Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 specs

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?

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.

Who is this clown?

Note that the ZR1 ran on an oval, which will prevent it from reaching its TRUE Vmax. The Koenigsegg CCR had a similar issue when it did its top speed run at the Nardo Ring. 241mph is nothing to sneeze at, but it could've gone faster had it been on a completely straight road, a la the Veyron.

But when it's done in a proper location, this happens: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEYuouTFB4I

207mph and change, Vbox verified. And if you look closely, you'll see that for a fraction of a second, it hit 208. This is in-line with Chevy's claim that the ZR1 was capable of 210mph during testing.

And then there's this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3cLWsNAJKM

202.7mph in a 1.5mile run(looks like the Mojave Magnum event). He went so fast that he would've been shut down for rule violations had it not been his last run of the day anyway. And while I can't verify that the car was stock, all evidence points to that being the case. Stock ZR1s run 180+ in events like the Texas Mile, so adding another half-mile to the run could net 200+, provided there's no headwind. If it was modified, it would've gone much faster than that. 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. So there's no reason to believe the car was modded.

...Yeah man, Even though the top speed has been proven YEARS ago, It certainly doesnt do it..............

The ZR1 does not reach 205 mph, let alone 207. It actually only does 200.4 mph. Chevy overclaims the top speed as proof that your car will definitely beat the Ferrari F430. It's terrible at reaching its claim; I like Chevys, but this one is verified to barely do 200. In comparison, the Ford GT does 200.1, the Porsche Carrera GT does 201.5, and the Enzo Ferrari does 211.0. All of them are way off from their claimed speeds. Maybe except for the Enzo which could actually do over 220 without a redline limiter, and Car and Driver probably had shorter gearing than stock, limiting the Enzo to 209.

How did this page get 94 subpages in just 8 years? lol

0-200 mph (0-322 kph): 43.1 s*

Motorsport Magazine 07/11 https://youtu.be/xRLCzOtzd2U

*Stopwatch-est., ~8kph above Vmax speed

We had this argument many times over years ago. You are right about one thing though, 10.74 is not the best stock time. The same guy took a different stock ZR1 and ran a 10.66. It was just never updated on this sight. I have personally ran a 10.85 in my stock ZR1 and was at a private track rental where 4 different stock ZR1s all ran in the 10s. All of these times were on stock tires, not drag radials.

You are YEARS too late for that argument, Again, Posting bs.

The 10.74s@133.21mph time published here was not for an exactly-stock ZR1. There's no timeslip to confirm whether it was stock or running something that sorta modified the car. https://youtu.be/woOqqfGtqHo

The ZR1's real quarterbest is 11.1s@130mph. http://www.autorivals.net/supercars/2010corvettevs2010viper/2010corvettevs2010viper.htm

Might sound 90% optimistic, but start at 0:03 watching this video. https://youtu.be/2SpbeBNtAiM

0 to 300 kilometers per hour in 23 seconds. STOCK.
