Liam B Those are Laguna seca pipes. Look it up, they point to the left to keep the noise inside the track at Laguna Seca. That part of California has retarded noise regulations so manufacturers had to install those on
Just want to bring to everyone's attention that this is not a recorded run or anything, probably just testing the waters. You have to realize the c6 zr1 ran 7:19 so this will definitely top that. I'd be expecting very low 7s at least. ACR ran 7:12
That wing is clearly static and the rumor is at least 700hp so it's all speculation at best. It's also worth noting that no front engine rear wheel drive production car has ever broken 7:10. Will it be the first it's possible but cracking the 6 minute is highly unlikely with it's current chassis.
I do agree it's basically a stg 4 pack. Name will likely not have Z06 in it to justify the price and performance. GM did trademark the ZR1 name last yr if I'm not mistaken. I wouldn't be surprised engine is called LT9.
NOT AN ARGUMENT: POSSIBLY SO. , THERE IS REALLY NO TELLING WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO, BECAUSE THEY HARDLY KNOW THEMSELVES! HAHA THEY COULD TRY TO DRAG IT OUT EVEN LONGER! TRY AND MILK IT FOR ALL ITS WORTH. BEFORE THEY FINALLY COME OUT WITH THE 'ZR1'. UNTIL THEY FINALLY OFFICALLY ANNOUNCE, THAT THIS IS INDEED, THE NEW "ZR1', THEN IT COULD VERY WELL BE ANYTHING. BUT, IT PROBABLY IS THE NEW 'ZR1'. SO THAT, WHEN THEY COME OUT WITH THAT NEW "REAR ENGINE" CORVETTE, THEN THEY CAN *DRAG THAT OUT, AND MILK IT! FOR ALL IT IS WORTH!* .. AND SEVERAL YEARS DOWN THE LINE FROM THAT, THEY WILL FINALLY INTRODUCE THE *ZR1* FOR THAT NEW REAR ENGINE MODEL, ALSO!
There are at least 4 different Corvettes in this video. The one with grey doors and black mirrors I think has a supercharger wine. Listen for yourself, but I don't think the others do. I think they may have the new DOHC.
ok its 3 vettes, I think the one with the red mirrors is the supercharged ZR1, the one with the grey doors is the Z06, and the high tail might be the TT ZR1
The E46 M3 videos also have traffic. I'm messing around though because even the C6 ZR1 put down a time faster than this and we know the new one will be faster than that.
Fultzy02 With that being said, as a BMW fan I gotta add that the BMWs that are doing 7:30s are using a manual transmission and probably have half the horsepower as this car.
A 3rd party got the Z06 around the ring in 7:13 which is the only official number we have. There's no reason as to why GM couldn't get the current ZR-1 to go faster than that.
This is great and all, but I am starting to worry about why they haven't posted an official lap time. Is it because it's not below the 6 minute mark? How can you have a 755 hp car with proper aero and tires NOT go around in 6:50?! How can you have a car with 55 hp and 200 torque more torque than a GT2RS NOT go around in 6:50?! Is it because it weight an additional 400 lbs or has GM just royally effed up a great name?
You completly right! But if i'm right they also didnt posted a time of the C6 ZR1 or the Camaro ZR1, Viper ACR etc. Think that the Americans dont think its interesting or so??
@@CarspotterJeroen Incorrect. Here is the Camaro ZL1. ua-cam.com/video/t4zSIVpVMaw/v-deo.html Here is the C6 ZR1. ua-cam.com/video/k6mEirkQN8o/v-deo.html Dodge never ran the gen V viper ACR at the Ring.

