Fastest Production Chevrolet Ever!
By David
aka Highspeedhijinks
GM has just done the final shakedown on the new 2009 Corvette ZR1—and the numbers are insane. Let’s start with the dyno: the new LS9 is a 6.2 litre supercharged V8 that’s pushing out 638 hp. Do the math—that’s roughly 103hp per litre. "So what?" you say. "How fast can it go?" you ask. GM’s Corvette engineering team took the new ZR1 all the way Papenburg, Germany to find out. There they clocked a top speed of 205mph. That’s right, there’s now a bone-stock Chevrolet that can do over 200mph. I hardly believe it myself, but GM decided to have an in-car camera do the smack talking for them. Check out the video and see for yourselves what 205mph really looks like—"blurry" is the best description I can come up with!

it’s fast…..REALLY FAST. i would be calm at that speed too because my bro hits 210-230 kmph with his old 1991 bwm 318i. no electrolnic limitor. so i would be so calm at that speed. NO PROBLEM!!!

Be fun to see the ol’ Ford vs Chevy rivalry go down when this thing gets pitted against a Ford GT. Looks like both cars are pretty close for comparison.

Look at the video and see how calm the driver is at over 200!

I’m going out now to buy my lottery tickets…
.
Seriously, this car, and the CTS V, are the only cars
worth a damn from GM at the moment…
.
There are some SUV’s, but those are the only two cars
that I’d want to buy.
.
They can keep all the other FWD crap…
