I think it makes like 670 horsepower.
I have the world's fastest V8 Corvette.
Welcome back to the new season of this versus that.
It's the show where we race this and that.
And these are two cars that we have tried to get since the
first episode we were filming.
Super high-end electric car versus the world's fastest V8 Corvette.
What's up, man?
What's going on?
Who are you?
And what'd you bring here?
Cody with the Taycan Turbo.
Dang, no last name, Taycan Turbo.
Cool.
Well, what is this?
It's a car that has a silent A, which bothers me a lot.
I don't know how you say Taycan, Taycan Turbo.
The turbo just means fast.
I think it makes like 670 horsepower.
What is it?
It's like 5,500 pounds?
It weighs about 5,300 with me in it.
Yeah.
Those brakes are huge.
How are they so shiny?
It's a mirror.
How do they do that?
That's the shiniest brake I've ever seen.
I put brand new brakes on, they rust in like five minutes.
How do they do that?
So he was telling me about it.
It's like the brake caliper and pads don't dust.
So this will not collect dust.
But I've never seen a rotor so shiny.
Yeah, I know.
It's a weird new...
And it might be to generate energy.
I don't know.
Right?
Just say it with confidence.
Say it with confidence.
We believe you.
Oh, it's curve system.
Yeah.
Well, the one thing I don't like about this car is that they call it a turbo.
Yeah.
It's kind of weird.
I have a turbo.
What do you mean?
I have a turbo S.
No, like a real turbo, like a Porsche turbo.
Oh, right.
Yeah, I do too.
But I mean, people that drive Chevy Avalanches.
What does that have to do with anything?
Wait, it's not an Avalanche.
It's not an Avalanche.
Pickup and SUV.
The all new Chevy Avalanche.
The most flexible vehicle out there.
You're a good boy.
Come on.
That's like the most wonderful thing I've ever heard.
Hey, go ahead.
There you go.
This dude just dropped facts on us.
Figure it out.
Oh, man.
Now I'm rethinking all car names.
Can we open this?
Yeah, it's open.
I might be too poor to open it up.
No, go ahead.
Oh, with the red interior.
Oh, that's pretty tight.
White with blood red interior is my favorite combo.
There's literally nothing in it.
It's just a thing.
There's like a widescreen TV.
There's like two buttons.
So there's the start button and then the hazards button, pretty much.
That's all you need.
I think this is the best looking electric car that's currently available.
It doesn't look like it's trying to be the future.
It just looks dope.
We got a car called a turbo, but it doesn't have turbos.
Oh, shit.
I like where you're going with this.
Keep going, keep going, keep going.
We got a Corvette.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Tell us more.
With two turbos.
But it doesn't.
But it's not called a turbo.
This episode is brought to you by HP Tuners.
They make all sorts of data logging, tuning, scanning and diagnostic tools.
Most of which you don't even need a laptop.
They also have a mobile app that you could do lap times,
drag times and all that other fun stuff.
They got a bunch of deals going on right now.
So make sure to go check out their Instagram or hit the web link below.
Learn more.
Is that better, T?
She's dropping knowledge right there.
Here we go.
Twin turbo, built LT2.
Say it what you got.
Brought to you by the people who made the Avalanche.
Yeah, LT2, built.
Twin turbos.
What's Gucci?
Upgraded clutches.
On forge lines.
Slicks.
Let's go.
She's actually really fast, so we'll let her slide on that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're like a week out from pulling a record.
You should just start with the record.
Yeah.
So I have the world's fastest C8 Corvette and the world's highest horsepower.
All right.
Small break.
Two records.
Wow.
You really ruined this thing quick, huh?
You can't even fit a golf bag in here anymore.
So tell us about it.
What's up with the motor?
So Texas Speed built LT2, running an auxiliary fuel system.
So you got port injection and DI.
Yeah, a bunch of go fast parts.
I love the headers that come up.
The nitrous isn't hooked up.
That's just for show, yeah.
It's Bluetooth.
I know these cars have had a hard time cracking the ECU.
