I love how corvette's are so reliable AND fast. This car will casually make it to 100k+ miles.
the new Corvette ZR1's are amazing everytime they release the new corvettes they never dissappoint.
In the 70's I had a square port 454 with 4.88 gears, 850 Holley, Strip Dominator manifold, open headers and an unstreetable cam that ran 11.77 at 117 mph. Today you can get more power and better performance and still get power windows and air conditioning.
Yes the ZR1 is simply amazing.
Love that burnout.
VIR :
Stingray Z51 - 2:52
GT-R R35 - 2:53.
the Track pack is the highest performance version of the GT-R and you have to compare it to the BASE corvette for it to win. Pretty sad.
in-SANE! Watching this car smoke the Michelins through the whole corner and torque steer its rear tires under acceleration. That just shows how truly impressive the Corvette lineup is. Any one of them performs at a level most will never experience.
Just returned from a one-week road trip through Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana in a Corvette. Its over 430 horse powers made the trip a memory for life. Thanks, Chevy, for making this car. I now dream of buying a 1982 Collector's Edition. Anyone who knows if that is a good or bad idea? (I know it only has 200 hp).
0:32 -- I honestly dropped my jaw thinking the front end was gunna lift.. It looked like it was going to lol...
wtf is this shit, I get 4.2 0-60 on my base c6 almost every go, get a set of decent tires for god sake...
0:28 is just...I can't describe what I feel...it's just such a beast
:28 was easily the best shot I have ever seen of the ZR1 that shows the true brute power of the LS9 and how the engineering of the Vette's drivetrain, chassis, and suspension help deliver that power to the pavement.
vette e vida ....
ive seen this video a gazillion times i cant get enough
Those were the coolest burnouts I think I have ever seen...the ZR1 is such a beast
I could do nothing but watch this video from 0:28 to 0:35 for the rest of my life and never get bored. HOLY SHIT!
Gotta love the driver selected option of cooking the rear meats.
Its people who have a hard time giving most cars appreciation. I am a fan of all European, Domestic, and Japanese cars and can see the love put into each car.
People are just too simple minded to see that.
Funny thing is the Cadillac Catera's had this back in 1996-2001, when they came out with them but it wasn't called PTM, they named it something else then, and it also had Winter/Snow traction control... I miss my Catera. :(
they don't fall apart too fast.... my 96 Corvette has 181,500 miles on it. Not a squeak or rattle ;) CHEVROLET FOR LIFE!
A grampa pulled up next to me at the light in that bad boy.. His was blue , beast!
that first turn with the smokey burnout, damn....
I would definitely take special 'Corvette Driving School' lessons as soon as I bought it, so that I would know how to fully appreciate the power/precision of the car.
Exhaust sound ..... needs to be in my phone as a ringtone
this car is a "must have" , hope in the near future they make a simi auto gear just like ferrari italia.
This is the kind of video i wanna stick on top gears homepage.
even in the game(Gran Turismo), this car still gets your adrenaline pumping and jumpin! its farking amazing!
Im a fan of all corvettes, but I've had my eye in this for a while. Don't know much car stuff though, so it's probably way better than I can imagine.
Always was a supra fan but this car is changing my mind
@iTzOJ They were testing out the launch control to see what it would do. That's why the times are slower as well.
This makes me want a corvette now!!!
It doesn't really matter what the video is, there will always be a bunch of angry people arguing about something completely different in the comment section.
That being said...this car is amazing.
American muscle cars like the Camaro were doing those 0-60 times back in the 60's. All it takes is a good set of tires and a good launch.
MotorTrend Car of the Year. Same professional driver for every car, same day, same conditions. The most accurate lap times you can get.
That would be . . our ability to experience the actions and activities that solicit questions marinated in frustration..
I love how this machine is way faster than any Ferrari, Lamborghini, or Lotus around the Nurburgring.
As far as I'm concerned, the Corvette ZR1 and the 911 GT2 RS are some of the ballsiest cars you can get from a major automaker. 600+ hp, wide-ass tires, and a goddam 6-speed manual!
0-60 in 3.3 seconds, 640 bhp, 6.2 supercharged v8, 205mph top speed
0.29 that's sound of power. amazing.
one of the best looking cars ever
That is actually not a bad time for a street start. Most cars are much slower than launching from a sticky 60 ft launch pad at the track. That thing is a monster.