I wish the LT series engines weren't forced induction because it changed the sound. In my opinion the older LS engines sounded better (They had more of a raw sound, especially when straight piped).
WOW!...that's pretty Good for the 2018 C7 ZR1, at time mark 3:19 on the video it went 7:33.25! Now for Comparison the 2017 Camaro ZL1 went 7:29:60, the 2016 Shelby GT350R went 7:32:19 and for Honorable mention the 2013/14 Shelby GT500 went 7:39:28! But the Best Part is that they are all American V8 Powered Car's made in America!...God Bless America!
I'm anxious to see if we're gonna be one of the lucky dealerships qualified to work on this beast. Might help that we have the best Corvette/transmission tech from what was the #1 Corvette dealer in SoCal for decades...
Honestly it would be hilarious if Chevy decided to use a flat plane crank and then give it 800+ HP just to shove it in Ford's face, haha. I don't think they will, but it would be funny.
I wish they'd stick to pushrods due to the racing advantages (and sound). Looks like the C8 will move to a DOHC with a flat-plane crank, which would simply be for marketing purposes more than anything.
7:30 in traffic is disappointing & it's not that much traffic. This car will have to achieve sub 7:05 times to show a real jump in performance. This time of 7:30 is 10 seconds than the 2009 ZR1 which dominated when it came out & showed the world for a 110K it was a real steal....
Ya know, people are questioning whether supercharger or twin turbo, but to be honest, im not hearing neither. not in high revs where a blower would be screaming. or in low rev slow driving where youd hear the turbos . im thinking this thing is somehow naturally aspirated. if not the they are masking the blowers sound. chevey would never go twin turbo from factory.
I see three different Vettes in this vid. Full camo with black mirrors, full camo with red mirrors, and camo with grey doors and black mirrors. I didn't see a lap timer, or the start/finish line. I saw some idiot's iPhone with 7:31 on a timer. So, my conclusion is this is edited vid of three different test mules dicking around at the ring...
But still... It can do it much better without the traffic. When they will do al track-record time they rent the whole circuit between 17:00 and 17:30. When I was there a Mclaren P1 GTR rented the car at that time. So no official tracktimes yet!
Wrong, the best time was about 7:12 in one continuous lap. www.corvetteblogger.com/2018/04/16/bridge-gantry-reports-unofficial-712-lap-time-2019-corvette-zr1-nurburgring/
The. Amish.Sasquatch it's supposedly will be in the next gen corvette the C8 code named ZORA that will debut alongside the current gen slated for 2019 but we will see.
The Corvette is getting better and better , year after an other!
Abdelkefi Mohamed Lotfi || theyre probably trying to get it to compete with the ford gt.
@I suck at being bad i think the c7 is looking worse than the c6, but the c8 tops them all
@@artic8516now we have a mustang that broke the sub 7 minute lap. We thought it was going to be a corvette.

yeah that sounds awesome
Nothing sounds better when set up right.
Juan Suarez is it twin turbo or supercharged
It has an Eaton supercharger and supposedly makes around 750 hp.
Cygnus307 800 hp plus faggi
Wonder if that exhaust will make it to production stage haha
d15z1sux it’s silenced exhaust.
Just want to bring to everyone's attention that this is not a recorded run or anything, probably just testing the waters. You have to realize the c6 zr1 ran 7:19 so this will definitely top that. I'd be expecting very low 7s at least. ACR ran 7:12
atolar23 That was the previous ACR too. I'm sure this will run deep 7s or 6s even.
It's not going to beat the ACR there and it's not going to have enough HP to get in the 6 second range with that weight.
It's rumored to be 750-800 hp, with active areo. This thing will be in the sixes.
That wing is clearly static and the rumor is at least 700hp so it's all speculation at best. It's also worth noting that no front engine rear wheel drive production car has ever broken 7:10. Will it be the first it's possible but cracking the 6 minute is highly unlikely with it's current chassis.

the larger grill and Wing are a dead giveaway
the Vette team said they were going to focus on airflow and downforce.

Its hilarious how some people think that time is an official one or the corvettes attempt around the track
it’s funny cause i’m still wondering where is the official run with time?
i hear it’s 7:04 sec but i can’t find the run..........
@@bigjdm5460 fastest zr1 did it in 6:56
@@bigjdm5460they didn’t publish it cause they didn’t break the sub 7 minute barrier. Now we got a mustang doing it officially😂
That's definitely a supercharger on there

