Jumper_Dad Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 is GM's most powerful car ever | Fox News The 2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 isn’t just the most powerful Corvette yet, but the most powerful General Motors car ever made. The new “King of the Hill” has a 755 hp 6.2-liter V8 sticking out of its hood, thanks to a supercharger that’s over 50 percent larger than the one used by the now relatively weak-kneed 650 hp Corvette Z06. Consider for a moment that is also 300 hp more than the base Corvette Stingray and you realize this car means the business. The engine is fitted with port and direct fuel injection and also sends 715 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels through a standard 7-speed manual, or optional 8-speed automatic transmission. The car is undeniably cool, even when it’s parked, but will surely look even better when it hits the street and track next spring at a price that hasn’t been announced, but will likely be north of the $112,000 the last ZR1 went for in 2012.

theguru Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Love it! At the same time I am guessing very few members here at BGP can afford one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kygirl Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Corvette, the only car I've ever driven that gives me goose bumps just by starting it up. The 2019 ZR1 is one sharp looking ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnottieDrippen Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 The wing is goofy, but there is no substitute for a Corvette. The Z06 is incredibly fun to drive. I imagine this one will just be intimidating, if not scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumper_Dad Posted November 14, 2017 Author Share Posted November 14, 2017 I don't like the wing. It provides 950 pounds of down force to keep you planted on the road. :lol2: There is a smaller one available but I think the top speed is a little less.

swamprat Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Poor man's muscle car. The Bugatti Vision GT will crank out over 1200 hp and do over 278 mph. Of course that is for a cool $5.6 million, tax, tag, and title. Can you imagine what a set of wipers for that thing would cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I rode in either one at those speeds, I would definitely need wipers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched a show about Bugatti and showed they building them from start to finish. Very impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah they are built more like a jet than a car...pretty impressive as you said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumper_Dad Posted November 14, 2017 Author Share Posted November 14, 2017 On "Fast and Loud" the current car build is a 200 MPH 1972 Pantera for Kurt Busch...budget is about $200K which included $125K for the Donor car and some free help from Busch's team building the roll cage for the car. Truth is there are few cars that realistically approach those speeds, many may claim to but few actually hit 200 MPH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumper_Dad Posted November 14, 2017 Author Share Posted November 14, 2017 When Porsche makes their next 210 MPH production car, it will probably be their first and it won't be available for anywhere near approaching the price of this Corvette.
