2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 | Top Speed Test

I expected more from 755 HP. I think gearing and drag coefficient of the car are to be blamed.

For more then 700+ hp? Nothing impressive

Didn’t another one hit 214 on this channel?

Go Corvette Go !

I don’t think people realize how hard it is to go 200 mph

With Florida being so flat you'd think there wouldn't be any issues with the GPS. I guessed 211 btw.

That rear wing doesn't help....

On this day I had the pleasure of piloting my ZR1 to my first ever 200+ runs.. 4 over 200 actually. In this 2.7 mile run she gave me a 207.3. In the 2.3 mile run just before going to the 2.7 mile this same car ran 208.55. IMRA certified. So i think that is all she was gonna do on this day.. The weather conditions in the afternoon were temp mid 70s and the wind out of the east about 20 Knots. I know the conditions below state winds out of the north and we were running north to south so that should be a helping wind. When you watch the run stop the video when the Garmin hits 81 mph.. look at the wind sock on the left. For the afternoon runs, It was clearly a heavy cross wind out of the east. Speaking to the Organizer, he said for the 200 mph cars that was about a 4-5 mph penalty.. There was another 2019 ZR1 that ran on this day and his best mph was 204, so i think the cross winds hurt us both up top. All that said, it is hard to describe just how much of a gas it is to break 200 mph and join that select club.. My hat is off to Johnny Bohmer and his team. There were 16 cars that participated on this day in Feb. Everything was done in perfect order and very professional. I would go again at the drop of a hat.. Thanks JB for having the vision to organize this event, it is hugely popular with many folks out there.

Did it shift into top gear at 207 mph? Wow! Love this car.

not 207 its 208 max

When is a Porsche 911 (992) Turbo S going to be tested?

2.7 miles 🔥💪👍

Wow!

Draggy results would be great to add!

Porsche 911 gt2rs clocked 219.7mph over the same distance with a fuck off rear wing. (991 series stock) 😅

Hellcat can do 203 MPH, the narrow body

Do a non z07 c7 z06

Been waiting for this. 208 mph from the small block is pretty good.

Nice run!. With those numbers 225 is definitely obtainable with a rear end change.

240? Come on you were almost there!

That was a scary ride.
Too rich for my blood.
I would have killed myself in that car.

Seems people really can't comprehend how fast 200 mph really is. Cruising speed of the Blackhawk helicopter 174mph.

Now that a Vette with it's engine in the right place.

Fantastic run.

That's impressive! I wonder how a manual would compare. It might have slightly less driveline loss.

Watched another on this channel go over that

I’ve read the c7 zr1 can hit 217

Dang i would've love to see this! I work right there at the Fire Station. I wish you guys came over more often.

Will you give me a ride

1988 Callaway C4 Sledgehammer did 254.7 mph.

Yes, that was 1988. Car drove in the rain with the AC to the testing ground and back home after the test.

I just realized that this is the low wing ZR1 with less downforce than the high wing ZR1

0~20 MPH in 2.9 seconds lol 🤣 , so wrong infos here

Started running out of steam at 170mph. Took a deep breath, jumped up to 180. Can i do more? Yeah i need time though, be patient.

I was never able to break 200mph. More difficult then people realize, unless they've actually tried with their own vehicle. Not video games, Not fantasy, Not watching others.

And a corvette will meet the speed of the 720

Just found this channel. New subscriber! Question - I see the runway total length is 2.7 miles. How long is the actual acceleration runway? 2 miles?

I'd take that over any new C8

C7 hit nice

Once past 100 it pulls strong to about 170, I guess that what 755 hp at the crank can do for you

Jeez, it was a quarter mile away and I can still hear that supercharger

How did he manage to do it drive the car in a straight line holding the steering wheel and not having to shift gears in an automatic transmission? Yawn!

I had a 2008 C6 Z51 and own a 2019 C7 Z51, both beautiful convertibles to own. While I really enjoy the runs you made, could you test a few "regular" performance and sports cars for us plebes? I wont run any vehicle WOT on public roads and have no access to a closed circuit so I have no accurate measure of my cars top speed.
The 1/4 mile just doesn't do anything for me so I avoid those channels. I am a sports car guy so Id rather watch a road course TBH.
Cheers!

I think the fastest they've gone in the C8 ZR1,is 217. I'm pretty sure.

These shouldve only came in hardtop 7 speeds

Faster than a ferrari
