I take a look at the new 1,064 Horsepower Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 at the world premier in Miami, FL. My Z06 Videos: • Chevrolet Z06 #corvette #zr1 #automobile
If it could launch like the Z06 I'd say about the same as 765LT Edit: some big factors should be considered here This car weighs about 100kgs more than the SF90 and that's the ZTK package. Also how much more power will it have on E85?
Brooks,I say prepped track a 9.67 at 153 and maybe a 9.50 at 155.. it will be stout.. the yellow is growing on me. Im getting lo spoiler limited option car..we have a good wait tho.. than I see the awd version coming after.. with 1400hp..What color you getting? ✌Dan
Can’t believe they did the right thing with the ZR1 this time. No more mass produced Denali/Escalade/camaro done up motor with a sc on it. Best move GM has done.
@@bigadielldne7234People usually say that something like the GM LT6, Bmw S65, Ferrari F136 (NA flat plane V8) Honda NA i4’s, Voodoo/Coyote, etc. have no torque. They all make very healthy amounts of torque given their displacement and everything else considered. They might sacrifice some torque at lower rpm in exchange for more torque at higher rpm. Anyone with more than two brain cells knows that the same torque at higher rpm means more power. Less torque at lower rpm can easily be remedied by gearing, especially considering the engine revs high, ultimately making more torque to the wheels than a lower revving engine making the same torque.
@@PapiAndrey Almost all hypo engines (high reving internally upgraded small blocks) S2k’s F20C and F22C1, K20’s in Type-R’s, Ford/GM 302’s/coyotes, 327, 331, 347, 383, LS7 are all instant classic for a reason. And GM understood that, this time around. No offense C6 ZR1 guys, but you know it’s true. lol.
My days this is hypercar territory...no hybrid nonsense...incredible exotic V8 💪 Definately worth every penny 😎 Take the coupe...split window and all that heat extraction 👌
@@thanosianthemadtitanic bugatti is luxurious and 30times more expensive amd sold out...tjis Vette is a "poor mans" SSC Tuaratar/Hennessey Venom F5 or Egg CC850 or Pagani Utopia
The best! Chevy better get wise and put our guy at the top of the deliveries list. Nobody influences sales of performance cars like Brooks does. The most trusted automotive journalist in the industy by far. Should get the red carpet treatment. Especially becuase I believe he's getting a Mustang GTD and the ZR1 is going to smoke it heads up. Chevy are you listening???
@@CockNBallTorture69 that’s a complete lie. Everything you said. You have to be picked to even buy one. Yes they are limited. And no they won’t sell like hot cakes. Heard the same garbage about the z06. lol. Why do they let ignorant clueless kids like you even comment?
If you're looking for 1/4 races, get the coupe and WITHOUT the aero package. It weighs less and the aero package reduces top speed due to the downforce.
Agreed.. Below is my comment from another subscriber about this subject: Absolutely yes. With no high downforce package to maximize his potential in the drag races and street races and roll races... And I truly hope he gets full bolt ons and ECU and tcu tuning with full exhaust upgrade and maybe even methane injection and an icebox to keep everything ice cold in that hot Florida heat..
Wonder if the car has E85 Flex logic stock... GM definately has the technology. It's already in a ton of their production cars. If not, race gas will get it there just as easy... Those turbos are huge 76/67... Custom TT Huracans often run 62/66s on 5.2 liter v10s for reference... Let that sink in... And zr1 motor is even more stout... It's really going to come down to what the transmission can take... it is beefed up as well but the DCTs in these types of cars is always the weak point. That's going to be the main factor that limits the times. If the DCT is strong enough, it will go 7s with minimal modifications. If not it will get stuck in the 8s
EVERYONE was expecting since before the C8 was released and we knew and was told what stages🙄………I bet you’ll be surprised when the Zora comes out, like we having been talking about it for 5 years! 😂🤷🏽♂️
I understand and I'm thinking the zr1 will win if it has no high downforce package.. Especially over a longer race like a one or two mile street race..
