This week"s Throwback video features a heads up, 8th mile drag race between a pair of Chevrolet Corvette Stingrays one from the C2 generation and another from the C7 generation. This race took place last weekend at the Roadkill Nights event in Pontiac, Michigan and while we don"t have any details on either car, we can make some guesses based on the outcome.When the C2 Corvette Stingray Convertible in the far lane pulls into the burnout box with its top down alongside a newer C7 Corvette Stingray coupe, many people in attendance likely expected to watch the new school car stomp the old school car. The Roadkill event took place on the street surface of Woodward Avenue, so traction was an issue all day and in many cases, cars with fat rear tires like the C7 Stingray had the advantage.However, on this run, the C2 Corvette jumped out to a lead at the line and the driver never looked back giving the win to the old school GM performance car.Tags: c2 corvette, C7 Corvette, Drag Racing
