WORLD'S FASTEST C8 CORVETTE: 1,350hp+ Twin-Turbo Drag Car | Top Gear American Tuned ft. Rob Dahm

Say hello to the mother of all C8 Corvettes. We're talking a twin-turbo setup, meaty rear tyes, nitrous - music to a tuning enthusiast's ears. But how do you get a car that originally came with 500-600hp deal with upgrades that puts it north of 1350hp? Rob Dahm finds out how Fueltech's Anderson Dick has bypassed the C8’s computers, then takes it out to the drag strip for some launches. Does it break? Maybe a little bit. But would it even be a Rob Dahm video if everything went to plan?

That was an amazing experience, thank you Top Gear and Rob Dahm, can't thank enough for the opportunity!

When the wiring of that transmission got ripped out within the first 30 minutes of being at the track, I had no idea how we were going to turn this into an episode. Many thanks to Anderson and his team for fixing the wiring harness in under 2 hours -- all by hand -- with no replacement parts. Awesome job.

As primeiras palavras do Anderson no vídeo foram: "Você sabe que eu sou do Brasil, certo?"

[@OlDustyTrails]

Loving this Tuned series with Rob Dahm bringing us so many different experiences throughout car culture and the energy and passion he brings throughout. Keep sharing the love.

MEU DEUS a Fueltech ta no Top Gear que orgulho!!! 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@RealKaelyn]

I always love seeing people smile through helmets like that. You can just see the happiness and feel it. Great job FuelTech and great job Rob for not breaking their car

[@briantoro393]

wow incredible

[@jacobhauenstein]

The c8 is going to make an awesome, accessible platform for so many different types of builds. I’m sure some people will go standalone, but most want to keep everything working as stock. It is fascinating that some cars can have every module, Ecu, Tcu, etc. flashed and customized with only a phone, others you need to ship the entire ecu to a tuner.

A perfect storm of issues unfortunately. Fueltech IS THE GO TO COMPANY for stand alone drive train management! You GOTTA LOVE Andersons enthusiasm and attitude! A real blessing to the car community at large!

[@jredmartinz]

I think what I appreciate with Rob as host is how genuine he is about everything. It's hard not to be smiling or excited when he is

[@gj60021]

Rob’s raw emotion during and after that pass shows how passionate he is about cars. Awesome machine, love it!!

[@Nick22257]

This was so cool to see! Respect to all involved for staying dedicated to the platform to get it this fast through all the difficulties with modern day obstacles. It takes a ton of work to get a new chassis into the 8s like this. Cant wait to see them get into the 7s someday like the Midnight stock sealed coyote car. We need to appreciate these high horsepower street cars before the EPA puts more nails in our coffin.

I remember reading tuner magazines when I was a kid in mid 2000's, building my "imaginary" cars with list of parts including the entry level Fuel Tech controller because I thought I wouldn't have the cash for the top ones lol and now FT is on Top Gear, I can't congratulate enough Anderson for fighting for his dream! You're at the Top man! Literally!

[@kotyatibaia]

Fueltech do Brasil para os EUA e agora na TV americana mostrando que Fueltech nao e somente para arrancada e sim para toda area de performance, vc merece Anderson tive q assisti 2 vezes

[@jandercats1]

That was a really genuine expression of how cars can be really awesome! Thanks Anderson for the amazing content and hard work of everyone on Fueltech. You guys really making my mornings awesome!

[@stingr9137]

So happy to see Rob Dahm's success! Great job brother!

[@minibikemadman]

Forget all the other c8s on YT..Andersons is the best. I hope to have a fueltech powered vehicle soon !

[@br_spec]

What an awesome episode!! It’s amazing how the crew overcame the challenge of rewiring the transmission control out in the field and in such short time. Congrats to all involved!

[@cristianocarriel969]

NIce to see Anderson and Fueltech on Top Gear, recognized for a lifetime of work and dedication with a focused and qualified team