~3700 pounds ~910 rwhp vs ~3000 pounds and ~750 rwhp... Drivers race but the ZR1 is going to be pulling harder. ZR1 will win more than it loses... and on rolls it will walk it. Huge Turbos, more displacement, more hp. Chevy flopped their nuts out with this one
@@AJUSA1 agreed and definitely with all the restrictive exhaust systems and everything else to make it compliant everywhere the first thing this ZR-1 needs as soon as it is unwrapped from the dealership floor, is to get a straight piped exhaust and have the gas tank filled with ethanol, and have an excellent E85 ecu retune done on it by a reputable aftermarket tuner, so that way it sounds the way it was always meant to and can make the correct amount of horsepower right off the bat, because Normal pump gas is not going to do this engine Justice... and I really hope Brooks does full bolt ons also, so that way it sounds the way it was always meant to and makes power numbers more along the lines of its true hidden potential..
@@Sleepingcoffee979 destroyed , haha, ok. Possibly beat agreed. Vette needs traction also. We should all be stoked we have so many choices for great cars and not dissing on others that push the bar.
I appreciate all of the hard work done by the GM Team. Every GM, Ford or Dodge motor has been Super Charged or Turbo'd within the first 4 months of availability in Michigan since 2001. It is unique when GM finally offers a twin turbo that we've proven to be boost capable since ever motor forever and I appreciate that for all of the owners that aren't capable of getting the work done by themselves know the production motor is stout. I do invite all of the people that think they are fast to come up and enjoy Woodward Dream Cruise and have some fun up here at Road Kill Nights on Woodward AVE. The original road of big three racing on real streets in America. Think about the biggest car cruise you've ever seen or imagined... then multiply by 10 and you might be close. It's a fun part of automotive history and everyone needs to get up here to Michigan and enjoy it in August at least once in their lifetime as a car person. Think about 12 miles of six lanes of great cars cruising. Then contemplate that people with money fly their fleet of cars in on 747 cargo planes to have fun. :)
@@Rebourn135 the Ford GT is a Ford but is not built by Ford. It's hand built by Multimatic. The ZR1 is truly a USA Kentucky made super car. The Ford GT is made in Ontario Canada.
I watched that video. He said around 150mph, not 155. If it was 155, which it's not, then I'm going with an 8.9 with a tire. It'll be a great race with a McLaren 765lt considering the power to weight ratio and the 765lt traps 150mph and runs a 9.3 with Toyo R888R tires.
@@BlackWhiteBeast The other video it was said over 150mph, maybe 151? We will all find out once people get their hands on this beast. I’m still going with low 9s with a tire.
Just saw the TopGear video on this and my first thought was...will DragTimes be getting one....putting a bit/lot of caution on those claimed times with the RWD...get the coupe
@@executiveinvestments, whether Lambo is trying to compete with Chevrolet is irrelevant. If Chevy develops a car that can match or beat Lambo’s best, at a lower price, there will be customers who will buy. Being the king in name only means nothing…and that’s a quick way to be dethroned. G’day mate.
@@mebeingU2 lmao. Match or beat lamps best? Says who? What are the track times? This car ain’t beating anything with its 3900lb suv weight. Lmao. And nobody that’s high class buys a poor mans plastic Ferrari. Go cry about it.
Mclaren, Lambo, Ferrari, Porsche etc about to be traded in at Chevy dealers next year. What a time to be alive. Don’t tell me they won’t either…They will in droves for this beast.🇺🇸
A thousand + horsepower back in the day seemed extremely powerful and fast, but when you have the Rimac Nevera just murdering the competition with ease, you just don't get excited anymore over the announcement of a new 1000+ hp car from America….
Ah yes, you can have a 2-door coupe that's probably gonna start at $200k and be over $260k with options, and it will be around the same acceleration level performance as an $83,500 Tesla.
@@rustler08 A Tesla that loses half of it's charge and range and won't charge at all in cold enough weather and catches fire if too hot. A Tesla, on top of all of that, it has no voice so nothing to say.
