Not even close. They're cool cars, but these are fairly extensively modified and would basically be in the middle of the mid-tier cars. Plenty of 1,200-1,500whp C6s that were built before the 09 ZR1 even dropped.
I was a pro driver for Chrysler performance 50 years ago. I did 200.04mph in 6:98 in a Plymouth. But it wasn't street drivable and was a test car. My honorable discharge papers got me the best job. Wish i could shift one of these cars but at 74 i think i would only shift like normal. Mostly Winston cup and AAR. These are awesome cars.
I recently inherited my late brothers 2012 zr1. Supersonic blue with ebony interior. A few minor mods making almost 800 horsepower. These cars are incredible.
I love both of them. They’re both two of my favorite cars ever made but I definitely agree that the C6 is the better of the two simply because it looks the best. I’d take a C6 ZR1 before id take a C7 ZR1 but I’d be happy with either one!
MelvNez M lol headers? Think you mean heads buddy. Ill use the black one as an example. It has aftermarker heads(which is definitely not a simple mod) aftermarket cam(not a simple mod) ported blower/snout(not a simple mod). And then of course it has the bolt ons which is somewhat simple mods. But these cars would arent just equiped with “simple” mods.
@Tstrawhair Boi They stopped making the LS3 and the LS9 in 13 and moved to the LT1 and later on the Lt4 series of motors. The LS3 had nothing to do with it.
@@MM-su4gu So what happens when you boost a Vette? Not only that but styling is a prerequisite for a super car. Let's be real. The Stang's body Does NOT lend itself to the category of Exotic.
@@MM-su4gu Come on Mel. Everybody knows Vettes incinerate Stangs on the street. Hell, I used to outrun Stangs in my old Firebird Trans Am. I don't think we even have to address aftermarket tuned Vettes. Those things are embarrassing the likes of Lamborghini and Porsche...(even tuned ones)
@@MM-su4gu stock for stock a coyote will not hang with a zr1 lol and I've seen zr1s and zo6s murder coyotes so what's ur point u biased ford douche????
Paul Denino that’s good enough! I got my 2012 5.0 love to death and it’s a blessing having back seats but if I could afford a Z06, definitely would’ve bought one.
Holy tamales. I have an 09 base coupe automatic 4LT 6.2 that i bought used in 2013. I drove it for 2 weeks and ordered a procharger for it. Mine is not turned up, only 4 psi boost running mid 11's at 118 mph. After seeing this video I'm ordering a smaller pulley looking for 6 psi boost. These ZR1's convinced me that mine has room to go faster. I have $45,000 in mine which is 1/2 of one of these. I don't expect these kind of numbers but my god Corvette's are the American Dream in spades. Never wanted to be #1 just wanted my piece of the pie. With the C8 on the horizon only you imagination can hold you back. A great time to be alive.
The C6 ZR1 is my next car… I have the Grand sport right now and LOVE it. But the zr1 is my goal. Then I plan on building it and make it a 9 sec. RELIABLE street car
Man... lethal1 is a sick car!! Get em Danny! Proof why you take your cars to Danny and his shop at lethal Perforance of Texas 🏁🇨🇱🏁🇨🇱 San Antonio pride!!!
Oh my goodness - manual transmission, dang! They sound nasty!!! They all look and run awesome! I think there are 34 Tesla or Prius drivers who thumbed down this! I think even Ford and Mopar guys would appreciate these beasts!!
That blue ZR1 had a litter stall a couple of seconds off the line. That black ZR1 is a beast. Off the line must feel like a 12ga recoil against your whole body
I used to see this group of cars every Friday and Saturday night off the Dallas north tollway and though they are bad it was pretty hard to get a race from them. I lived about 10 minutes from The Texas metroplex and would go out on funday sunday to run my mustang along with the group I ran with and most times they wouldn't race other cars except for the guys they came with. The only one I ever seen race on the streets or at the track that had the stones to run anyone in our group was the silver one and he got his ride right.
Dexter Sullen 'TRUTH' lol no. Heads, Cam, Fully ported blower, Ported Snout, smaller pullies, upgraded fuel system, and of course the bolt one will get you a low 9 sec zr1.
Dexter Sullen 'TRUTH' lol if you think taking the heads off a car is a “bolt on” or changing a cam is a “bolt on” think youre an idiot. You dont go to a meet and say” my car is just bolt ons” and it be heads/cam. You say “ my car is heads/cam, fbo. That bolt on defintion is just a thing the younger generation says.
@@vette2763 the younger generation say these things cause info about cars has gotten alot easier (yt tutorials ) you change a ls cam in about 30 mins while a BMW or v12 could take hours, also I admit if you getting heads resurface or vavles bored out that's a little harder(taken to machiner) but just different gen heads to bolt on that's easy (especially push rod setups) all that can be done with out taking the engine and tranny out, *times change grandpa*
The C6 ZR1 was and still is my favorite Corvette ever made. I don't care what anybody says.
Same here ..
+2
Agreed
C4 ZR-1 for me.
C6 Z06 for me. But i would just as happily take a ZR1.
Some 10yrs later and the blue devils are still some of the most brutal cars on the streets.
blue devil z?
Oh Yeah that was the ZR1’s nickname. Makes more sense when the car is blue.
Hehehe blue devils are nasty😂😂😂🤘
Not even close. They're cool cars, but these are fairly extensively modified and would basically be in the middle of the mid-tier cars. Plenty of 1,200-1,500whp C6s that were built before the 09 ZR1 even dropped.

