700 HP Supercharged F-150 vs C8 Corvette Drag Race… Wait, What?

It started as a simple V8 F-150 rematch, but Andre Smirnov had a horsepower surprise up his sleeve for Roman Mica. The Fast Lane Truck crew lined up two Coyote-powered Fords for a drag race, but one of them wasn’t quite stock, leading to a hilarious series of races involving a supercharged F-150 and an unexpected appearance from a C8 Corvette.

The Sneaky Supercharger Reveal

Roman, driving a stock V8 F-150, felt confident against Andre’s lighter, two-door, short-bed truck. He noticed the big exhaust tips but didn’t suspect the real secret. Andre teased him, said, “Roman, you’re in a surprise of a lifetime?” After Andre absolutely demolished Roman in the first race, the truth came out. “This is a Ford Performance Whipple supercharger,” Andre admitted. He explained, “It takes the horsepower from 400 to 700, and it’s under warranty.” The numbers backed it up: Andre ran a 13.37-second quarter-mile, while Roman managed only a 16.15. Roman replied, “Ouch. Andre, that hurt. That hurt.”

Roman’s Response: Enter The Corvette

Not to be outdone, Roman revealed his own surprise. “I am also sneaky. Andre, I brought a different vehicle,” Roman confessed. He rolled out TFL’s C8 Corvette. Despite the truck’s horsepower advantage, the lighter, mid-engine sports car proved too much from a dig. Roman, even without using launch control, easily took the win, running a 12.78-second quarter-mile. Andre struggled with traction, said he was “riding a wild wave of power” that resulted in massive wheelspin. Roman asked, “Did you smell that Corvette exhaust, Andre?”

The Supercharged F-150 Strikes Back In A Roll Race

To even the odds and negate the Corvette’s launch advantage, they tried a roll race from 30 mph. This time, the truck’s instant power shone. The supercharged F-150 quickly pulled ahead and held the lead, taking the win. Roman noted the Corvette’s dual-clutch transmission seemed slow to react from the roll, giving Andre the jump he needed. Andre also mentioned he was hitting the truck’s speed limiter at the end of the runs, suggesting it had even more pull left in it.

Worth The Upgrade?

Roman admitted he was sincerely impressed by the supercharged Coyote. The Ford Performance kit costs around $11,000 plus installation, a huge investment. The day proved that while a stock V8 F-150 is respectable, adding that dealer-installed, warrantied supercharger transforms it into a true performance machine capable of surprising even mid-engine sports cars.
