Doing donuts with a nitrous-injected, 427 cubic inch C7 Corvette Stingray packing more than 1000bhp.This amazing burnout video features a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray which has become quite popular on the internet. This stunning blue C7 Corvette is owned by Weapon X Motorsports in Cincinnati, Ohio, and it has been transformed into one of the baddest new Stingrays on the road.This car started off as a mild mannered 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Z51, purchased late in 2013 by Ben Herndon, co-owner of Weapon X Motorsports. The stock LT1 was removed, bored and stroked to 427 cubic inches and fitted with a long light of high performance components including ported LT1 cylinder heads with larger valves, a ported factory intake manifold, 2" headers and an upgraded fuel system. Finally, this huge LT1 is fitted with an elaborate nitrous oxide system which adds an extra 300 horsepower to the bottom line.The 427ci LT1 in this Corvette Stingray makes around 600 rear wheel horsepower without the nitrous, but when the bottles open, the output rises to 884 rear wheel horsepower. Factoring an 18% drivetrain loss, this Corvette is making somewhere in the area of 1,078 horsepower at the front of the built automatic transmission. When running a softer tune with "only" 775rwhp, this Corvette ran 10.0 at 141 miles per hour, but the extra power should put it well into the 9s.More importantly, all of this power allows this Weapon X Motorsports Corvette Stingray to do some intense burnouts, which is well-displayed in the video below. We get to watch and listen as this nitrous-fed C7 Vette does a variety of burnouts some of which are curved into smokey donuts.As you might expect, the 427-powered Corvette Stingray sounds as great as it performs, so crank up your speakers and enjoy!
