This video comes to us from the Street Car Video YouTube channel and it features a series of highway roll races. Included in the action is a supercharged C7 Corvette, turbocharged 5.0 Mustang GT, a built Nissan GTR and a couple of sport bikes. There are no details on the GTR or the sport bikes, but we know that the C7 is fitted with a ProCharger F1X. That means it’s yielding more than 1,100 wheel horsepower while the Ford Mustang GT is fitted with a single turbo setup which also leads to more than a 1,000 wheel horsepower.After introductions of the cars and a short in-car pull with the Mustang, the video begins with the ProCharged Corvette and the turbo Mustang making a series of highway pulls. The action is filmed from the Mustang and on the three count, both cars hit it with the Corvette handing out a beating in the first run.ALSO SEE: Big Bodied Chevys Go Door to Door Down the StripDuring the second run, the Mustang is slightly ahead in a tight race when it allegedly jumps out of gear, allowing the Corvette to easily take the win and on the third run, the Corvette begins to pull away right as the Mustang shifts into neutral again. On the fourth and final run between these two, the Mustang gets an early lead and the Corvette seems to give up, leading us to wonder if maybe there weren"t some traction issues.After the Mustang and the Corvette square off, the Mustang makes a few runs against the GTR and the Nissan wins soundly each time. You will notice that the Mustang doesn"t have any transmission issues against the Nissan.Finally, the video ends with the ProCharged Corvette running a couple of sport bikes and after watching how the 1,100whp supercar handled the turbo Mustang, it is incredible to watch how easily the sport bikes walk away from the Vette.Crank up your speakers and enjoy!Tags: C7, C7 Corvette, Corvette, drag race monday
