Top Speed Corvette C5 Z06
Built and Tuned by Hinson Motorsports
We are headed for the Texas Mile on March 23-25! We are thrashing to complete the project now (3/20/12). We ran 224 mph on low boost with our previous build. We're looking to beat our own record and eventually compete for the world record for the fastest piston powered car. This new car is a combination of C5 and C6 parts resulting in extreme performance. We have built on the information gained from our previous car, and this ride is looking to push the boundaries for standing mile racing.
3/22/12 Update
New numbers are in!
2,246 HP @ 7,800 RPM
34 psi

We made our first pulls on the engine dyno! We made 1,870 horsepower on low timing and 27psi. We're turning up the boost and timing tomorrow. We'll run out of injector around 2,400 horsepower. Special thanks to Young's Performance, Lane Culver, Butler Performance, Ryan Carpenter, Buddy Anderson, and Noah Mitros for making this happen so quickly.

This is a custom tall deck 427ci solid roller engine built in partnership with Butler Performance. The guys at Butler Performance handle our big cubic engine builds. These RHS blocks are great when they're in capable hands of a great machine shop. Give us a call to help plan your next race engine build.
Getting ready for the engine dyno.
Amazing craftsmanship by the guys at Hinson Motorsports.
Shameless plug for our friends at RHS & Total Engine Airflow/TrickFlow. We stock and use these great manufacturers for our personal and customer use. Let us know how we can help you assemble your next combination of parts!
