The C7 Corvette Z06 is still arguably America’s no1 sports car and one of the fastest cars to ever come out of the States. It’s good enough to perform on both road and track, as well as on the drag strip.

Speaking of which, most people who get to visit the drag strip are happy to walk away with a 10-second quarter mile time. Not so much the guys over at Fasterproms, who took the 6.2 liter V8 unit and bumped it up to 714 WHP and 976 Nm (720 lb-ft) of torque.

They gave it a new supercharger, a custom 2.31 pulley, air box, thermal reduction plates, flex fuel kit, more coolant capacity, ARH 1.875 headers and a set of 315/30/18 Hoosier drag radials.

We’re really impressed with the way they ran the car over at Bradenton Motorsports Park in Florida. To nail a 9.87 seconds 1/4 Mile is a huge result – and they did it at 222 km/h (138 mph).

Watching this Z06 blast off with so much force is terrific, especially since it looks like it put all its power down without any issues right off the line.
