Admit it, you read ‘drag race' and immediately clicked hoping to find two flamboyantly dressed gentlemen engaging in a spot of competitive running, right?
Wrong. What you will instead find is something to lift the spirits - a race between two rather muscular supercars.
Gallery: Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Carbon Edition
In the blue corner, we have a supercharged Chevrolet Corvette Z06, tuned to produce a reported 700bhp. In the classifications of superchargery, that's ‘very'.
In the white corner, we have a Koenigseggseggsegg CCXR, tuned to produce a claimed 1,024bhp. Remember, this is a more potent version of the car that tried to kill Stig. It's mean.
Can you guess which one wins? Place your bets below, then watch the video...

That only happened because the Koenigsegg had a bad start. Also, if the Americans put the two round a track the 'Vette would get ruined.

All that power doesn't mean a thing if you can't put it down to the ground.

This is because the Z06 is very underratted! It is a giant killer. Once again proving that there is no substitute for cubic inches! And the price difference...

Koenigsegg had a bad start. With a good start the 'Vette wouldn't have a chance, the CCXR has Veyron levels of performance.
