Matt Farah has seen his fair share of incredibly fast cars, but it appears he has a new best friend in the 2019 C7 Corvette ZR1. Farah took to Road Atlanta to film a quick-take episode in the most powerful Corvette of all time, and there’s a lot of laughing and smiling behind the wheel.
Long story short, Farah found a lot to like about the Corvette ZR1. As a refresher, the car makes 755 horsepower from a 6.2-liter supercharged LT5 V8 engine with vast amounts of cooling, massive brakes and an aggressive aero package found with the optional ZTK performance pack.
On the track, the Corvette ZR1 shot down the straights like a bat out of hell (128 mph on the short straight), cut through the S-curves and stopped on a dime. Farah said the power is breathtaking, but the braking is a real star of the show.
And the noises only amplify the Corvette’s pretty superb aural experience. The Corvette ZR1 isn’t only the most powerful model ever built, it’s also the loudest. And we’re always OK with a louder small-block V8 engine.

Wow, Chevrolet’s future car. Design like Formula 1 racing car. Speed and power.
I own a ’17 Grand Sport and it is straight-up nasty. I couldn’t imagine this ZR1. Wow, an amazingly engineered vehicle. Superb!!!
Is the ZR1 worth 40k more then the ZO6?
That’s a subjective question, but…
-Exclusive LT5 engine
-Exclusive Carbon Ceramic brakes
-Exclusive carbon fiber front fascia
-etc., etc., etc..
Having all of these newly engineered parts isn’t cheap.
