Let us tell you about the C8. Emelia Hartford, YouTube star and her team modified a 2020 C8 Corvette with a 6.2-liter naturally aspirated V8 that produced a respectable 495 horsepower and 470lb-ft torque. C8s, due to their untunable CUs, are meant to be difficult cars to improve.
Emelia and her team were able to overcome this fact and turn their C8 into a quarter mile monster. To take the Corvette to new heights, they added a twin-turbo setup and a standalone Holley ECU. Emelia and her crew wanted the fastest C8. They got it. The C8 was capable of producing 1,022 horsepower, and 942 lb.ft torque at the wheels. Their ultimate goal was breaking the quarter-mile time record of 9.6 seconds, which was set by Extreme Turbo Systems’ boosted C8. Although their journey to breaking the record was difficult, they achieved an amazing time of 9.36 seconds at 147 mph. This C8, Phoenix, is an internet sensation with much to brag about. Emelia received a $180,000 offer for her C8. General Motors liked the C8? Yes. GM was nothing but kind to Emelia and the C8. Emelia was acclamated with the words “We love what your are doing.” It makes perfect sense that such a remarkable build gets the thumbs up it merits.
