Here's what's possible when you apply everything you've learned in racing and engineering to a single automobile - the Corvette ZR1 (very limited availability). With its 638-hp supercharged LS9 engine and a test-track top speed of 205 mph, it is the fastest GM production car of all time.

"The Corvette ZR1 is a monster. And the Corvette ZR1 is a lamb. How's that? Putter around town, keeping its supercharged LS9 6.2-liter V-8 below 3000 rpm, and it's as easy to drive as any sports car. But dip hard into the throttle and the ZR1's exhaust butterflies open while the car unleashes its full 638 bhp and 604 lb.-ft. of torque to the rear tires - along with a glorious, ripping exhaust note that's music to any enthusiast's ear."

Racing Improves the Breed
The Corvette Team took that truism to the next level. They didn't just race. They won, over and over again, against such formidable competitors as Ferrari and Aston Martin, at gruelling events like the 24 Hours of Le Mans. They made Corvette the dominant racing sports car of its time. Then they took everything they learned and set about building something special. They specified the best of everything - the most powerful small-block V8 in history, high-tech Brembo® carbon ceramic brakes, custom-developed Michelin® Pilot Sport 2® tires, the works. The result is the ultimate road-going Corvette of all time: ZR1.

Corvette ZR1
To fully appreciate Corvette ZR1, you have to drive one. Here are a few facts to whet your appetite. ZR1's exclusive 6.2L LS9 V8 is equipped with an intercooled four-lobe Eaton® Twin Vortices Series™ supercharger. Outputs are 638 SAE-certified horsepower with 604 lb.-ft. of torque, the most of any Corvette ever. For strength and reduced weight, the roof, roof bow, rocker extensions and front splitter are made of carbon fibre. The Brembo carbon ceramic brake rotors are almost 50 percent lighter than equivalent cast-iron units. For 2010 there's also a new five-mode performance traction management system that integrates the Magnetic Selective Ride Control® suspension, traction control and Active Handling systems to optimize acceleration.
