Maserati MC20 Cielo and Chevrolet C8 Corvette Z06 in U-Drag race

Leave a comment

Italian car manufacturers like to say that their cars are the best, especially if they are supercars, and one way to solve the dilemma is U-Drag races. This time the Maserati MC20 Cielo took to the line with the Chevrolet C8 Corvette Z06.

In U-Drags, cars race on a quarter-mile drag, before they hit the brakes, do a 180, and power back to start/finish. The video was released on the Edmunds Cars YouTube channel, and the drivers were Alistair Weaver and Jonathan Elfalan.

The Maserati MC20 Cielo is powered by a 3.0-L V6 twin-turbo engine with 621 hp (457 kW) and 538 lb-ft (728 Nm) of torque, mated to an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission. That’s enough power to push a 1,814 kg car to 62 mph (100 km/h) in about 3 seconds with a top speed of 199 mph (320 km/h).

Chevrolet C8 Corvette Z06 is powered by a 5.5-liter naturally aspirated V8 engine with 670 hp (499 kW) at 8,400 rpm and 459 lb-ft (623 Nm) of torque, mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission that sends power to the rear axle. The mass of the car is 1,685 kg.

In the first race, the Corvette Z06 had a better start, crossing the 1/4 mile first, and even increased the distance to the start/finish. After that, the drivers switched cars. In the second race, we again saw a better start of the Corvette Z06, better braking and a faster return to the finish line.

More horsepower and faster acceleration proved crucial in this showdown.

Alex Choi decorated his Lamborghini Huracan

The end of the year is approaching and some will decorate the Christmas tree, some will decorate the house or yard with thousands of lights, and influencer Alex Choi decorated his Lamborghini Huracan.

Attracting attention is in human nature and everyone more or less strives to be the center of attention at least for a second, but not everyone is creative. Some people don’t like what Alex Choi does, but there will always be those who support this kind of creativity.

The influencer decorated the entire surface of his Lamborghini Huracan with 30,000 RGB LEDs, creating a light show that, along with 20 other decorated cars of his followers, created a light effect on the roads above Los Angeles.

Before hitting the road, Choi contacted a lawyer and checked if there was anything illegal in what he was doing. The lawyer said that everything was fine and Choi went out on the road with his followers.