So how is this tuned?
We are on piggyback, on piggyback, on piggyback.
Is it top secret?
Well, no.
I mean, we have a special piggyback that was made by Pites Performance,
where we're able to kind of trick some of the sensors to tell it what we want to tell it that it's seeing.
We also have a Holley Dominator that we're using for the auxiliary fuel system.
So that tank is purely meth and that goes to the port injection.
So we're on 200 pound injectors just for that.
So you have meth and then E85 or 91?
Pump gas, but I'm on C16 right now.
So you're just blending them inside the intake manifold?
There's five mouth pumps on this car.
All right.
What do you have to do to the trans and the clutch and stuff to make all this happen?
So the gearbox is stock, the basket's stock, but we do have upgraded Dodson clutches.
So that really helped us to be able to put the power down to the tires.
Did you say dots?
Dodson.
Oh.
Yeah.
I was like, what is that?
You're thinking ice cream.
Yeah, I was thinking ice cream too.
It's about that time.
Snacks on my mind.
Have you seen us?
Chocolate or vanilla ice cream?
I'm a strawberry ice cream person.
All right.
I'm cool with that.
Do you like chocolate ice cream?
I'll eat it.
Yeah.
It's kind of whatever, right?
Have you ever had Madagascar vanilla bean?
That sounds good.
Oh my God.
It's amazing.
There's a little bus.
Anyway.
Yo, you all don't know.
This is very nice in there.
I guess we're talking about ice cream right now.
Can we show this?
Yeah.
Well, that's all I was going to say.
I mean, this is the beauty package right here.
This is it.
Yeah.
Twin turbos, precision turbos, 64, 66.
We're able to utilize the X-pipe, which is awesome.
I think it sounds better.
It sounds great.
It sounds so good.
Yeah.
Aside from that, just your typical twin turbo Delti.
Hell yeah.
Well, let's look at this wheel and tire setup because I love me some meaty meats.
And some bicycle fronts.
Yeah.
The wheels, they're Forgeline beadlocks.
I love them.
18 by 11 in the rear.
And then we have 18 by five in the front.
So it's a good little setup.
What suspension are you on?
I'm on KW Club Sports.
Are these the like 18 way adjustables?
No, that's a V5.
Didn't they use your car as the testing grounds?
This is the prototype kit for the C8.
Yeah.
So the first set of KW coilovers that were actually available to market were on this car.
Nice.
Cool.
Well, what else?
Bunch of wires.
Red interior, a bunch of wires.
All over the place in there.
A lot of beep boop inside.
Well, I'll say that your competitor is not intimidated by you in any way.
Yeah, I don't think so.
I mean, I don't know, man.
I think that thing might walk me.
Electric car.
Also all wheel drive on a non-wrapped surface.
All wheel drive, yeah.
So here's the setup.
We can go 500, 1,000 or 1,500 feet heads up.
Which one do you guys want?
I think we should start at the 1,000 foot and then make a determination on that.
Find the middle?
Let's do that.
Let's do it.
Line them up.
Even though the Porsche is all wheel drive, electric turbo,
something is telling me that Amelia is still going to come around them.
So I'm going to go with Amelia on this one.
On sound alone, I want Amelia's car to win for obvious reasons.
But all wheel drive, instant torque, no gear shifts.
It's just computerized speed.
Unfortunately, the future is fast.
Yo, there's no way I'm voting electric car over twin turbo V8.
So I got to go with the Vette.
Uh, I don't really know enough about the Taycan to even care.
I like it.
I would drive it, but I'm voting for Amelia.
I think the Taycan is going to get it on the launch.
But the C8's got it on the top end.
Uh, shoot.
I didn't know anything about it.
That thing's electric, right?
Yeah.
Nah, V8, baby.
I'm picking the one with the turbo.
They both have turbos.
Or the one really has turbos and the other one doesn't have turbos,
but they're both called turbo.
So if I'm going against that, I'm going with the one with two turbos.
Oh my God.
I told you.
