2,000-horsepower twin-turbo Z06 nearly eats it at the strip

2,000-horsepower twin-turbo Z06 nearly eats it at the strip

But, fortunately, it doesn’t.

This badass C6 Corvette Z06 is so ate up with motor that it loses traction at the far end of the track, and goes sliding. What a pucker-up moment for its driver. But it’s testament to his quick reaction that he saves the car—and it finishes with a 8.67-second time at 118mph.

That’s right. This 2,000-horsepower Z06 with a pair of turbos is so fast that even when it nearly crashes it still pulls an 8-second time.

That only leaves one question: how fast is it when it isn’t about to crash?
