This drag racing action comes to us from the More Voltage Films YouTube channel. You’re looking at a Corvette Z06 from the C6 generation taking on a couple of high-performance sedans. Unfortunately, the modifications for all of the cars in this video are unknown, but based on how this LS7-powered Corvette handles the competition, it is safe to say that the Z06 has been modified.Z06 vs. AMGThe first race in the video pits the bright yellow Corvette Z06 against what appears to be a Mercedes-Benz AMG C63. The two cars go from a dig and as soon as the race begins, the ‘Vette jumps out to a narrow lead. The race is short, but thanks to the street lights, we can see that the Chevy is slightly ahead when the driver hits the brakes. It was a slim margin, but the C6 looked like it took the win.Bring on the HellcatThe next two races show the C6 Corvette Z06 taking on a Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat. When the race starts, the Vette gets a better launch and takes an early lead. Around “half-track,” both cars struggle for traction and by the end of the track, it appears to be a pretty even race.Since there was no clear winner, these two cars go head-to-head once again and this time, the Corvette takes the clear win when the Charger runs into traction issues. The Dodge camp will argue that the Hellcat would have won if it had gotten traction, but spinnin" ain"t winnin" and the driver mod allows the C6 to win the win against the supercharged Mopar sedan.Crank up your speakers and enjoy!Tags: c6, c6 corvette, drag race monday, LS7, Z06
