Hold onto your seats—Chevrolet's Corvette ZR1 rockets from 0 to 60 mph in an astonishing 2.3 seconds. Thanks to its mighty 1,064 bhp twin-turbo 5.5-liter V8 engine, excitement was always a given. A top speed of 233 mph hinted at its potential, but now, with the ZTK Performance Package, the ZR1's explosive acceleration is official.
Achieving such thrilling speeds, the ZTK pack includes some serious equipment. It features a massive rear wing, stiffer springs, and grippy Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2R tires, all engineered for track domination. How's its quarter-mile performance? An impressive 9.6 seconds at 150 mph with the ZTK setup.
Prefer it without the ZTK? Expect 0 to 60 mph in 2.5 seconds and a quarter mile in 9.7 seconds, reaching 152 mph, thanks to the reduced aero drag from the wing. Impressively, all tests were conducted on a typical drag strip using 93 octane pump fuel. The ZR1 doesn’t just look the part—it delivers.
Summary: The Corvette ZR1, with its 1,064 bhp engine, sprints from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.3 seconds with the ZTK package. Beyond its iconic top speed, the setup includes a rear wing and sports tires. Even without it, the ZR1 remains a formidable performer.
