Corvette ZR1 By The Numbers


Chevrolet announces performance results and pricing for the new ultimate-performance Corvette
DETROIT – The official Corvette ZR1 numbers are in and they're good. Very good:

* $103,300 MSRP (including $850 destination charge)
* EPA-estimated fuel economy of 14 city and 20 highway
* 0-60 mph in 3.4 seconds
* 0-100 mph in 7.0 seconds
* Quarter-mile elapsed time of 11.3 seconds at 131 mph

The Corvette ZR1 also has a top speed of 205 mph (330 km/h), making it the fastest Corvette ever produced and ranking it among the global super cars of commensurate performance. None of those other super cars, however, equals the ZR1's performance-per-dollar ratio.

"The ZR1 is an incredible machine by any measure," said Ed Peper, North American Vice President, Chevrolet. "There's simply no other vehicle in the world that does a better job of balancing performance, price and fuel economy."

Performance perspective
The Corvette ZR1's 0-60 performance is 0.3-second quicker than the already-quick Corvette Z06 and the 0-100-mph performance is nearly a full second quicker - 7 seconds vs. the Z06's 7.9 seconds. It is performance that is equal to or better than many super cars costing substantially more.

"A favorable power-to-weight ratio gives the ZR1 an advantage over the competition and performance that has to be experienced to fully appreciate," said Tom Wallace, Corvette chief engineer. "Of course, on a racetrack, drivers of competitors' cars may appreciate the ZR1 in a whole different manner."

And the racetrack isn't the only place where the ZR1 trumps its super-car competitors – it beats them at the gas pump, too. According to fueleconomy.gov, the ZR1's EPA-rated 14 city and 20 highway mileage ratings beat 2008 competitors such as the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano (11 city / 15 highway); the Lamborghini Murcielago (8 city / 13 highway) and the Aston Martin V8 Vantage (12 city / 19 highway). They're competitive with the Dodge Viper (13 city / 22 highway) and the Porsche 911 GT3 (15 city / 22 highway).

Under the carbon-fiber hood
A new LS9 6.2L supercharged small-block engine powers the ZR1's performance capability. Heavy-duty and lightweight reciprocating components support high-rpm performance, while a new, sixth-generation supercharger (and complementing charge-cooling system) helps the LS9 make big power and torque across the rpm range. The engine is hand-assembled at GM's Performance Build Center, in Wixom, Mich.
In addition to the LS9 engine, the ZR1 is a technology powerhouse, designed with lightweight and unique components that reinforce its performance with a confidant feel on either a highway or road course.

Options
The standard ZR1 comes with accoutrements based on the Z06, including lightweight seats and lightweight content. The available uplevel interior package includes power-adjustable, heated and leather-trimmed sport seats (embroidered with the ZR1 logo); side air bags; Bose premium audio system; navigation system; Bluetooth connectivity; power telescoping steering column; custom leather-wrapped interior available in four colors and more. Chrome wheels are the only other available option on the ZR1. Detailed pricing noted below.

* $103,300 Base MSRP including destination
* $1,700 Gas guzzler tax
* $10,000 Option package
* $2,000 Chrome wheels

i'll take two...

[Spaz]

BOOM!!!

gas guzzler fee... that car is emmisions exempt FOR EVER!!!

[third_shift|studios]

oh hell, i bet it still makes 25 mpgs, just the new 30 mpg standards ass-rape everyone

[FasstChevys]

For the 30K difference, I'll take that ZO6 all day

[rapter34]

just wait till a tuner gets a hold of one

[Spaz]

no way... teh brakes on that car alone make up for that difference...

[FasstChevys]

no way... teh brakes on that car alone make up for that difference...

And the see-through hood too, I forgot about that part.

[rapter34]

hell the extra 30K is worth it just for the sake of hearing all the otehr gear heads at a car meet. :O sweet Jesus its a ZR-1."

[Spaz]

And the see-through hood too, I forgot about that part.

and the super charger...

$490- R8C-Musuem Delivery Option- additional cost above normal destination

Lol @ arrogance.

[FasstChevys]

and the super charger...

yea, but I could ProCharge a ZO6 for lot less than 30K and destroy a ZR1....ya know?

[rapter34]

yea, but I could ProCharge a ZO6 for lot less than 30K and destroy a ZR1....ya know?

These ZR-1's are going to become garage queens though with the limited number they are going to become collector items. I mean If you really want just to make a fast car buy a 98-02 F body for 15K then put 85K into it. I wonder how fast that would be

[Spaz]

yea, but I could ProCharge a ZO6 for lot less than 30K and destroy a ZR1....ya know?

the z06 run to high of compression to run a good amount of boost... also i bet the ZR1's are very detuned... a simple pully swap and dyno tune i bet they will run mid to ow 10's easy...

[Tobynine9]

just wait till a tuner gets a hold of one

I read an article on the car where they had a brief interview with one of the powertrain engineers. Apparently, substantial power gains from tuning are easy as, "we've done it in development."

[shady milkman]

oh no doubt ..i also knew that the zr1 was going to go with the gas guzzler tax..only way the vette could have survived..also means no more skip shift then also.
