A 2002 Chevy Silverado pickup truck isn’t exactly synonymous with drag racing, but this one may be the exception. Put simply, the only thing left from the factory vehicle is its steel bed, but the rest of the body is fiberglass. Power comes from a twin-turbocharged 5.3L V8 that now makes 1,500 horsepower.
The 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 was spotted at Germany’s famed Nürburgring circuit this past week, and it definitely resembles a proper supercar. If the rumors are true, the vehicle will be powered by a twin-turbocharged LT7 5.5L V8 engine generating between 800hp – 850hp, mated to an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Think of the Vetter Slash as a full body kit for the C6 Corvette, but with a few additional modifications. Mike Vetter is the man behind this vehicle, and his journey began as a teenager who wanted a Lamborghini Countach, but couldn’t quite muster up the $100,000+ needed for one. So, he found a body kit for $2,500 and then picked up a used $1,700 Pontiac Fiero.
Converting a Nissan Skyline R32 into a Camaro may be considered quite strange to say the least, turning a Chevrolet Camaro into a tiny solar-powered home on wheels is just downright practical. Arslan of Solar Camper Car did just that and it took over 2-years of living in cars exclusively to gain all the knowledge necessary for the build.
Hennessey Performance’s H700 Corvette C8 Stingray transforms the mid-engine sports car into a supercar destroyer, or so we’d like to think. Its supercharged 6.2L V8 now makes 708 hp and 638 lb-ft of torque, mated to a Tremec TR-9080 DCT 8-speed dual clutch transmission.

There are auto enthusiasts transforming the Nissan R32 Skyline into a Chevrolet Camaro, and then this one who turned a 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 Duramax dually into ‘Razorbak’. This vehicle, with 145,000-miles on the odometer and clean title, had its cab as well as bed removed before a steel subframe was built onto the existing body mount points.
You’ve seen three-generations of Skylines race each other, now watch the 2023 Corvette Z06 take on a Nissan GT-R NISMO and a 1000hp R34 GT-R in a drag racing showdown. The C8 Corvette Z06 is powered by a naturally aspirated 5.5L LT6 V8 engine making 670 hp and 465 lb-ft of torque, mated to an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Sleek and electrified, the 2024 Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray made its debut this week in celebration of its 70th birthday. Power comes from a naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 engine making 495 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque, paired with a single electric motor generating 160 hp, for a combined 655 hp, mated to an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission that sends power to all wheels, enabling it to hit 60 mph in a mere 2.5 seconds.
There’s the VENOM 1000, and now a Corvette C7 ZR1 tuned by Hennessey Performance. With the HPE1000 package, the C7 ZR1 pumps out 1000 hp and 966 lb-ft of torque from its supercharged 6.2L V8 LT5 engine, mated to either a 7-speed Tremec TR-6070 manual transmission or 8-speed GM 8L90 automatic gearbox.