@whatever0481 : YES. Handling is awesome and you can get service at any Chevy dealer. The ZR1 set a new record at the "ring" in Germany. That about says it all.
1. Update the body (make it look different than the Z06).
2. Upgrade the interior.
However...I'll still take it as IS!!! Amazing car!!!
@SES10M I don't think GM has released any information on what the 2015 (the C8) Corvette is going to be. All I've heard is that the C7, the next one, is going to be a moderate update to the Corvette, and then the C8 has the goal of dominating the world. I heard something about them considering a mid (not rear) engine configuration. Some have speculated that a hot V6 may take the entry-level position but I don't think that's come from anyone within the company.
Corvette lover for sure
@V12Carlucci The corvette is actually classified as a mid engine car. The engine is fully behind the front wheels making it a true mid engine. It's just front mid engine opposed to rear mid engine.
I want a corvette now!!!
i work at Ray Dennison Chevrolet and my manager told me that they made a new corvette that can go 240 mph and i think it will be released in 2013 or later
The thing is a freaking monster. You can make it more monstrous by engaging the nanny stuff.
@Yardjass I do not think the Zr1 will be back for the C7 and GM probably JUST started to work on the C7 so it won't be out for 2012 for sure.
i now im only 14 but GOD DAWM THAT ZR1 IS BEAUTIFULL
Corvette ZR1 FTW!
@Janusha I see your country is producing great cars.Keep up the good work LOL!
god DAMN that engine sounds awesome.
@liljon3 what you do is swing the back of the of the car out while engaging the throttle and the tires wont be able to grip because of the torque. You really have to be an experienced driver most of all to not oversteer or understeer or else you will go in the ditch. Its really hard to do it with a car that isnt powerful cause you really want those tires to spin. Only possible in rear wheel drive cars. Its easier in the rain but u wont get smoke, thats what they do in movies if u watch closely.
Nevertheless... ZR1 IS a special car. The exhaust note can be noticed with your eyes closed... And special skill is needed to fully control your car (shown by chevy giving free lesson with ron fellows).. I want to buy a on of GT-R's successor in the future, but if a corvette is available in my country at that time, i definitely will try to buy both.
@Yardjass Yes, you're right. I didn't read your comment carefully. Ford Focus/Fiesta are german Fords to me that's the reason I missinterpreted it. And Opel/Vauxhall is a german/english brand although they belong to GM.
Alpha, performing better, everyday.
@Janusha You are not expected to like everything, but you are also not expected to comment about everything either. Just because something is rattling around in your head doesn't mean that anyone cares to read it or hear it. If you don't like something, the mature thing is to avoid it and not throw out baseless comments to creat a hostile environment. Walk out and just start sharing your opinions with everyone and see how far that takes you.
@Janusha It has lower quality than any other car at that price point, I'll give you that. But it is also faster than any other car at that price point. To increase quality they'd have to either raise the price, or lower the performance. The ZR1 is made for people who place a higher priority on performance over build quality and lavish interiors. I once went to Porsche's site and made a Carrera the way I'd have it. Came to 95K. On that price point, you could get a Corvette Z06 AND a Focus.
Now thats a proper car!!!
That's a slippery surface, even the 2012 GT-R smoked all 4 tires at launch on the same exact strip. It crushed the ZR1 in the 1/4 mile by 0.6 seconds though. The 2012 GT-R has also gotten 0-60 as low as 2.7, and it got a 3.1 second 0-60 on this slippery strip.
eh, I guess its all preference. If you want a nice looking luxurious/sport car, there is no denying that the Euro cars are superior, however if you want an all out powerhouse and a good bang for the buck, its all about the vette. Track and lap times prove it. For me the vette is simply better because I couldn't care less about interior, I just like cruising on the the freeway and kicking ass, and I believe the vette is the best for doing so.
You are a HERO
omg, the sound of that rev limiter...
Actually the viper acr and zr1 do pretty well on the track.. Also let's not forget the boss mustang
Most of the people that diss the interior of the Vette have never sat in one. The leather seats are soft and comfortable, my CD/Navigation soft touch display is fantastic, and everything is easy to use. Dont let the Europeans continue to cloud your judgement.
damn it sounds good at the redline fuel cut
man i love corvettes
I want to do one of those things where I tell people to thumbs up!
That's for damn sure! Even a bone stock C5 Corvette is a force to be reckoned with.
@Toddmars Thanks for the info on the ZR1, I knew about PTM and all that but I didn't know they used iron cylinder liners and a few other things you said, I guess I learn something new every day.
