That car is far from stock, plus it's running without a rear bumper cover....that's 2 seconds right there.

I'm a Corvette guy at heart, and I never thought I'd see a sub-10s quarter stock Corvette. Unbelievable.

Nah lol! Just a bolt on turbo kit, I hate the no rear cover thing though. Slows the car down and ruins the surprise

Sort of makes ya wonder where this horsepower race is leading? 1500, 2000, 3000hp? And why? Bragging rights perhaps...

I own a C7 Stingray Z51, granted not over the top at only 460hp but it clicks all the boxes for me. I recently checked out a C8 at my dealer. It'll probably sound weird to some, but prefer the exterior design and interior space of my C7.

The C7 looks better than the C8 but I really like the C8.

150mph trap speed, that's ludicrous. Love every bit of it.

In the right hands that car will never get the rated mpg.

I think the last thing anyone cares about is MPG, but yeah. I can't get what I'm rated for in my GT, so I doubt a sports car like that will either when driven not like a grandma car.

I love this ZR1. I'm not a sports car guy at all and I'm lusting after one of these in convertible form.
