Corvette ZR1

[LAPTOP GAMER]

ZO6, ZR1, same thing so all they do is swap badges every few years, who cares as long as it is as fast as hell, right?

Where'd you get that from? The previous ZR-1 had what is probably the most reliable engine GM has ever made. It also set numerous endurance records, averaging about 175mph for 24 hours. It also had more torque at every point in the rpm range than the pushrod 'vette motor for the same year.

I think it's cool the latest world beating, azz kicking 'vette is gonna be called ZR-1. I can't wait to see what's next from Corvette.

I used to work at a Chevy dealer in the late 80's early 90's and drove prolly between 50-100 ZR1's and loved every one of them. They were fast but lacked some of the TQ we all love, they won't have that problem this time. GM using the name is fitting they were the baddest thing on the road then and they will be the baddest thing on the road now.

This is it. Thanks to an anonymous tipster we have what appear to be the very first and clearest shots yet procured of the 2009 LS9 6.2-liter V8 engine powering the 2009 Corvette ZR1 -- something we weren't expecting to see until the Detroit Auto Show in January. But, since information yearns to be free -- and whoa, nelly, do these shots show off some serious information on what will be the most serious piece of weaponry in the General's quiver come next year -- here they are and here's what we know. Essentially what you're looking at is what appears to be a standard twin-screw-type supercharger mounted below a highly efficient air-to-water intercooler system. Now, we can't speculate if it's tied into the engine system or if it has an independent radiator system -- but we feel pretty confident all of this is a one-off, which means the General's running the show on every single horsepower above and beyond the stock horse output from the 6.2-liter V8 it all sits atop. Gearheads, your engine pr0n awaits in the photogallery below.

Awesome!!!!!! That engine looks amazing! I cannot wait to see the final product. GM needs to do a Camaro show car with this engine!

[Gm786]

I gotta say that GM did a very neat job integrating the supercharger into the new Chevy Corvette ZR1's engine. The engine looks nice. You can imagine how much power that engine's going to have. Tuners are going to have a good time with the new ZR1.

After 54 years of production this looks like a great design and cool name
Lives up to the proud Corvette Tradition

[wpageabc]

oh yes the venerable small block v8 now going to 6.2 liter and 505 HP...

Nothing but wondrous.

After 55 Years that puppy is a bad dog!

By any name its King of the road!

And compared to the competition...
McClaren's @ $1+M
And the overpriced + over rated Euro sports...
Dr Porche's dreams
Lambo and other Italian crap...

Give me that ole LS- any day God Bless the USA!!!

Yes I hope this bodes well for a high top speed 220+ should be reasonable if not 230.
Maybe the CTS V will have more too

It's going to be a good week, I can tell

If they announced the CTS-V time even before making it official, I can't imagine we'll have to wait long before they tell everyone that they've broken 7:30... Let's see, is Germany 6 or 7 hours ahead of us - maybe they've already done it.

Id love to drop that motor in my Fiero!!!
