It took Chevrolet around 60 years to bring Zora Arkus-Duntov s dream of a mid-engined Corvette to reality, but the Detroit-based company did a great job. The Corvette is now notably quicker, more dynamic, and performs better than significantly more expensive sports cars. But this doesn t mean that there s no more room for improvement. 1 photo
The fact that Chevy is working on Z06 and ZR1 versions of the eighth-gen Vette is proof that the C8 can be faster and more potent, but until that happens, Borla is here to make the standard model sound much better.

Well, you would kind of expect that considering it has 1,400 hp, a super-fast six-speed sequential gearbox, and all-wheel-drive for that instant launch off the line. Couple that with a set of wide and sticky tires, and you pretty much have the recipe for something with monstrous amounts of power that can also put most of it where it matters.
