The Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray is an extremely fast car. With a total output of 655 horsepower coming from a 6.2-liter pushrod V8 and a front-mounted electric motor, the car can hit 60 mph in just 2.5 seconds, making it one of the fastest supercars on the market. But that wasn’t enough for a tuning shop.
The folks at Boost District decided to put a few turbos on the 6.2-liter V8 found behind the E-Ray’s cabin and head to the drag strip to see how it would perform. And it worked exceptionally well. The car, driven by Boost District founder Roshan, managed to clock an incredibly fast quarter-mile time of 9.741 seconds at 152.99 mph.
Boost District claims this E-Ray makes an impressive 1,000 hp thanks to an ETS twin-turbo kit, Lingenfelter Performance Engineering pistons, and a more powerful fuel injection system. The heads and cams are completely original, as are the Michelin PS4S tires. The only other upgrade to the car is a heavy-duty clutch, there to handle the extra torque.
According to Boost District, these Michelins weren’t grippy enough to handle all that extra power. The outlet says the car was spinning all four tires during its quarter-mile journey. They say the car can eventually reach the high eight-second range with just a few minor adjustments, like stickier tires.
If you’re not happy with the speed of your E-Ray, Boost District will sell you this entire set of upgrades, with packages starting at $21,250 fully installed. If you want to wipe the smile off your local Z06 owner’s face, this is a pretty solid option.
