A C7 Chevy Corvette Z06 owner took his car to a tuner in Texas to get some more power out of the vehicle, but it turned out to be a bit too much for him.
After modifying the C7, the tuner took the owner of the car on a test drive.
However, the moment the car accelerates, the expression on the face of the Corvette owner changes.
To be fair, with 1200HP, the tuned C7 Chevy Corvette Z06 is nothing like it was before.

Tuned C7 Chevy Corvette Z06
The C7 was tuned by Late Model Racecraft, who uploaded the video of the owner’s reaction on their YouTube channel.
It seems the owner of the Chevy Corvette came to pick up the car, but Steven Fereday from the tuning shop took him for a test drive.
Unfortunately, he doesn’t have an idea what he is in for.
The C7 Chevy Corvette Z06 originally came with a 376-cubic-inch (6.2-liter) supercharged V8 engine.
This engine also produced 650 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque.
However, after getting tuned, the 2015 Corvette produced 1,200 horsepower.
This car is even more powerful than the C8 Chevy Corvette ZR1, the most powerful Corvette ever made.
The 2025 C8 ZR1 comes with a twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter V8, which produces 1,064 horsepower and 828 pound-feet of torque.
As you can see this tuned monster of a C7 Corvette can do better than that.
Even the owner of the car also seemed scared by how fast it could go.
Sitting in the passenger seat, the owner seemed quite scared the entire time the car was accelerating.
“That’s scary,” he says.
Every once in a while he also glances at the speedometer and sighs a breath of relief once the C7 Chevy Corvette Z06 stops.
“I don’t think I’m afraid of flying anymore,” he added jokingly.
