Bro wtf GM COOKED
Hey it’s you
@@TheStraightPipes Yes, it's him
Sh*t got burnt
Yea the engine definitely getting cooked
They made us a whole BANQUET
As a ford guy I want to congratulate Chevy for going all out. This will properly compete with top of the line Ferrari and mclarens. This is a proper super car
This is almost a hyper car bro like wtf is GM on
@@evanstutzman4672 I know I’m happy for them. Unless it cost 300k like the new mustang gtd then it’s like whatever
Feels like actual history, America would never compete with Europes hypercars until one day Chevy got the balls to try.
@@Ruddline we always have those. Ford has beaten Ferrari time and time again with the gt.. Chevy has had the zo6 and zr1 models post fantastic numbers for their time. This one just takes things up an extra notch. I mean 631 horse back in the 2010s is like a 1000 horse now honestly. This car is modernized and keeping up with the times
@@Ruddline guys are making 1200hp with junkyard 4.8 L
Over 1,000hp without any hybrid system is insane
It's a W16@@FacuGonz3
@@SomebodysNephewur talking about a completely different engine. Most Bugattis built in the recent years are run off of a quad turbo W16. The new Bugatti is going to be powered by a cosworth V16 making over 1000 HP NA and revs to the moon. You’re both correct
@@FacuGonz3 1000hp with boost vs 1000hp naturally aspirated is a MASSIVE difference.
Dodge demon 170?
Yeah, and its 1000hp on street tires and they actually hook up... unlike other 1000hp ice cars 🙄
1,064hp WITH A WARRANTY🫣🫣🫣🫣
WTF IS A KILOMETERRRRRRRRRRR
@@FacuGonz3🦅🦅🦅🦅
@@FacuGonz3RAHHHH🦅🦅🦅🦅
and people are still gonna tune and want more out of it....
@@FacuGonz3 MOVE OUT OF USAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA and find out what the rest of the world is talking abooooooooooooout kilometerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs..
This is the kind of attention to detail and engineering that GM needs to put in ALL of their cars.
So well said 😂
Yes, but are you willing to spend the monies to pay for all that detail and engineering? You can't expect $200k attention in cars that cost $30-40k.
@@rlsedition we're in a world where a fully loaded Camry is over $40k before taxes. It has solid engineering, build quality and is built to a standard. If GM has a problem with any of those 3, THAT would explain why they can't sell actual cars that aren't SUV's, a Trax/Encore and pickup trucks.
You're telling me with all that engineering talent that's there they can't make a competitive Malibu or Impala that competes at that price point, and build quality consistently? If they can't... they need to lock the accountants in a closet somewhere and only allow their input where necessary.
But guess what overpriced
No. It doesnt work like that. Im not gonna spend 140k for a Tahoe. Sorry.
1000hp is actually mental
Well actually you need to make it race against other car to see if it does push it.
with no hybrid system!?!?
@@L.L having turbos now mean the GT3 RS may have some disadvantages here. And the ZR1 still retain the signature Flat Plane Crank V8 vroom, mostly because of turbocharging
Imagine this in a service bay next to a Chevy Spark? 😂
@@thanosianthemadtitanicnope lol
I also guessed 850 when they asked! Was blown away when they said 1,064! Man they had you strapped in!
GM wasn’t kidding in the teaser videos when they said “The unthinkable is coming” 🤯
Now more will understand why the Stingray was so safe feeling. The platform was built for this.
This makes so much sense.
Or is it built for the Zora?
the stingray is 0-60 in 2.9 seconds
@@mikedelape6609 people are going to laugh at your comment. Maybe you'll eventually figure out why.
@@mikedelape6609 Lmao that's the only time when the Stingray is "fast".
What a send off for Tadge as he is set to retire……amazing
Maybe they'll call the Zora Tadge instead. Nah, won't work.
He RULES!!
Crazy to think that a production Corvette is now making more power than a Bugatti Veyron and can be serviced at your local Chevy dealer. That is a tremendous feat of engineering.
i heard dealers can not service C8's, but ok
You must not have seen a Chevrolet dealer in a while then
@@SamT-rf1dxyou making stuff up in your mind again?
