Corvette zr1 is designed to take on the world. With a 638 hp supercharged v8, lightweight aluminum skeleton, and carbon fiber galore, the zr1 is the most sophisticated 'vette ever built
Corvette zr1 is the mighty bugatti veyron. Stock form, the zr1 does not stand a chance. However, i believe that with the right modifications a corvette zr1 could beat the veyron in top speed battle.
2-liter v8 ls9 engine that's good for 647 hp and 819 nm torque. The corvette zr1 has a 0 to 100 km/h acceleration time of 3. 6 seconds and a top speed of 330 km/h. Corvette zr1 for prince albert von thurn und taxis.