@@AndrasMihalyiexactly, that's why he needs to do proper ECU and TCU tuning with full bolt ons, and then race those cars in roll races only starting at 100 mph, and then going at least one or two miles to really see what's what, and he definitely needs the coupe without the high down Force package..
It will be $300,000 - $500,000 on the secondary market. That price range will unfortunately make it a garage queen. Demand for this will be infinite. People that would traditionally buy a ZR1 won’t even be able to due to limited availability. Just like what the GT2 became. It’s sold but never seen.
Apparently there is no limited availability they will make as many as they can but yes the price will be astronomical. There is zero point them even putting a sticker price on it.
American politics not so much but this right here is truly what America can do when it gets serious & uses its brains! McLaren, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Bugatti, Porsche you have now officially been notified & forewarned! Absolutely bonkers! The sound could be deeper to me I don't care so much about bangs & pops but that low roar deep rumble just feels better in your ear! 🇺🇸✌️💯
@@AndrasMihalyi lol right. They only and I mean only 2 dodge cars ever worth 390k or more are the 70 charger Daytona and the ultra rare special edition vipers
Upgrade looks great. But, I wouldn't trade the convenience of having a front trunk for useful cool storage to go with the convenience of the convertible. To each his own.
Rumors are the Zora will blast thru all power expectations and have at least 1500hp on pump gas, so we'll see.. the same people that were ridiculed and made fun of and dismissed and ignored when they said the zr1 would have at least 950 or more horsepower on pump gas are now predicting the Zora will have a hell of a lot more power than people were thinking the Zora would have, because up until a few days ago everybody thought the Zora would be the only one with over a thousand horsepower, so don't count the zora out, it probably will end up being a lot faster and a lot more powerful than anybody is predicting right now..
Very cool corvette but I am disappointed that Chevy doesn’t have active aero. It’s the next step and others have been using it for years now, what are they waiting for?
2.3 seconds in a rwd 🤔 powerful z06 which is close to 650hp itself is struggling for traction. Now zr1 is 1024 hp with rwd. Maybe if tried on a prepped surface 100 times , 2.3 seconds maybe possible
I'd like to see what it puts out tuned for E85 I'm also curious to see what Dodge does with the Hellcat family to counter. Also can't wait to see what the torque curve does when the tuners remove that plateau. Mine had a flat torque plateau like I'd guess most modern turbos go, but tuning took it from just over 400 to just under 600. This thing is going to SCREAM with a tune. Coupe all the way!
Absolutely yes. With no high downforce package to maximize his potential in the drag races and street races and roll races... And I truly hope he gets full bolt ons and ECU and tcu tuning with full exhaust upgrade and maybe even methane injection and an icebox to keep everything ice cold in that hot Florida heat..
Corvette at this point needs to split out to be its own company. No owner of this Corvette should have to wait behind a Cobalt and Bolt in the service line. This is officially a super car.
@@63Imp283 Yeah that's probably my least favorite swap tbh. Might as well do the 3800 V6 for the same power. That 5.5L won't be available for a long time I'm guessing. We can only dream.
Imagine this engine with a Bored stroker kit to make it like 7 L with bigger turbos, hotter camshafts, methane injection, straight piped exhaust and an icebox with full bolt ons and proper ECU and transmission strengthening upgrades, and then put in an ultra lightweight carbon fiber bodied carbon wheeled all wheel drive wide body Miata with giant sized rear tires lol😅
I’d still like to see the actual race and then we’ll see who can smoke who :) I still bet on Plaid 💪 due to instant hp, quarter mile and 0-60. ZR1 might win after quarter mile
@@faizannaqvi9833 ZR1 isn’t even the fastest C8 the Zora is going have the same engine as the ZR1 combined with a hybrid AWD system. It’s going to have 1300HP to 1500HP
@@Hi-un7gvYes, the C8-Zora will compete with the Tesla Roadster, which is set to enter production next year. It's a hypercar versus hypercar scenario, even though the Plaid and ZR1 are also classified as hyper vehicles. However, Chevy is positioning the C8 at a price point comparable to European levels, making it inaccessible to the average American. I doubt you'll see regular folks driving around in a ZR1 or Zora.
