pioneer new ways to procrastinate in the office: a sub-ten second Corvette C6 ZR1 launching at the dragstrip.

The stock ZR1 has a quarter-mile time closer to around eleven seconds, so your guess is as good as ours what kind of mad sorcery went into this ‘Vette. But clearly, whatever modifications are present have an absolutely delicious effect on the torrent of sound trumpeting from the tailpipe.

This Corvette C6 ZR1 manages an impressive 9.93 second run, and sounds like a tin can full of wolverines doing it. It warms its tires, waits on the line, and hardly evokes a trace of wheelspin as it shoots down the strip like lightning.

You can watch the video below. Please, enable audio, but keep it low to avoid disturbing your cubicle-mates. Or waking the dead.