@@SamT-rf1dxwell who the hell do you think services them then, genius?
@@SloimerMan said “again” 😂
Knowing that Tadge Juechter worked for GM on the C5-C8 is awesome, cool to see him in this video.
Legend
@@TheStraightPipes As are you gentlemen
He retires on Wednesday! If you did not know....
This will go down in history as one of the wildest American cars ever made. An absolute rocket ship on wheels.
The fact GM was able to put 1064 horse power into a car with JUST an ICE is beyond fucking wild
Zora will have 1M+ horsepower
@@Big.W.whats this zora I keep hearing about ya dang kids keep making stuff up it’s DORA
If GM put this kind of love and attention into all of their cars, their stock price would grow exponentially.
Yeah. My 8 year old GMC Canyon rattles like a mofo, and keeps having the stupidest things go wrong on it... Argh.
So yall can buy something else lol
CT4 , CT5 blackwing , ZL1 ,1LE ,
Yall didnt appreciate them.
@@WindyCity1992 tbh Cadillac was pretty expensive and the interior was meh, they did put a lot into it though but I think something like a better camaro (you can see out of it better styling and interior) would be easier to appreciate
I agree 100%
Except it wouldn't, because the costs would be too high.
Chevy said, we’ll let the Z06 handle the Super cars, we coming after HYPER cars with this one!
And then losing to them
@@pontiacGXPfan Depending on the Hypercar, possibly lol
@@pontiacGXPfanno where near the price of a hyper car tho
The Zora will be for hyper cars
@@majahsyn2185 True lol it’s gonna be crazy!
With over 1000 horsepower and 800+ lb ft, the new Corvette zr-1 accelerates like it hates the past.
Maybe it's trying to go so fast it can travel back in time
@@ConorMcKebab5000 the faster we can get away from yesterday, the better we can enjoy the present.
@@joey69d well said 👍🏻 i agree
As a Chevy guy this shit damn near brought a tear and inspired me at the same time. Immense appreciation for the passion behind this creation at the end of an era for ICE cars.
Dream car material
First time in a long time that a production car has genuinely terrified me.
*Not so costly
Yeah cuz those rear wheels ain’t gonna handle all that 😂
From watching a video?? What?
Tadge is a national treasure! Thank you for gifting us your magnum opus
Ferrari , porsche and Lamborghini are having nightmares tonight!!
Ford releases a full blown GT3 racecar for the streets, Dodge releases another drag monster, and now Chevy releases a 1000+ hp Corvette. The American car market is getting insane top dogs right now.
Some years from now American cars will be the only ice supercars available. Thanks EU regulations.
Glad its not a hybrid, over a 1000hp from pure ICE 💥
And rear wheel drive
I kinda wish they had the option with it the would truly be a monster
As impressive it is, who wouldn’t have loved more torque
Hybrid will be the cake topper, 1200HP+ down low. The chassis is already designed to accommodate it and implementation wouldn't be too difficult based on E-Ray . Cant wait
@@kevinanderson9752 exactly you understand me lol
Last generation nobody wanted to admit corvettes are supercars. Even called them muscle cars. Thank you GM for showing us you are capable of creating Hypercars🔥
Buddy how are you gonna jump to hypercar like that
@@Peel5000 id say the c8 zr1 is a supercar now but nowhere close to a hypercar lmao
@@springycarrot7563tbh the only thing preventing it from entering hypercar territory is that it has the interior of the $60k stingray, which it that price is fine, but for this $200k+ car is more of the sacrifice you make for getting this much performance for less than $500k
@@Peel5000 zora maybe?
@@springycarrot7563 Brother, the C8 Zr1 is a hypercar. C8 z06 is a supercar. C8 is a sports car, bordering supercar. Electronically limited to 217 mph and you are telling me that is not mental
I guessed 850HP but I didn’t expect 1,064HP and 828LB-FT Torque
I was guessing 900HP tbh. Z06 makes 120hp/liter so I was thinking 160-170/liter sounds reasonable lol
5.5l turbo revving to 8000 is actually crazy
The fact that I can tell this isn't even the C8's final form and it's already at hyper car levels is insane. I just get a feeling that they're gonna have this power plant and electrification coming soon.
