I have the poster of the same picture in the OP hanging in my office. Bought it before I was a C7 owner.
From this tidbit....
I'm going to need to hear more about this. Did someone drive it off the top of a parking garage?
From this tidbit....
In fact, the fastest Corvette in history was built way back in 1968. The vehicle was recorded doing 0-60 mph in 2.8 seconds. No Corvette before or since has matched the speed and pickup power of the 1968 LT-2 Corvette.

I have not heard about that 0-60 in 2.8 seconds either.

In for details and a source on the mystery 1968 Corvette that is faster than the C7 ZR1. I am betting this is not correct, and I am pretty sure it isn't the first time that one of these curated posts had misinformation.

I wouldn't call that the fastest Corvette but maybe the quickest. I think the fastest should be the 1988 Callaway Sledgehammer. Has another Corvette gone 254.76 MPH.

Faster yes, but they’re not factory.

Who has the database of the fastest Corvettes ever modified in history? It doesn't exist definitely. I would be willing to bet there are a number of people on this forum that own modified Corvettes quicker than the one in the OP. Take a look at this link which is one source that cites several that are sub 2 seconds.

No matter how you slice it, the OP is misleading at best if not completely incorrect.