still wont be able to beat the plaid...4wd + instant torque > 40 hp advantage the corvette has. no doubt the zr1 has more soul...the zora will be a monster
@@electrikoptik yes the zr1 isn't out...but I'm basing this on similar cars out rn. The Demon 170 is around 800 lbs lighter than the plaid and has a similar hp # to the zr1, yet still gets smoked by half a second in drag races. Honestly, it isn't as much of the power output but rather how much power these rwd monsters can put to the ground, which isn't that much especially compared to the instant torque with an EV. The plaid's instant torque advantage lets it beat hybrid supercars like the Revuelto and Sf90 that have similar power outputs and weigh thousands of pounds lighter.
"So glad they didnt go with a hybrid powetrain" Yeah because 1000 hp to just the rear wheels instead of a more efficient non turbo LT6 + another 300 hp to the front wheels at the same weight (no additional radiators needed for C8Z NA motor) is just stupid. RWD > AWD. Spinning is winning. Also, GM has a track record of these flagships suffering from heat problems, C7 A8 goes into limp mode, C7Z was plagued with overheating problems. GM "brags" about the LT7 turbos getting as hot as the Space Shuttle upon reentry. Heat = entropy. Heat is never good and never something to brag about. The C8 ZR1 will be plagued with problems.

I finished the buy back process for my c8 from gm - the day this car info was released….. The transmission kept having issues, the ac stopped working, but could have been addressed by the dealer- but the dealers kept dodging the service request. So yes, the service process was a nightmare….. But, the experience was fun overall. I beat a few street bikes, just with the base model
If you think it's broken in well and you want to see what it can do, you need an extreamy good road surface and if you spin out, safety barriers like a real race track keep it safe, light, you alone. You got that kind of money? Dream on.
Well well well... Look who I found trolling around in the comments section! Checking out your video now. And what up with your boy Eddie and that leak? We gonna get the inside story on how that went down or what?
yeah you need this. gonna be awesome. Im thinkin same. would be cool next to my 19 ZR1 and my 91 ZR1. I would drive the bleep outta this! ‘merica. thanks for vid, was great
Vents are for air going out, scoops are for air going in. Coupe or convertible, either one is a dream car …but if you go coupe, no aero pack! So much better looking. This thing better trap 145+
Well Ford & Dodge,ya did you're best! Lol,they're all great but hats off to Chevy from the base Stingrays to this there's something for almost everyone. Can't even imagine what that feels like & bear in mind that's 215+ w/ that huge wang. Actually I like the Vert..
this car is road legal and it had a anti-lag system out straight from production, this blows my mind. goodbye turbo lag and hello instant torque and acceleration.
Brooks also with your driving skills this should do a good bit better in the 1/4 and especially in the half and full mile runs compared to the sf90 and 765lt..so let's say 9.1 at close to 160 for you.. And in perfect cool weather with drag slicks.. 9 flat at 161...9.3 in a 765lt means with this cars better power you'll get 9.1.. If u get basic bolt ons and proper ECU tuning and tcu tuning.. High 8's for you in the mid 160's..
I think initially the first few people to test run this will run the ZR1 between 9.7-9.9 @144-146. But after some seat time with people perfecting the launch and some cool weather for the winter some people might be able to knock off some 9.4s- 9.5s between 148-150.
The there was a veggie drink commercial where you’d slap your own forehead and would say “I could’ve had a V8!” GTD buyers could’ve bought two ZR1s. Always cutting edge & great stuff! 👍👍 It’d be nice if Brooke could teach Jason from Engineering Explained how to lower his reaction time.
Brooks, hopefully, you will receive an allocation for the new ZR1. If you do, I think you would definitely have to go for the Coupe as it would be way more functional than the convertible.
