Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 specs

I'm still calling rubbish on 3.16 0-100kph, because AutoBild tested without rollout and especially with 10.94 0-200 time that can't happen. Maybe they meant 3.61, not 3.16? Typing error? Maybe this was done on a dragstrip and not on a prepped track?

A C7 Z06 or ZR1 can barely do that with a rollout. Normally European mags don't use dragstrips or rollouts, but it appears AutoBild is an American wolf in German sheep's clothing. 3.16 seconds, to 62 MPH?! That's around 3.00 or even 2.95 to 60 mph, and not one American mag got close to that even on optional tires, VHT-prep dragstrip, with rollout.

The C8 Stingray does 2.8-2.9 with rollout, but that car is rear-mid-engined and relies on a dual-clutch transmission, so the C6 ZR1 is not doing 3.0 without a rollout anytime soon. The best ANY American mag ever got was maybe 3.3, if not 3.2 seconds (the best a Gen5 Viper got by Car & Driver).

To add: 11.3 (with rollout, 11.0-11.1) in the ¼mile after 10.9 0-200 (with rollout, 10.6-10.7) is approximately 203-204kph finishing speed, which is 126mph. That's very telling of how a ZR1 can't manage a 3.0 0-60 time.

I will admit though, the Germans ARE better at testing American cars than the Americans are — for the most part. But AutoBild is the same mag that got an 11.4-11.5 (with rollout) at a 212kph passing speed with their non-Redeye Hellcat. Ironically, though, they got around 12.8-12.9 (with rollout, possibly at 177-183kph) with a Shelby GT350. I generally wouldn't trust that source regarding American cars and trucks.

Using Auto Bild's numbers:

3.4 to 60 mph (but without rollout)
translates to 3.1-3.2... but to 60...certainly not a 3.2 to 62 mph

It's fast enough to keep up with the 458 Italia as well! Incredible machine for its time

0-300 km/h in 27.6 sec, holy shit!! What is the C7ZR gonna do?

Corvette ZR1 second run > 0-300 in 27.62 seconds
Porsche 911 Turbo S (530 PS) > 0-300 in 30.91 seconds
Ferrari 458 Spider > 0-300 in a bit more than the 911 (around 31-32 seconds)
Corvette ZR1 first run > 0-300 in 32.02 seconds
Nissan GT-R (530 PS) > 0-300 in 37 seconds flat

Had to use translator cause I'm not the best French speaker. They said the R8 was lacking in power and it came third in the race with the GT-R and the ZR1. I assume it was somewhere in the range of 37-39 seconds 0-300.

Track length was about 3.5 km

This car is a piece of art. Truly one of the best cars you could buy around the time if you wanted to show the big European dogs who's boss :D

How did this get a better lap time at spa than a laferrari?

This car was so ahead of its time. It was fast on track, fast in a straight line, was extremely driver focused before everything was made for laptimes like DCT's, super sticky rubber and ridiculous aero. Even with a 6 speed manual, it was just over 1s slower than the C7 ZR1 at Laguna Seca, which had much MUCH more aero, much more power, stickier tires. So impressive

100-200 is 7.79 (check 5:29)

I did an 9 minute lap at the ring in forza 4 lol

Who added these numbers?
It'd be this fast without a supercharger...
Take a look at youtube videos and you'll see it does 0-200 in 9.5 0-250 under 15 seconds and 0-300 under 25 seconds. And even these numbers are rounded the **** up.
You won't find one video on youtube where the ZR1 produces such terrible numbers.

VIR laptime by car and driver 2:51,8 , thanks for adding if possible

This seems to be in standard setup the 2:45,6 was done with Cup ZP option tires (most extreme at that time) and some aftermarket equipment (seat, harness) that was officially installed for safety reasons, but a racing bucket seat also improves laptimes as we also know from some Nürburgring times

If chevy beefed up the aero and downforce a bit, lightened the car about 200 lbs, and gave it next gen sport cup 2 tires this zr1 would be much faster around a track than supercars today including the new zr1.

0-250 km/h: 17.4 s

Change the main photo to the following:

please change the picture.

the test was not done with a 911 turbos S that car is quiet faster in all departments.

"In the video, they mention another run they did that was "only" 189mph, which is actually kinda slow for a ZR1 running 1.5 miles; there are guys who have done 189 in just one mile in stock ZRs."
this is the quote I was referring to BR2+, so don't correct me in a cocky manner when you are simply wrong

Is everyone ready for the 2017 mid-engine Zora ZR1?

❤2017/850hp Zora ZR1❤

American Muscle = #1

Youtube people...Youtube...

A stock ZR1 will usually do the standing mile in the high 170s to low 180s depending on conditions. The best speed I have seen is 185mph. If conditions were optimum and great driving then maybe 189 would be possible.

I'll be adding new performance figures "for now."

0-60 mph: 3.3 s

....No he didnt...

He said the car did 189 in 1.5 miles anyway...not 1 mile

Stupidity is such an amazing thing. Love how people think that the times listed here for any car are the best times. Its really amazing.

173Mph all the way thru 189mph have been achieved in the full standing mile.

You are YEARS to late to question what this car can do, EVERY performance segment for this car has been discussed over n over n over.

@CoolShirtGuy: There is NO WAY the ZR1 will trap 189 stock in a standing mile. This one does 0-186 in about 32 seconds, so for it to be 189 it'll need more than 32.4 seconds to pass the standing mile, but normally cars that trap 189 in a mile finish it in 27-28 seconds. With the 0-124 and 0-186 times here it wouldn't trap 189. Not in stock form at least. Many cars in a 32-34s range are trapping 145-165 mph.

Max speed: 332 km/h

temperature makes a huge difference in both straight line speed and lap times.

a summer test can be up to 2 seconds off the pace of a winter test time

Also, you do realize that Vmax runs are almost entirely dependent on environmental conditions, right? When you're approaching the absolute limit of what the vehicle is capable of, even the smallest variations can ruin everything. If you're doing 195mph, on your way to 200, even hitting a tiny bump in the road can scrub off speed. When manufacturers do those runs(those that actually DO them, instead of just quoting a number calculated in a computer program), conditions have to be ideal. But magazines do whatever they want, and don't really care if conditions aren't exactly conducive to what they're trying to do. Like when they tried to to 200mph in the 2013 Shelby GT500 in an area several thousand feet above sea level. Internal combustion engines don't like high altitudes and the thinner air that comes with them, and it's even worse when you've got a big fat supercharger riding on top. So it's hardly surprising when third parties can't duplicate top speeds.

Oh, and about that F430 crack...What are you talking about? The F430? Really? Why would Chevy give two craps about a car that their C6 Z06 already DESTROYED in EVERY measurable way(including top speed)? The ZR1 was created for one reason only: to keep the Corvette relevant until the C7 entered production.

If you don't know what you're talking about, it's time to stop talking.
