The world's first supercharged Corvette E-Ray certainly puts down some impressive power numbers. 734 wheel horsepower and 793 lb-ft of torque to the wheels to be exact. Built by @ParagonPerformance and @LingenfelterLPE , this pushes the quickest ever Corvette into top tier supercar and borderline hypercar levels of acceleration. But what was even more impressive was how drivable the car was, being able to use the power and have the car behave on the street was properly awesome. Enjoy my review of the Supercharged E-Ray and check out the car's IG too!

There have been many comments about the transmission and clutches on the car. As mentioned in the video, when I drove it, the car wasn’t 100% dialed in. It went straight back to Lingenfelter for more calibration work.

The 3rd to 4th gear was not the clutch slipping. Other moments were wheelspin induced.

I’ve driven another aftermarket forced induction C8 and the shifting was orders of magnitude worse than this. It’s challenging to tune these cars.

Thanks to everyone for watching the video!

No comments on the massive clutch slipping we can clearly hear? Amazing car but there’s a big problem there.

It’s too bad that the TCU still isn’t unlocked. You can hear that transmission struggling.

I love turbos, but supercharger has a linear torque band like an NA engine, and the punch of the electric motors is a great combo. That thing has 200 lb-ft of torque per wheel!!! The tires are all important.

Id smoke the taillights out.. Change up the color a little bit.

4:27 that transmission probably does not have long to live...

Nice to see a review from a C8 z06 owner! Go GM C8 platform is absolutely amazing punching way above it's class in Performance Engineering! Comparing to a Ferrari Sf90 cost 6x as much 🎉!

Great review of the Supercharged E-Ray! Glad we we're able to get it into your hands for a proper review and breakdown. Your non stop smile really shows what this car is about!

is it blasting through the DCT.. or tire spin?

[HorsePowerObsessed]

Awesome meeting you at the Bash this year, Eddie. Great review of an insane car!! Hope to meet up in the future!

[kurtthomas]

Yea, unfortunately I am afraid he’ll be sorry that they didn’t upgrade the clutch, hope I am wrong, unless he just babies it, beautiful build either way!

[UnderwaterFishFilms]

man this is crazy, so glad that you posted this

[goneflying]

It sounds amazing. I don't think the trans is handling all of the power, though. They should but more power into the electric motor so the back doesn’t slip so much.

[Korey_Paragon]

Amazing review & not much more you can do besides smile and laugh when driving it!

[richisrael]

Please tell me where to get that carbon fiber front hood!

[XboxAlive]

Just goes to show at any price point money doesn’t buy cosmetic taste. At least he didn’t put a firebird on the hood with cowhide interior and hot wheels flames on it yet. I’ve seen much worse tastes in modified cars gone wrong. With all the money in corvettes he should sell them all and get the ZR1 this summer. Neither is a good daily so I’d prefer the top trim over multiple Corvettes.

Amazing car, great build crew and an awesome owner! True “hot rodding” moving forward!

[PSCooooooool]

Nice work, but need to mention there’s a quite noticable lag between shifts and pushing power and can definitely tell it also needs a transmission tune to change shift logic and engagement.
strange a YTber like you didn’t mention it

I have a Eray on FH5 and it’s fun to drive with 1300hp

[JamaicanMeCrazy]

Unrelated.. I've always thought if they just softened the edges this car would look so much better.
