While most owners are more than happy with the amazing performance of the C8 Corvette that’s capable of an 11.3 second quarter mile at 121 mph straight from the factory, others seek to unlock even faster quarter-mile times with aftermarket upgrades.

It was nearly a year ago that a 2020 Corvette armed with an Extreme Turbo System’s ETS kit broke the 9-second barrier with a run of 9.95 seconds. Now the company has claimed the title of the World’s fastest C8 Corvette with a quarter-mile run of 9.05 seconds at 159 mph!
