Default Corvette ZR-1 Traps Over 200 MPH During Runway Drag Race



This Corvette ZR-1 still managed to enter the 200-mph club, even from the short distance of a standing mile.

Sorry but that car is not a ZR-1, it is a ZR1. You would think that a corvette forum editor would know the difference.

Standing mile ZR1 record is 221 MPH by BEAST9. Have seen a few at 206+.

Not really impressive. A street driven ZR1 with no wing or chute ran 196.1 at the Colorado Mile (Altitude 5600 ft above sea level) last month. I have doubts that is even a ZR1 in the video.

That is one of the nicest cars on the forum. A true work of art. Amazing build and setup, and probably one of the craziest builds on here.

That video is a mild test hit, and no where near the capability of the setup. The details on that build are mind blowing what he has done.

The Corvette Forum Editor says it is a ZR-1. You could be on to something as I'm sure he knows what he's talking about.

Clearly you can hear it breaking up starting from the launch. Had the article stated its work in progress that would have set context.

What are the build details?

Look at the link above.

I doubt it is breaking up, just motec doing the fancy launch/traction control stuff.
