Chevrolet has been making headlines lately with the latest version of the Corvette, the ZR1X, which just ran the quarter-mile in 8.742 seconds at 159.37 mph. That’s so quick, many public drag stops won’t let you run it without a parachute. The ZR1X pulled off a physics-defying zero-to-sixty mph time of just 1.94 seconds (1.77 seconds if you include a one-foot rollout), thanks to the all-wheel-drive traction provided by its front electric motor. But what if you don’t have that electric motor, a prepped drag surface, or even a fixed roof?