+GARTH BINGAMAN The whole DOHC thing is coming to the C8. This is just a more powerful Z06 engine
Michael McDonald we dont know what the dohc thing is about we dont know what the c8 will be hell ot might be the caddy motor
you can hear it at like 0:39
4:42 as well loud
Very talented driver, sounds incredible
I love the New Corvette!!!
I love all corvettes!!!
I love the sound of the Corvette LS and LT V8! 🔥🏆
Da Beast Has Risen!!!
Snappy transmission.
Why are the exhaust pipes dabbing?
Speedy Spartan "camouflage"
Speedy Spartan because of noice regulations. the car was too loud, so some sort of mufflers had to be added
Speedy Spartan you are cringing me
I cringe *everybody*.
Noise reduction, the track requires a maximum noise level to participate. GM probably made it too loud or are covering up the exhaust.
That Window swipe at 4:55
The exhaust are dabbing wow
Amazing video, I love that car!
Thanks! Me too!
The Corvette is "dabbing" at all the other manufacturers it is going to destroy.
The 8-speed Auto sounds insane when it shifts 🤤
that overun sounds amazing upon the lift off of the throttle 😍
That Sound !!!! I need one of These in my Life :)
Damn can't wait for the official reveal!
Definitely going to be 1 of the fastest car on track ever made
As far as i know Viper did a 7:10.xx not 7:01.xx
7:30.xx with traffic means I guess 7:05.xx-7:10.xx without traffic I guess
I really like the new exhaust. I hope they keep it on the production model!
Larz it's just there for noise cancelation the stock exhaust was probably to loud.
Yeah. I was being sarcastic. looks similar to the setups at laguna seca.
ok its 3 vettes, I think the one with the red mirrors is the supercharged ZR1, the one with the grey doors is the Z06, and the high tail might be the TT ZR1
they are running 2 different spoiler settings. so is the 7:30 official?
Not even close. That was in traffic, and development isn't finished. this run was just to test whatever changes they've been making.
You can hear that thing from a Mile Away and by the way the Opening clip was Awesome
Laguna Seca exhaust ?
coubie74 Camo makes me think the real exhaust will be something special they don't want to release yet
I work down by the Warren Tech Center in Michigan and saw one of these, not with the big wing but still pretty awesome
With or without camoflage?
Definitely has V-Tec technology in it..
PBWillyWonka 😂😂😂 LMAO
That lilttle toaster car at 4:46 lol
7:30? E46 M3s from 05 are putting down times close to that with the rear seats removed and coilovers.
A A the title says with traffic and this isn't official
The E46 M3 videos also have traffic. I'm messing around though because even the C6 ZR1 put down a time faster than this and we know the new one will be faster than that.

The new engine will probably be what the LS9 was to the LSA. Stronger, more exotic internal materials and larger displacement supercharger.

Not bad but can it beat the viper acr 7:01
Lovely
LOL took that Porsche for a walk around the park.. Sitt doggie, Chevy has you by the leash.
How many corvettes were they testing? I saw gray door, red mirrors, and short wing.
I think there were three. Havent noticed the short yet! Good find!
1:08 , 1:48 , 2:28, 2:48, 3:43, and 4:24
I think 4.
*ALVIS GOMEZ: IT LOOKS LIKE 3 WERE BEING TESTED - 2 WITH THE HIGH WING - AND 1 WITH THE LOW WING.*
Alvis Gomez in the description the guy says they were testing 3 corvettes.
Oh man!!! 2:45 sounds so sick!!! Its sooo cool!!!!
the one with the small wing is defintlitly NA. Sounds high revving also
Negative
Everyone is saying it will be a DOHC setup but it really doesn't sound like a DOHC. At least I don't think so
The people who said that are retarded. This is simply a more powerful Z06 engine
Michael McDonald yea that makes more sense
Yeah, this sound exactly like the other LT small-block engines, but I'm sure this one is making the most power.
Oh, and just so you know, it's DOHC, not DHOC.
Dual Head Over Cam...
2:45 Oh i love you Murica
I heard a Supercharger on one and a possible low spool on the other at the beginning of the vid.
Compare 1:45 to 5:56 and tell me what you've noticed.
p1 is a lot lower and faster
AHHH! I see! Both cars are going down the road.
different wings!
Exactly! P1 is so much faster. I would expect new ZR1 to be nearly that fast but simply a new ZR1 is noticeable slower. What a shame!
Yes but we don't know nothing about new ZR1. Maybe there some kind of vacuum there.
The red mirror one has a different front grill than the other ones. If you look closely. Also has a more pronounced front splitter.
the ZR1r with the big wing is doing 6:50's around the Ring! The Z06 is in the very low 7:00 and will get into the 6:50's.
I want to put a F1x procharger in one and. some 17×4 and 15×10 s with slicks and rc comps
At 1:45 the guy in the Porsche Cayman probably thought that Corvette was on steroids as it blew past by him.
Absolutely savage...
I hope GM does an official lap time. I wanna see how fast the ZR1 actually is compared to other super cars that are much more expensive than it is
Man I hope they changed the aero kit for higher top speeds
Please Chevy, make that roofline above the windshield a little lower, looks a lot better.
the new ZR1 is 6:24 or 6:30 800 hp plus 9,000 RPM
Honestly it would be hilarious if Chevy decided to use a flat plane crank and then give it 800+ HP just to shove it in Ford's face, haha. I don't think they will, but it would be funny.

damn that thing moves!!
When is the mid engined version coming out?
Porque não fizeram uma volta rápida oficial com o ZR1?

that engine sounds quite different is it still the 6.2 ?
It just blows the doors on everything on the track! Awesome car! Very well skilled driver!
Is this a DCT? The shifts sound pretty crisp with no liftoff. Hmm...
Mark Ferris 10 Speed automatic
hows it too loud for a race track?
There are regulations because the racetrack is Close to ppls homes and Nature Reserve

2. Little wing
3. With red mirrors
