Yeah, but the good kind of scary!! :)]]>Apr 25th 2008 3:54PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/25/video-corvette-zr1-posts-205-mph-top-speed/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/25/video-corvette-zr1-posts-205-mph-top-speed/
TT3KGT wins the math round.

But I have to say, I've never been a 'Vette guy, but the sound of that engine and the quality of that video really blew my mind.]]>Apr 25th 2008 4:02PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/25/video-corvette-zr1-posts-205-mph-top-speed/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/25/video-corvette-zr1-posts-205-mph-top-speed/Apr 25th 2008 12:06PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/25/video-corvette-zr1-posts-205-mph-top-speed/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/25/video-corvette-zr1-posts-205-mph-top-speed/
First the Corvette haters were pi$sing all over themselves in the ZR1 engine spec post, so they must be eating their own sh!t by now. Any more good news about the ZR1 and the ba$stards will just die.]]>Apr 25th 2008 5:26PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/25/video-corvette-zr1-posts-205-mph-top-speed/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/25/video-corvette-zr1-posts-205-mph-top-speed/Apr 25th 2008 12:09PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/25/video-corvette-zr1-posts-205-mph-top-speed/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/25/video-corvette-zr1-posts-205-mph-top-speed/
Unless the aero mods on the ZR1 are putting that much downforce... I think this is not true as the ZR1 is a softer sprung car then the Z06 and I would think you would run into bottoming the car out with more downforce then the z06.]]>Apr 25th 2008 12:22PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/25/video-corvette-zr1-posts-205-mph-top-speed/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/25/video-corvette-zr1-posts-205-mph-top-speed/Apr 25th 2008 12:29PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/25/video-corvette-zr1-posts-205-mph-top-speed/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/25/video-corvette-zr1-posts-205-mph-top-speed/Apr 25th 2008 2:14PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/25/video-corvette-zr1-posts-205-mph-top-speed/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/25/video-corvette-zr1-posts-205-mph-top-speed/The gearing is as good as it is going to get. It will still have a hard time off the line.
Shift points should be
1st-60mph, 2nd-90, 3rd-120, 4th-145, 5th-180, 6th-220@6500 (downhill with tail wind)

The Cd must have taken a hit, or the intercooler capacity must not be able to move all those BTUs.]]>Apr 25th 2008 4:51PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/25/video-corvette-zr1-posts-205-mph-top-speed/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/25/video-corvette-zr1-posts-205-mph-top-speed/
Was.

AWESOME. ]]>Apr 25th 2008 12:12PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/25/video-corvette-zr1-posts-205-mph-top-speed/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/25/video-corvette-zr1-posts-205-mph-top-speed/Apr 25th 2008 12:14PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/25/video-corvette-zr1-posts-205-mph-top-speed/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/25/video-corvette-zr1-posts-205-mph-top-speed/Apr 25th 2008 12:15PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/25/video-corvette-zr1-posts-205-mph-top-speed/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/25/video-corvette-zr1-posts-205-mph-top-speed/Apr 25th 2008 12:16PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/25/video-corvette-zr1-posts-205-mph-top-speed/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/25/video-corvette-zr1-posts-205-mph-top-speed/Apr 25th 2008 1:42PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/25/video-corvette-zr1-posts-205-mph-top-speed/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/25/video-corvette-zr1-posts-205-mph-top-speed/
"That makes the ZR1 easily the most powerful vehicle General Motors has ever produced and puts the king of Corvettes into a mighty exclusive club. The ZR1 essentially matches the output of the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 and trails the extra-extreme limited-edition Ferrari Enzo by only a smidge. Perhaps, just as important to Chevrolet, is that the ZR1 brings 38 hp more to the American-car smackdown than the new Dodge Viper.

And at an estimated weight of 3,350 pounds, each of the ZR1's horses will have only 5.25 pounds of Vette to carry around. That weight-to-power ratio is closer to the Enzo (5 pounds) than the Viper (5.75 pounds). The Murcielago LP640 saddles each of its horses with almost 6.5 pounds. The ZR1's hp peak comes at 6,500 rpm. Its torque peak of 604 pound-feet comes at a low 3,800 rpm. Passing should not present a problem in the ZR1."

It's an amazing car. It will be interesting to see what this powertrain does to the CTS-V and Camaro when those hit the streets too.

Even more so when tuners get ahold of all these cars. ]]>Apr 25th 2008 12:16PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/25/video-corvette-zr1-posts-205-mph-top-speed/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/25/video-corvette-zr1-posts-205-mph-top-speed/I just wish they had built a limited run of the Sixteen just before CAFE kicked in. That would have been so great, a final 'Hurrah!']]>Apr 25th 2008 12:35PM
