WELL DAYUMN!!!

Hypercar much....

by setting new performance benchmarks, including the quickest-ever 0-60 mph time for a production Corvette.

The new ZR1 will reach 60 mph from a standstill in 2.3 seconds, and run the quarter mile in 9.6 seconds, both with the optional ZTK Performance Package, Chevy confirmed Thursday in a press release. Chevy said acceleration tests were performed with 93-octane fuel on a non-prepped dragstrip, with the Michelin Pilot Cup 2R tires that are part of the ZTK package.
Helping the ZR1 achieve these feats is the new LT7 twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter V-8, which produces 1,064 hp at 7,000 rpm and 828 lb-ft of torque at 6,000 rpm. The 8-speed automatic transmission from other Corvette models remains mandatory, but it's been modified for this application with wider gear profiles, stronger shafts, and improved lubrication.

The extra power compared to the Z06's 670-hp LT6 V-8, from which the LT7 is derived, counterbalances a weight increase of about 200 pounds. That gives the ZR1 a dry weight of 3,670 pounds for the coupe and 3,758 pounds for the convertible.

The 2025 Chevy Corvette ZR1 is scheduled to reach dealerships next year.