@3800power Hell, just from his tutorials (and several Weekend Runs)on CV Forum I did 3.9 and 11.7 in my stock 02 ZO6 with nitto DRs
@cb7pwn i was about to say thats a little slow numbers. considering the stock STI does it in 4.5 or so.
@Janusha The problem with a Harley is that it doesn't have the performance of sport bikes, which makes sense because they make cruisers.
As for all those things you named, the Porsche 911 GT2 RS doesn't have hardly any of that. No active aero, plain old aluminum chassis, good old six-speed manual. It's just plain and simple mechanical performance, and yet it gets respect from everybody. And who said a 'Vette was less capable? Porsche only have one car that's faster, and it's less practical.
the 2005-present Chevrolet Corvette is assembled in
Bowling Green, Kentucky, United States
So bad ass!
Thanks for sharing this, much appreciated.
Damm this vette is the King. The mighty ZR1
@Janusha I never said they were the way of the furutre plus because of fuel prices in all of those other countries and tax on displacement, they were forced to change the way they do things. They are a product of their environment. How did the first Hybrids work out when gas prices were low? Terrible because they were not necessary.
The 2012 ZR1 run is all over YT. Go watch the video and enjoy. Based on some of the comments, you may lack the skill to find it.
was I the only one to notice the sweet little GoPro on the side there? =D
@7477238 even on the street, the difference between tenths of a second are very feelable. .3.7 into 3.3 is about 10% improvement. You wont ever feel tenths in a mini van etc. But speaking from my experience in my g8 gxp I could def feel the improvement from 4.8 to 4.5 after a couple small mods
look at the exhaust shake at 1:52 lol
@R34GTRR35 Its not the springs that cause or control the rear wheel bouncing during and IRS car burnout. It's a little more complicated than that I'm affraid.
@949rocco all driver and track conditions. The times will vary not to mention the average driver couldnt post GM's 0-60 time nor the 1/4 mile time
@Shockwawe1994. GM did make a "family" car if that's what you want. The Cadillac CTS-V. That car is sick. The worlds fastest production 4 door. Faster around the Nurburgring Nordschleife than a BMW M5 or a Mercedes Benz E63.
I'd love one, and this is coming from a BMW 1M owner.
@JMAHER1523 You need to take into consideration that there are plenty of factors and if you actually look on the Edmunds website you'll see what I'm talking about. Elevation, surface, air temperature, condition of the tires (May have been ragged on by a previous journalist) and the fact that the official times provided by the manufacturer are sometimes a bit optimistic. The same exact car tested in Death Valley will perform different than if tested on the East coast.
Thumbs up if you knew off the bat, that the first skid marks shown were the result of a power brake and not a power slide.
@Becharco Umm...no.
All ZR1s and Z06s are manual only. To burnout in a manual transmission car, you just dump the clutch and stomp on it.
@Janusha 2012 ZR1 7:19 on the Nurburgring....nuff said.
@Poptartza And the Zo6 Carbon for 2012 got the GT-R beat by 2 second, and the Zr1 beat it by 5 seconds. Also Zr1 is the 7th fastest car to run on Nurburgring, and the fastest FR car to ever run on Nurburgring. And Zo6 Carbon is the 3rd fastest FR car and the 9th fastest car. Both are 2012, both had only one upgrade, Pilot sport cup tires. Much better racing tires, but more expensive, expect the price to go up a bit. Also 2012 is the last year for Corvette C6 generation!
With a corvette automatic, there is no need to change gears right? the car does it for you?
@57dingdong it beats most italian sports cars. the porsche GT3 comes kinda close, but it's about $15,000 more
This car is kicks some serious fuckin ass when it comes down to performance, tourqe, horsepower, & everyting else thank you Chevy!
@TheArfdog well it is same company so u gotta pick and chose what u want
that time was will pilot cup tires. stock tires are much less grippy.
@ 36sec. jesus criminy that thing is what I need! ruthless!
@cjm04 I have sat in a ZR1, but didn't actually drive it. The interior wasn't bad but some more supportive seats and a nicer dash would be welcome. Callaway has some awsome leather Recaros for the corvette.
you know i LOVE my hondas, but this rlly makes me wana sell my EG6 and go ZR1!!
@vincevelasquez I don't know and I suggest you to forget about the spec V for now because it can't even deal with the black edition lol.
