This week"s Kill Story segment is actually two kill stories from the same C6 Corvette ZR1 owner. Forum member StealthFRC posted two videos from his own YouTube channel racing against two different Mitsubishi Evolutions a week apart, but while the competitors are different the outcome is pretty much the same.The CompetitorsThe video above and below feature the same C6 Corvette ZR1 and two different Mitsubishi Lancer Evolutions.The Corvette is a C6 ZR1, meaning that it came from the factory with 638 horsepower and 604 lb-ft of torque from the supercharged LS9. The owner has since added a new air intake system, a smaller pulley, a larger throttle body and an E85 tune leading to roughly 700 rear wheel horsepower.The Evo in the first post (video above) has a built 2.1-liter engine fitted with a Precision Turbo 6870 delivering around 29 pounds of boost. Running on 93 octane pump gas, this Japanese compact car makes around 700 horsepower at all four wheels.The Evo in the second post (video below) has a "fully built" engine fitted with a Precision Turbo 6466 creating about 38 pounds of boost. When running on Ignite Red fuel, this Mitsubishi is said to be making around 800 horsepower at all four wheels.The BattlesIn the first race, the Corvette gets a shaky start from a 40-mile per hour roll, allowing the Evo to keep pace for a few seconds. However, as the two cars work through the gears, the ZR1 quickly pulls out to a huge lead, beating the compact by a significant margin.In the second race, the ZR1 takes on the stronger Evo, this time starting at 55 miles per hour. This time, the Corvette gets a better start, but the Mitsubishi hangs tough, staying at the rear wheel of the C6 until the race ends.Crank up your speakers and enjoy!
