Chevrolet | 2009 Chevy Corvette ZR1 Sports Car



Just so you guys are up to speed. If my memory serves me right in 1988 the corvette ZR1 was introduced but not widely known. It quickly was forgotten some 4 or 5 years later and now has come back kickin' some serious fanny.



One of the most expensive options for the Corvette was the ZR1 package ranging in price from $27,000 to $31,000 depending on year for the package only. The most important part of the package is the LT5 engine, pumping out 375bhp in 1990 to 405 at the end of the run in 1995

I have seen 2 or 3 Camaro ZR-28's... White with black racing stripes... I am guessing they are the Z-28 package with upgraded ZR-1 Motor??? Anyone heard of this car??? Like I said, I have only seen like 3 in the past 10 years, very rare, however not home made...

Also, would the Z06 be faster than the ZR1??? Just wondering too...

Negative the ZR1 dominates the Z06. The 2010 Camaro has the SS package that is The high-performance Chevrolet Camaro SS equipped with a powerful 6. 2L V-8, with a choice of a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission.



Standard, manual transmission-equipped models receive the LS3 engine, estimated at 422 horsepower (315 kW) and 408 lb. -ft. of torque (553 Nm). The LS3 debuted on the 2008 Chevrolet Corvette and uses high-flow cylinder heads based on the Chevrolet Corvette Z06's LS7 engine to enable great low-end torque and high-rpm power. It is paired with a TR6060 six-speed transmission.
