A LOT of people are saying "It's Fake" because 1) its a Corvette (and they instantly assume the car can't be fast), 2) it's RWD and they don't want to entertain the very likelihood of an FR car (let alone an American one) making a running start from 50 to 170mph like a giant kicked it in the bumper (After all, it would invalidate their asinine belief that the GT-R is unassailable, even if we all honestly know, and have known for a couple of years now, that isn't true already.). Of course, if the car was a GT-R doing this run everyone calling "fake" would be cheering the GT-R insistently AND hypocritically. The C6 Corvette Z06/Z07 or ZR-1 over distance and/or a race track is still faster than a GT-R. So why wouldn't a C6 be, "squirrelly" or not, insanely fast. Some people are that good.

I don't know what all was done with the car. I seriously doubt that anyone experienced enough to blow 1500hp out of a Chevy Small block would ONLY do engine mods. So I'm assuming suspension and drive line upgrades and improvements to handle that much power.

I don't know if this video is fake or not, but unless anyone can show proof the car couldn't do it, I will assume that it is real. However, as the writer says "I would have taken it to a track" with the proper instrumentation and measuring equipment to really see what this car can do. That alone is why people are calling "fake".
