Default ZR1 Hits 150 MPH Like it Was Nothing!

We strap down a brand new 2019 ZR1 for some baseline numbers even with the car hot from driving in she still managed to throw down a modest 630 RWHP!

ZR1 also hits zero MPH like it was nothing. Just ask Mark how it's so easily done.

This is my car. I have the Cup 2s on a second set of wheels and use the continentals on the street. The ride and road noise is noticeably better on the continentals and saves the Michelin’s for HPDE

Good idea. looks like the Contis run about $500/set less than the PS2s at tire rack.

I ran in to a mechanical engineering student at the track 2 months ago, who had a great solution. He had a hitch receiver put in behind his license plate. he then puts one of those luggage racks on, and 4 wheels fit perfectly in it. drives up to the track with his hoosiers on the back, bums a jack from someone and has a good time. i really liked his set up as i am trying everything i can do to stay away from trailing a car to the track.

Looks like the engine was not completely wormed up on your dyno run