I am waiting to see the hybrid version.
The fact that the first two videos I see about this is from Top Gear and Straight Pipes is so awesome!
Wow! Didn't expect the ZR1 to produce those kind of numbers. I can't wait to see the Zora. I can imagine the Zora would be an AWD hybrid version of the ZR1 reaching 1200+ hp.
I hope the zora can find a way to tweak the engine, turbos, cooling, and maybe even the electric motor so that it could get closer to 1,300 horsepower. Either way, if the Zora comes out, it’ll be a full blown hyper car!
Ford: Here's the Mustang GTD, a GT3 car for the road...
Chevy: Ok, well.. You gonna hate this one!
where dodge at
Holy... 1064 horse power? Chevy went all out and they're not playing games. Good to hear an American car pushing the limits!
People often say the best car era was the 60s. I would argue we're in the best car era right now with manufacturers producing these amazing vehicles, both on the ICE and EV sides. I don't think there will ever be another era like this when manufacturers are going all out crazy with the end of big engines coming near. Love it!
Arguably this is the era when companies lie about emissions. Like baseball juicing era was the most exciting.
Yea I think now is the best era cuz it’ll be the last one before they shove EV’s down our throats
I agree.
Hennessey Venom Gt Spyder is the worlds fastest convertible at 265.5 mph. Koenigseggs dont classify their vehicles as convertibles, theyre just called removable roofs, like the corvettes. Traditionally convertibles have a moving roof
Glad you guys got the invite. Kudos to the two of you for the great video and Kudos to GM for letting you hang out with a true dream machine.
8K RPM and twin turbo. Just wow. And happy the kept it flat plane.
This is hypercar territory
ZORA will have that handled
I'm sorry. Did I just see 1000hp? What the actual hell?
Right, I thought it was going to be 850hp😂...so will there be a Zora model.
Still can't beat the Dodge Demon Challenger
@@skylerallens Go to the first ever corner of a track, and I bet you won't keep that straight face for long.
@@baoquoc3710 A Tesla Plaid recently had managed to handle the nurburgering just fine and even beat a lot of supercar times. I think the Plaid can handle itself well, and even better than this garbage Corvette. If you want REAL performance, go EV, not some dinosaur gas engine
@@skylerallensthe demon 170 isn’t even better than the 2018 demon😂. Demon 170 keeps blowing engines and it can’t turn while also being limited to 151mph
1064 hp in a stock vette is INSANE!
Nothing stock about ZR1
I love that car makers are finally giving RUclipsrs full press access and then some!
Finally 🙏
Is that old man Clint Eastwood?
The Corvette team was held back for so many decades and did a great job on front mounted... not my taste in design, especially the interior, but the engineering has ALWAYS been impressive as hell, especially price/performance. The physics to go over 200mph is just nuts.
800ft lbs of torque from 3k rpm to 7k rpm is insane. An engineering marvel.
That's a HUGE range to maintain 800+ ft/lbs.
You 2 are my favorite car reviewers, hope to see you drive this on the road soon!
16:56 “most people will find it adequate”. The modesty 😂
C6 is my fav generation... I now own a C7 3LT and I want a C8, the C8 is an amazing piece of machinery. The Corvette team built an amazing work of art!!!
I have to admit, even though price is steep....you are getting a badass car. Respect to chevrolet for building a real king of the street. No sissy electric junk or other useless stuff.
I see gm leaving a backdoor for enthusiasts for that control system. The way Tadge said it's all about the electronics....beep beep boop..1400hp
America is back!
1064hp
800pftq
Increíble!!!
Ironically Corvette outmatched both the Ferrari & Lamborghini, with this beast. Just compare it's horsepower with the Revuelto & the SF90. Insane!!
That ZR1 is sick great video
Awesome for you guys to be there for the reveal! Great video guys. One of the best videos on RUclips! Keep it up fellows. 😊
yuri in a shiesty before gta6
I really liked this platform since the stingray came out. Been so interesting following the C8s long term journey. Base Zr1 with the areo is 🔥
Chevy said fuck it, let's find the limit and push it.
