In a resumption of a dormant series, here’s the return of the ‘Something For The Weekend’ feature – the first for 2012. This car is the ‘ultimate Corvette’ – the ZR1.
In time honoured tradition, the ZR1 is a reasonably light supercar with a big block (supercharged) V8 engine producing 638 horsepower! Top speed listed at 205 miles per hour and a 0-60 sprint is reached in a staggering 3.4 seconds. Naturally it has huge tyres for grip and brakes to provide the stopping power.
The ZR1 has joined other Chevy cars and become a bit of a racing star in it’s own right – this will no doubt reassure owners of the performance ability of the car. Thankfully the interior is also an improvement over many previous iterations.
Rear wheel drive and huge amounts of power should equal huge fun and the ZR1 will not disappoint. This is why it is this month’s highlight car!