Oh, that's uh, that's spicy.
That's a spicy launch too.
Yo!
Of course, of course they did.
Yo, the future is so strange.
That looks pretty easy.
Hey, wait, come here real quick.
Listen, hear that?
I got my seat warmer on, chilling.
Got the steering wheel warmer on.
Did you have the window down?
The window?
Nah, windows were up that time.
You were reeling him in there at the end.
Oh, I was.
Yeah.
He, he got the jump off the line.
He did.
Yeah.
Pretty quick.
So do you want to do the same race?
You want to go to 1,500?
No, let's do 1,500.
Okay.
I'll show you what a real car can do.
So the only fair way to do this, since we wanted to go 1,000 and,
and I got you on the 1,000, is to do a 500 now.
You good with that?
What do you mean?
You jumped it.
And you came at me.
The chase is a race though.
What do you want to do?
1,500?
Yeah.
I got to get the hit though.
What do you mean the hit?
I got to get the go.
If you want me to go 1,500, you're going to come around me.
Yo, this is the best drag race negotiation we've had on this show.
No one else.
How much money you got?
I got more money than you for sure.
What do you want to do?
I want to do 1,500, but I want to get the hit.
Okay.
You cool with that?
So once he goes, I go.
Yeah.
I mean, the second you see his car move, you move too.
All right.
So Amelia is going to give him the hit and they're going to go to 1,500 next race.
Here we go.
Now you win.
Are you scared?
I was scared.
I'm definitely scared.
All right.
Rerun number two.
These guys are battling right now.
Everybody ready?
Everybody just start running.
That was a good race.
That was good.
I think she got him on the top end.
That's what it looks like from here at least.
I think, yo, you and me, you and me, we were saying on the top end.
That thing just boogies, dude.
That's fast.
It's too bad you can't buy a faster car.
Well, I'm stuck.
I haven't been hot in mine yet.
Wait till I'm on mine.
What are you going to do to that electric car?
Hey, hold on.
We're just going to update some software.
It's tied.
So you guys have to negotiate the last race.
This is serious.
I want three cars and the hit.
What?
Bro, what are you talking about?
That's about right.
You came around me at three cars and I took the hit on that one.
I think you do heads up, 1,000 foot.
Heads up, 1,000 foot.
1,000 foot, heads up.
No jump, just on the drop.
Head up, 1,000 foot.
That works.
Okay, cool.
Yeah, that's such a good deal.
Damn, that's amazing.
Damn, that's awesome.
Who won, for God's sakes?
We don't know.
Blank car.
Are we going to have to review the footage?
What do you think?
I think it's a photo finish.
Yeah, it's a photo finish.
We couldn't tell from here.
And you jumped.
I was going to jump.
I knew you were going to jump because you jumped me on the second race.
Oh, the results are coming back.
We had to drive the results down.
In the giveaway.
Can we talk about the giveaway Jeep for a second?
You can win this thing right here.
Coonigan.com, ParkingSupply.com, anything you buy.
$1, one entry.
Anyway, where's it at?
Where's it at?
Did you not scroll?
No, I didn't scroll yet.
I figured we'd all do it together.
But I will say that the human eye down there said that she took him by a nose.
Oh, that's it.
Last one.
Let's see, folks.
Yeah, that tells me nothing.
We got it.
We got results.
Get over here.
Look at me, bro.
Amelia.
Hey, look at me, bro.
The stress.
Look at the stress.
I've never had this much anxiety.
Oh my God.
It's a photo finish, right?
We got to review it.
I don't know.
I think Amelia got it.
I can't see.
You can see the rocks.
Oh, I took you.
How is that at four?
That's...
I mean, that looks pretty clear.
To me.
That looks pretty good.
That's it.
I went out and had the flag.
Either way, either way.
Amelia, congrats.
Honestly, you guys wasted a bunch of our time reviewing footage.
Get the f*** out of here.
We got all the snack.
Look at this door, man.
You could tell Scotto drove this.
That thing launches like a drunken bear.
That guy's like...
