Super Speed
A 1,500-horsepower rating is an incredible feat considering that a 2015 Lamborghini Aventador LP 750-4 SuperVeloce produces 740 horsepower with the factory Lamborghini engine intact. A Bugatti Chiron with a quad-turbocharged 8.0-liter engine has a matched 1,500 horsepower rating with 1,180 pound-foot of torque but is probably way more expensive to service.

American Supercars
The B is for Build team and Texas Speed & Performance may be doing more than saving a beautiful car and doubling its original horsepower rating. They may be making a statement that LS technology can compete with enormously priced Italian supercars and with better reliability. Corvette also seems to be taking a shot at the Europeans with the introduction of the mid-engine C8 Stingray. The new Vette’s that looks every bit as capable of nail-biting speed as any hi-po Ferrari and Lamborghini.
