Late Model Racecraft’s 836-Horsepower C7 Up-Close and Personal

Now, that 2014 Corvette Stingray shipments are pretty much in full swing, nearly every mod shop that can get its hands on one is pushing to beef up the car’s output.

One of the latest we’ve come across was done by the team at Late Model Racecraft (LMR) and features a heavily modified 6.2-liter V8 twin-turbo engine with 836 horsepower. The Texas-based tuning shop had claimed it was the fastest C7 Corvette before Vengeance Racing unleashed its 1,000-plus-horsepower C7.

The video below featuring what LMR describes as “a cute little girl” riding shotgun gives us a glimpse at the company’s modified C7, which sounds pretty impressive. We’ll let you be the judge on whether the girl lives up to their claims.
