[VIDEO] Hennessey Races a C8 Corvette Convertible vs the Ram TRX and America Wins

Let’s give up to the folks at Hennessey Performance whose apparent racing philosophy of “run what you brung” was on full display once again this week.

The Texas tuner’s latest drag race of eclectic competitors features a C8 Corvette Z51 Convertible versus a 2021 Ram TRX on the Hennessey test track. Both vehicles are being raced in stock form prior to receiving upgrades and that means the TRX already has a 207-hp advantage. So how will it do against the hardtop convertible?

We temporarily interrupt your C8 coverage to bring you something from Corvette’s very first year. The Corvette made its debut in mid-1953 with just 300 examples produced. All were identical with Polo White paint, a red interior, and a black convertible top. If you’ve been shopping for one of the 200 or so surviving 1953 Corvettes, then check out VIN #299 which will be offered later this month a Mecum’s Glendale Arizona auction.