Im a true ford racing fan and foxbody owner and all i can say is these cars sound bad ass and are hauling ass. Very nice
Then open your eyes. Corvette stock on slicks still faster than ford and beat a demon
I'm a Mopar guy and still love Corvettes. You just can't not like them
@@thomassenemounnarath3278 Bro what. He’s literally saying the corvettes are nice cars. Who are you even arguing with?
6:31 I saw daylight under that front wheel👍
GHOSTJERKER oh fuck yea! Sounds like he hooked so hard he bogged it for a second that would of been the quickest I think
still think the c6 zr1 is at the top for corvettes
That black one really bites at the line. Great take offs.
The C6 ZR1 is my dream car! Cyber Gray Metallic with Competition Gray wheels. I'd daily it. This video screams America.
Zr1 was ahead of its time
9second 150+ mph 1/4 mile passes in a stick-shift car... ‘Murica! 🦅
The C6 ZR-1 is legendary
From a mopar fan i got to say this c6 vettes are my favorites so far I love them beautiful monsters
Coyote guy here loving this video ..hell yeah sick cars!!
C6 z06 n zr1 was the sexiest vette ever made.
No the supercharged c6 z06 on nitro
Making that shifting sound like a sequential! Crazy launches.
The exhaust note on all the vettes in this video were like music !!!
What kind of low life thumb downed this video?
Probably a Honda lover!
High Tech Corvette Roll racing people.
The actual drag strip. Didn't like the beating it was taking.
A liberal that drives a Prius.
Ford person, likes Fox bodies with LS motors.
The one that says PULL UP was the fastest out off all just Nasty
gregory edwards that ones so mean😤
gregory edwards its all kongperformance parts I believe
What does pull up for a plate mean? Pull ups required to ride in this car?
Bounder With Chris "pull up" means pull up and get gapped.
garcias rebuilds and auto detailing no it’s not. That’s @whitem3 but btw lethal 1 is faster... always has been
I recently inherited my late brothers 2012 zr1. Supersonic blue with ebony interior. A few minor mods making almost 800 horsepower. These cars are incredible.
The C7 ZR1 might be a better car but the C6 ZR1 is still my favorite

I love seeing Corvettes at the drag strip. Some say it’s a poor use of a “sports car” but I disagree. So capable!
Whoever has a bad opinion about vettes.. is a idiot.
Nothing runs like a Chevrolet. Corvettes are king
Manual transmission, 67mph first gear, and still runs low 9s with simple mods. Amazing
StrykerV8 define “simple mods” these zr1s are prettyy heavily modified. Only thing stock is the blower, and even that is modified(ported)
Eric Villarreal hows heads/cam heavily modded? They make around 800-900hp
MelvNez M lol headers? Think you mean heads buddy. Ill use the black one as an example. It has aftermarker heads(which is definitely not a simple mod) aftermarket cam(not a simple mod) ported blower/snout(not a simple mod).

Don’t forget it’s a LS9 also. Too bad they stop the production on these monster motors.

3 words- Awesome- 1 for each ZR1!!
This is why people love the c6 zr1 way way more than the c7 zr1
Sorry, still like the c7 Z better
C6 zr1 is the best commercial vetted ever made my favorite is the supercharged z06 with nitro on roll races
Had a big smile the whole video, my favorite car ever
Damn those zr's leave hard. Sound bad ass too.
C6 Zr1 best corvette EVER made 💯 C6 Z a close second💪🏼. That blue pass at 7:20 🔥
You miss a gear and still make a 9.6 sheesh
Bad ass and im a ford guy
Step into a vette and youll never go back

Man..sub 10 second times in the 9's above 150mph and yet street registered. Pretty nutty stuff.
Had a '69 350/350 4-spd roadster back in '72. I've wanted another one ever since I sold it in '74.

I feel like even if aliens invaded with advanced technology, you'd be gone in any of those 3 ZR1s.
Thats what their for when aliens come we have worthy opponents
Love these Corvettes, would love to know what modifications could produce that speed and power
I bet most of these are heads, cam , ported blower, upper n lower pulley, and running ethanol.
I had a crystal red metallic 2011 sold it two years ago and it was a beast.
The Black ZR1 has a pretty mean 60ft
This video just reminded me of why I will never drive a fcking Tesla...No matter what.
I had one and that SOB was wicked.

Great video 👍🏻
Imagine if these had quick shifting autos, but these drivers are masters of the manual.
Best looking vette to date
They all ran about the same but I just liked how the blue ones power came on. Black one had best launch.
