Corvette ZR1 620bhp - ALLOCATION SECURED For Sale

The new 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1`s Supercharged 6. 2-liter V8 it will produce "greater than 620 horsepower at 6, 500 rpm and 595 pound-feet of torque in the 3, 600-to-4, 000-rpm range, depending on some last-minute tuning items."

So even GM doesn`t have a final power figure yet. Although you can be sure they`re not worried about making those numbers. Whether the ZR1 is rated at 625 hp or 633 hp or whatever, it won`t just be the most powerful Corvette production vehicle ever (including ones measured by the grossly overstated "SAE gross" figures of pre-1972), it won`t even be close. The power produced by the ZR1`s LS9 engine will be roughly the equivalent of three 1980s-era Corvette small-block V8s bolted together. It`ll produce more power than the Corvette C6. R that races at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Think of the Corvette lineup in Porche 911 terms. The base coupe and convertible Corvette are analogous to the standard Carrera and Carrera S. The Z06 is the GT3— the loud, hard-core choice of the performance junkie. The ZR1 is the Porsche Turbo. It`s devastatingly fast, but it`s also intended to be civilized. It`s available with a head-up instrument display, power-adjustable seats, high-end audio and Delphi`s smooth-riding MagneRide suspension dampers. It`s no raw-boned racer as at 3, 300 to 3, 400 pounds, the ZR1 is almost 300 pounds heavier than a Z06. Chevrolet consider that it`s more like the Carrera GT for much less money.

While Chevrolet is not yet making specific performance claims, they note that the ZR1 will be faster, quicker and more responsive in every way than a Z06. "You won`t see a huge difference in 0-60 mph because even the Z06 is traction-limited through most of that," he says. "But in the quarter-mile and tests from zero to 100 mph to zero, there will be big differences - this car will be able to take the production-car track record at any racetrack." As for top speed, Chevrolet says only that the 200-mph speedometer of the standard and Z06 Corvettes has been replaced with a 220-mph unit, because the standard one is "grossly inadequate."

The ZR1`S silhouette is, of course, the same and the overall dimensions are essentially identical to a Z06.
