The Corvette ZR1 Pushes All Boundaries

Too many people look at the Chevrolet Corvette as a car that’s driven by aging men that want to experience some of the fun they think they missed out on when they were younger. The racing world scoffs at the automatic transmission of this car and identifies the Z06 as the limit for the C7 model that’s only going to be improved upon when the Corvette finally arrives with the engine behind the seats. The ZR1 model of the Corvette is here to prove these naysayers wrong and show what this car can do.

Massive Power Up Front

The Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 is a powerful version of the sports car that we love with the engine up front that can produce as much as 755 horsepower for you to enjoy the sprint around the track. You might think that a car with this much power would need to have a dynamic manual transmission for the drive, but the ZR1 proves you wrong. In fact, the ZR1 is a car that uses an automatic transmission that’s able to handle the shifting in a way that no human, even professional race drivers, can’t seem to match.

Likely the Final C7 Corvette Offering

With the C8 generation on the horizon, including the first mid-engine Corvette, the ZR1 might be one of the last C7 Corvette models we see. The power level offered in this car is one that reaches a height that many of the European competition can’t match. In fact, the McLaren 720S and Porsche 911 GT2 RS don’t have nearly as much power as the Corvette ZR1, yet both those cars cost twice as much for you to drive. If you’re looking for a serious performance car to drive, the Corvette ZR1 is certainly a car that should be on the list.

Performance for the Fun

Compared to the two Euro models mentioned, the Corvette ZR1 can rip off the laps you want and it handles the track perfectly. This isn’t just a straight-line sprint car, it’s a real racing machine. This is a car that rides on Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, has several vents up front, has an engine that does stick up through the hood, and offers you an exhaust sound you’re sure to love when you drive. There’s also a massive wing in the back to help you keep this car stuck on the road the way you want when you head out for a great drive.

Are You Ready for the Corvette ZR1

There’s little doubt this amazing car isn’t ready for you, but do you think you can handle it and take it for a ride that’s worthy of what this car has to offer?
