There is no vehicle in the world like the Chevrolet Corvette you are about to see pushing 1000 horsepower! A true mechanical masterpiece from the factory, the Chevrolet Corvette is the best bang for buck vehicle a tuner can modify. Starting out with an amazing eight cylinder small block from GM, this roadster coupe is ideal for aftermarket modifications. Big names like Hennessy, Lingenfelter, and Callaway all know about the Corvette and it's great potential for power. Sure other vehicles can be modified to reach 1000 horsepower, but none of the other vehicles can do it with such grace as the Chevrolet Corvette.

There are several modifications necessary to bulk up the Corvette to 1000 horsepower, but not as many as you may think. For the power per dollar spent, this vehicle is second to none! The 346 cubic inch LS6 features a polished, stock crankshaft, forged pistons, performance rods, a competition camshaft, and more. The intake side of the motor features ported cylinder heads, twin turbos, 64 pound fuel injectors, a Walbro 310 fuel pump, and the infamous Kenne Bell boost a pump. Take a look at what 1000 horsepower sounds like chugging by through a parking lot!