Not just push the limit, absolutely bully the limit
This is America embodied in a vehicle.
Chevy just causally made perhaps the greatest combustion engine of all time…
Umm, nope. The GMA T.50 has that already, with a N/A V-12 and 12,100+ RPM limit. Production car.
@@ba2724what motor is that?
@@ba2724 Yeah for nearly 2.5 mil. Ridiculous
@@Asizzle22ZL1 Cosworth. The engine masterpiece only weighs 392 pounds.
@@meintingles4396 Ridiculously amazing!
My son Jackson and I guess $250k US for the base model and $370k for the ZTK pkg…I’m a Ford guy but, gotta give it up for GM here. Thoroughly impressed.
We can say, Chevrolet is back. Cooking for the community for us.
Unfortunately the middle class won’t be able to afford a corvette anymore let alone the zr1
@@sbs-0055 Your not wrong at all. With all the time and development comes with a big sticker price. Not that the middle class really exists anyways in this socioeconomic climate but it would be nice if maybe one day the average person who saves money in the right spots could afford this after a few years
@@sbs-0055If you can’t afford it, whose fault is it? 🤷🏾♂️
This is the best and most informative c8 zr1 content so far! Job well done
Already reviewing it is crazy
I mean… it’s not a review🔥
Great video guys!! It was cool to have Tadge there to explain the data on this amazing twin turbo 5.5 Flat Plane Crank LT7 Corvette ZR 1 engine!!!! So awesome. I would love to have one!!! Thank you both for the fun video and seeing Yuri going 207mph even though it has gone 215mph multiple times!!!! That rocks!!!!!
Very impressive Brother‼️👍👊💪❤️🇺🇸🇨🇦
those factory turbos look massive, seems like there's plenty of room to turn it up.
@@adriancandelaria531 I'm curious what the internals are like before doing that.
In a car as light as the corvette, that's absolutely terrifying. I love it!
This corvette is not light. It weighs over 3600 dry.
V8..twin turbo.. flat plane crank.. RWD. They let the bald eagles out with this one good god
Knocked it out of the park. Looks great and performance to match. Will be hard to get and majorly over sticker price for a few years. Love it!!
1000 horse in a vette. Damn GM isn't effing around. Thing is a beast. Excited to see the finished product.
The wheels on the convertible zr1 is sooo beautiful!!!
In a world of EV BS this is a V8 breath of fresh air! Well done GM for going all out. What a machine 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
God bless you GM! Awesome to see Tadge at the start! I met Tag in the late 90s when I used to build and race F-body cars.
Wow! Welcome to the 1000+ hp club. God bless America!
Gives me the chills!! 🔥🔥 great video
Man that looks incredible, it’s like the US is represented nice globally lol
800 lb/ft of torque through a 5,000 rpm power band is the best part
GTD vs ZR1 will be a dream match now...
ZR1 probably wins in the quarter mile, but I'm guessing the GTD will cook the ZR1 on a track.
@@razatiger22beat it on the track? We’ll see but somehow I doubt that very much lol
@@razatiger22😂😂😂 Stop smoking weed!!!
@@razatiger22 I'm not sure if will. The GTD is aiming for under 7 minutes at the nurburging ring and I think this zr1 could also go under 7 minutes. It will be very interesting. You could buy 2 zr-1's or 1 GTD. And I think quarter mile will definitely be faster in zr1 and probably similar track times.
Having both would be a dream lol
I think the thing that Chevy should be most proud of the history behind the Corvette... Despite the path they've taken, they've still managed to do every past model justice. This thing is a masterpiece and I'm sure any corvette enthusiast would be more than happy to have one.
This makes me proud to be an American 🇺🇸
Tadge deserves a huge pat on the back having guided the C6, C7, and C8 generations from concept to production. The best Chief Engineer in Corvette history-and that’s saying something. Bravo!
Where are they haters saying the c8 wasn’t a super car?
It’s not it’s a Hypercar lol 😂
@@tl7538 lol moving the goal post huh?
@@jdmjerm6345 lol I mean look at the damn thing
The Zora is coming.
