2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 Track Video


Author:InsideLineVideo
Description:CHECK OUT THE EXCLUSIVE ZR1 FULL TEST: http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Drives/FullTests/articleId=134347 Brute force, a quality we can't help but assign to any car generating 638 horsepower, is by definition anything but subtle. Yet the 2009 Chevy Corvette ZR1 manages at once to be both brutally quick and remarkably mild-mannered. Its quarter-mile acceleration is quicker than any production car we've ever tested, its chassis is benign but highly capable and its carbon-ceramic brakes are mind-bending in their effectiveness. This new Vette offers an unlikely combination of performance and real-world usability that we're proud to experience in an American car. This combination is as rare as truth in a presidential debate. Honestly, most of the ZR1's competition (think Dodge Viper ACR) or Nissan GT-R)) is less capable and makes a much larger compromise in typical road driving. With the 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 we have a machine that is engaging to drive, capable of making insane numbers on the test track and also a legitimate road car.

what! 0-60 in 3.8? the zo6 does 0-60 in 3.5, the zr1 does it in 3.2 or better depending on the driver.

I live and dream to Drive a ZR1 i love a Corvette more than a girl or other things

60-0 in 96 feet!!!!!!! DAMN I love the ZR1. You know what I am buying first thing if I hit the lottery!

I will buy domestics if it means keeping my neighbor employed.

the zo6 and zr1's are the ONLY domestic cars i would ever buy! I dont drive domestics, but chevrolet has my respect because of this MAGNIFICENT BEAST! =). I love the gt-r to death. But reality....this car is slighty better, in just about every category. Gota accept it! Love both cars.

Normally, I'm not a fan of boosted engines but this ZR1 is just fuckin' insane. Having said that, I would definitely put the Pratt and Miller C6RS (with the E85) up against the ZR1 and see how that goes. Long Live the Corvette, bitches.

fuck paying 1million for the Le Mans Blue, in this color it looks way better n its cheaper

WOW! Finally a video track test without cheesy music/commentary behind it. We just want to hear the car, guys! Nice post!

it has a dual disk clutch, it is the tire that are the weak link

11.2? need a better driver! the zr1 can run 10 sec easy! coz the z06 runs 11.1 1/4 mile stock with a baddass drivaa

some ppl have more money than they know what to do with even in this economy... the ppl that buy these cars can more than likely buy several...

It really depends on what you consider best in what, but I do know this; LET HAVE IT!

it is truly the best car in the world

si eso ahi ayudandole el computador

geez, the tire squeals a lot in gear changing

this car does every thing effortlessly. congrats

I can't belive they are being sold $50k over msrp in this economy

batman

they need a better driver i have seen this car run 11.2 in the 1/4 mile with a bad driver this car can get into the 10's no problem in stock from the c6 z06 has already done it but this car is a monster

Thats it though. The Atom is a piece of shit. It weighs like three times less the ZR1 but achieved slower slalom speeds, less lateral g and longer stoping distances in the edmunds track test. It only won in acceleration but lost by a big margin in every other test. How embarrassing is that for such a light car???

Not the only american car that can corner. The americans have been making cars that corner well for years. Just recently the new CTS Cadillac was put up against a Mercedes E Class and Volvo S80 in a german car magazine and completely slaughtered them on the track. It was like 2 seconds faster per lap eventhough it didn`t have the best acceleration.

just a corvette

This thing is beautiful!

Lol yeah when edmunds did the Z06 they got a 0-60 in 3.6 seconds... So... more HP and better tires... makes a car slower?

yeah it was all from the start too. They didnt do a burn out... which youd think you would do if youre doing a 1/4 run. shame, give me the car and Ill show you a 11.1 Run haha. *just an excuse to drive it*
