“World’s Fastest” Corvette ZR1 Rated At 1,500 HP, Runs 9-Second Quarter Miles

Here at GM Authority, we are huge advocates of performance, except for when we aren’t. But when it comes to Corvettes and quarter-mile times, we’re all about it times infinity. So when we found a video titled “World’s Fastest Corvette ZR1”, our eyebrows raised, and we scoffed at such a claim. But with a power rating of 1,500 hp, and a quarter-mile time of just 9.68 seconds, it could very well be the fastest road-legal ZR1 that we know of. Oh, and it also hit 236 mph at the Texas Mile. That’s what happens when you twin turbo a 440 cubic inch V8.

Wow! Look at how quickly those needles bounce!
147 mph in the 1/4 mile if it weight is 3500 lbs that is only 867 horse pressure . They must use the FORD system to measure the power.
The Cobra Jet is a full second faster, and that’s a little embarassing.
And the fastest COPO Camaro is half a second faster than the fastest Cobrajet even tho the cobrajet has more displacement
Wow. I should get mine to the track since I can easily hit 95 half way down the freeway ramp next to my house. I have seen faster times for a Vette and definitely faster track times from other “street legal” cars. I seriously question the claim of 1,500 hp.
ford lover the day ford pass gm for excel in power is not today maybe tomorrow but dont count on this just look race car,,,the strong engine gm build and tuff..keep dreaming in your ford lonely world..