People just photographed a test C8 in camo wrapping on the Nurburgring Norschleife that has the ZR1 wing but the e-Ray cooling vents to cool down the battery.
Imagine a world where a 1000 hp corvette costs LESS than a 800 hp Mustang
Yeah...like HALF the price, isn't it?
(Give or take)
You can keep that junk mustang
333KM/h is insane, 1064Hp n 1123Nm of torque to the rear with no hybrid assist, the aero engineering must be elite to keep it planted in the ZTK package. I'm absolutely blown away.
The 2025 Chevy Corvette ZR1 supercars was very So Amazing!!!! Next,Bring the New 7th Generation of Chevy Camaro SS back again next month!!!! ❤❤❤❤
They wont, they already peaked at front engine design it's better that they just poured all their efforts with the corvette mid engine
@@MonicaHolly143
If AMG can make a car that has the engine in front of the cab faster than a Viper ACR then Chevy can make a Camaro that's capable of matching the C7 in performance.
@@99-Zuluthe amg black series is mid engine, you shoulf do more research first about whats the difference in mid front and rear engine configuration before yapping
@@99-Zulu and its funny how u think chevy are capable of doing what amg did, when they themselves said they cant do anything about it thats why they go for mid engine in the first place
@@MonicaHolly143
Maybe you should have better comprehension skills. The engine is still placed in front of the cab. I didn't say anything against the mid engine layout. Which still means I'm correct regardless of how you want to look at it. GM has some of the best chassis tuning in the world where they can get heavier vehicles to handle brilliantly. Also note I didn't say to make the Camaro as quick as the AMG black series. I said to make it as quick as the C7. Which shouldn't be a difficult task now that they have the C8 out. Only problem is commitment to produce such a vehicle.
So proud of you guys am j have 2 Corvette 1 zr1 2013 C6 and zo6 2019 after your video s but new zr1 3025 best regards from dubai boost Vs beast
more horsepower than the AMG ONE. HOLY SHIT
Yes more then a 1.6 Leiter
@@turbointegra82you forgot about the big ass battery
Never thought I would be around. To have so many variations of cars with a thousand horsepower and have a warranty.
twin turbo factory vette, damn!!!!
Having a passenger in the seat helps stability at 200MPH.
But don't take a corner at 200mph in a RWD car. ❤
Yuri is the passenger princess of this RUclips chanel
Just remember. Yuri was the guy who brought all the cool filming to the channel when we started. He’s earned his passenger Princess seat 👑
@@TheStraightPipes You are a really good friend Jakob, that guy was out of pocket.
@@RuddlineGotta love Jakub!!
This is what we need! So sick of every new car announcement being a hybrid . Not a big corvette fan but this is so cool and a breath of fresh air .
God bless America
Yes sir! 👍
Personal note, i'm not sure this should be title as review but more of a showcase or impressions or another word someone much cleaver than me can come up with
That being said this is by far the best coverage of the zr1 i have seen so far
Came from Yuri’s IG live.
I had a short ride in a standard C8, and I was stunned by the speed of it, I wonder how amazingly mind bogglingly fast this'll be! 🤯
Yall need the MAGA Oakleys and casino dealer green visors to complete the cyberpunk corvette old guy look 😂
The car that Lockheed would build if they were in the car biz... only thing that is missing is stealth mode / cladding to avoid those pesky speed traps.
HELL YEAH...and that Lil SKUNK on the rear end
factory 1064hp Vette was not on my bingo card - thanks for the vid guys
Undeniably cool no matter what kind of cars you are into.
was with my mother other day driving and she said “look it’s a red Ferrari” was a candy apple red C8 with shiny chrome rims . 😂 I thought close enough
Incredible car however your top speed test reminded me of the CT5V Blackwing test. With only 668 hp and 4 doors, it will do 200 mph. The Vette has 400 more hp and all of that extra technology, aerodynamics, intercoolers, etc. and it will only go 15 more mph?
Absolutely incredible work by Chevrolet here. Awesome car and that acceleration was insane!
Wow, what a car. The coolest thing about the video is that you kept your straight pipes attitudes around all those snobs.
Snobs??
