Back during Season 2 of the Jay Leno Show, Jay met with Vice President Joe Biden at the Secret Service Agency’s training ground which is about the only place the agents would allow the Vice President to drive his own car, a 1967 Corvette Sting Ray Convertible. It was during the taping of that show when retired 4-Star General Colin Powell showed up in his new 2015 Corvette Stingray, and a race between the two Corvette enthusiasts broke out.

On Wednesday, Jay Leno once again met President Biden and his Green 1967 Corvette Convertible at the Secret Service training facility for some driving action when Colin Powell’s son Michael joined them in the late general’s C7 Stingray. General Powell passed away last year, and his son Michael was back to force a rematch.

“I’m frankly here to kind of settle the score,” Michael Powell said, referring to the fact that his father lost the last matchup with Biden. “You know, for years, he was very, very bitter. He said that he had won that race, clearly, but somehow that got lost in editing. And, you know, he said, if I ever had the chance, I had to make that right.”

With the two men in each of their respective vehicles, the tale of the tape shows us Powell’s C7 Stingray with 455 horsepower and auto transmission was sided up against Biden’s small block rated at 350 horsepower and a manual 4-speed transmission. Jay does the countdown, and the two Corvettes are off!

Powell’s C7 Stingray immediately jumps out in front and there is an overlay reportedly showing the MPH of each car. The description and edited video of the race show that Biden’s ’67 Corvette hit 118 MPH during the sprint while the C7 squeaked out the win at 121 mph. But we are highly skeptical those speeds were actually attained, given the short length of the skidpad and our experience of driving a small block mid-year Corvette. But hey, it makes for some decent TV, regardless of political leanings.

  1. Hey, with the former guy you wouldn’t have to drink the bleach. He wanted to inject it right into your body!

  2. Ya I saw that episode last night, pretty cool. What’s with the haters?? You don’t think Joe is doing his job?? Really, maybe you should pay better attention. He’s done a lot with absolutely NO HELP from the other side which by the way is their FRIGGEN JOB! He’s got more done in 1-2 yrs then dumb ass Trump did in four. Plus Biden didn’t let 300+ thousand people die needlessly because he lied and down played the worst epidemic in a hundred years.

  3. Fake news, fake government, fake leaders. Just a bunch of puppets run by the elite. No skid marks just a brown spot on the seat

  4. joe biden is a complete clueless puppet on strings, that will get us into ww3, his admin doesn’t care about you or me, they are to busy trying to cover up all their money laundering efforts by having putin destroy the country, if it wasn’t for joe biden lifting the sanctions on the nord stream pipeline#1. putin would not have been able to invade ukraine, and if russia is such a problem on the ukraine border, why aren’t illegal immigrants on ours? gas prices are only going down due to biden emptying our emergency reserves, which by the way prices are still up over 2020 prices, if you support biden and the democrats by 2024 we will become a 3rd world country these and now apparently it is said that we are going to have a diesel fuel problem soon. this moron ran on stating he was gonna raise your taxes and you all still allowed him to steal the election because there is no way in this lifetime, he got more votes in history than the first african american president and just another little tidbit notice his vette is british racing green, with the forrest tan interior .and with energy shortages on the rise he is already doubling exports of natural gas to europe countries well how about the usa??? i know this is about cars but our american dream that the corvette was built on is being destroyed ……

  5. Biden is a traitor whos sold us out to China along with his entire family and democrat party, who all should be convicted and publicly hung. Anyone who doesn’t see this at this point is either lazy, mentally retarded, or both. Vote Anti-Democrat next week as if your life and freedom depends on it, because it does.

  6. When he was vice president he was talking about his brothers CTS V 6 speed caddy and saying how he wished he could drive it but the secret service would not allow it. Now he is doing 118 MPH in a 55 year old car that could break a universal or a wheel hub at any time? i am pissed at jay for participating in this deception. Does jay realize that this life time free loader wants all of us out of our hot rods?
