2008 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1

@ golf1diesel, the overall wheel diameter also is important.

vette"
man porsche gt2 rs have 620hp
bigger turbocharger don't have 100kg :)
isn'n point in bigger engine
end his time on Nürburgring is 7:18...

I love the zr1 but I have to agree that the plastic window is B.S.

It wouldnt be so bad if the engine cover matched the color of the cars paint. Having a red vette with a baby blue engine showing through the hood looks tacky.

I really hate that stupid plastic window on the hood.

@golf no 523hp vs 638hp
or 530ps vs 647ps or you now what lets just call it 390kw vs 476kw..

@Anon is the same thing....530 PS=523 hp and 638 bhp is like 648 PS..whatever

No the ZR-1 times are NOT bullSh** no matter what system was turned on just for the mere fact the Ferrari costs OVER twice as much money! And I'm THE biggest Ferrari fan on the planet. Corvette just confirmed they WILL NOT make a mid-engine or six cylinder Corvette. And Corvette has tested all-wheel drive systems before but always decides not to put it into production. They SHOULD make a limited edition all-wheel drive just for the hell of it though.

you mean 648PS vs 530PS.

RWD Corvette Zr1 with 638 bhp can't beat an AWD Porsche PDK Turbo S 530 hp in straightline acceleration..that's a shame haha

Person1 seconds ago Fuck you people are fucking idiots. All the ZR1 lap times are bullshit. They are bullshit because the traction control and stability system are left on compare to all the other cars which have them turned off. The only one that counts is the top gear time because the systems were turned off. But the only reason it was so fast is because frigin' the stig drove it. Screw Porche they are just vw bugs with turbochargers.

@Ayrton Senna:
love your name man
you say "end gt2 have 530hp this 650..."
you know what? if porsche puts a bigger engine to make more power
it will become heavier so they can't make it right again(it took 50 years for them too do sth right)
that's why they use huge supercharger and turbo chargers
cuz they can't use normaly aspirated engines like corvettes and ferraris and lambos

they try to blame it on the car cause they cant drive. thats why i only read motor trend bacause they can truly drive

Lots of mags hate this car, because (as evo magazine describe it) the car always try to turn the opposite way of what you want it to.

638 get it right. cant wait till the new zr1 and the viper 1:33 go back to nurburgring.

end gt2 have 530hp this 650...

porsche gt2 rs is king
american car can't be never...

Lets see:
18Bhp More
480Lbs Lighter
156Lb Ft mor torque
Much Better Cd

Yet it somehow manages to Lose to a 599 GTB in 0-300kmh? Thats Pure Bs! they may have slightly better traction off the line, and dual clutch's, but loosing by that much is pure shit.

this car with 660hp, performance traction management, and jan mangussen (i think i spelled his name wrong) will do damage at the ring. to bad its just a dream that i am hoping and praying comes true in 2011.

plastic bag with v8 was bound to be quick

He/She is right, they topped out at 207mph, heres proof, please change stats.

jus saw a video on youtube of the zr1 going 207 mph. i know it anit alot but every little bit counts. the video is called corvette zr1 tops 205. warning wen you watch the video the music that is playing is very annoying

Never heard anything bout the ZR1 getting 660bhp,last thing it need is more power. but i did hear that either you can have the Carbon package, or they will make a ZR1 Carbon completely, but i dont have any confirmation yet, but if that is True either way, expect a considerable amout taken off all of its times, ZR1 is no joke.

i wonder wht the 2010 zr1 can do at nurburgring you know with the performance traction mangement. nobody every answered my question on the 2011 zr1 getting 660hp. can anybody confirm that.

@ Anonymous----It's all in the wrist.----But you know this already! LOL
