One C6 Corvette with a lifetime of hell already seen blows up a transplant engine after making some big-boy power at the strip. Surely, that same Corvette deserves a chance for redemption, right? Cleetus thought so…the auction mistake Corvette that has been a build for a few weeks now recently got a new, junkyard sourced 5.3L block and some love, and with hard work, the red C6 is running again, sounding as angry as ever. This means that it’s time for two tests: how much power is this cobbled-together mother making and how fast will the car go at the strip. There is a dyno at the shop and Bradenton is nearby, so it stands to reason that we’d get both questions answered in short order…and we have! The dyno runs do not disappoint and the dragstrip time is very eye-opening…even with a transmission that is finally starting to show some problems during shifts. The questions still stand, though: how much power, how fast in the quarter. Both questions will be answered by clicking on the videos below!
