On this day I had the pleasure of piloting my ZR1 to my first ever 200+ runs.. 4 over 200 actually. In this 2.7 mile run she gave me a 207.3. In the 2.3 mile run just before going to the 2.7 mile this same car ran 208.55. IMRA certified. So i think that is all she was gonna do on this day.. The weather conditions in the afternoon were temp mid 70s and the wind out of the east about 20 Knots. I know the conditions below state winds out of the north and we were running north to south so that should be a helping wind. When you watch the run stop the video when the Garmin hits 81 mph.. look at the wind sock on the left. For the afternoon runs, It was clearly a heavy cross wind out of the east. Speaking to the Organizer, he said for the 200 mph cars that was about a 4-5 mph penalty.. There was another 2019 ZR1 that ran on this day and his best mph was 204, so i think the cross winds hurt us both up top. All that said, it is hard to describe just how much of a gas it is to break 200 mph and join that select club.. My hat is off to Johnny Bohmer and his team. There were 16 cars that participated on this day in Feb. Everything was done in perfect order and very professional. I would go again at the drop of a hat.. Thanks JB for having the vision to organize this event, it is hugely popular with many folks out there.
great to have the vehicle owner post! stellar results and i'm sure you already know in optimal conditions she'd pull well higher!
Love the car! My absolute dream car. This and the C6 ZR1.
Congratulations, glad you got to do this.
brilliant run ! I thought this car can reach over 220 mph ! is it true ?
@@mr-sam-jax thank you. This car with 755 hp is pretty much limited to about 214 with all the aero devices it has on it and you will need favorable wind for that. The front splitter and rear wing make punching a hole in the air difficult. The car has the gear ratio to do it, just not the HP to hit 220 mph. I think it would take another 250 HP to pull the 7th gear to red line. BTW it shifted from sixth to seventh right at 200mph, 6500 rpm and only moved the needle 8 more mph. The RPM in 7th never got close to the next shift point. So the only way it's gonna pull 7th gear to red line is more HP.
Seems people really can't comprehend how fast 200 mph really is. Cruising speed of the Blackhawk helicopter 174mph.
1988 Callaway C4 Sledgehammer did 254.7 mph.
Yes, that was 1988. Car drove in the rain with the AC to the testing ground and back home after the test.
They made one and it was $400,000. In todays money thats over one million. Pull your 🤔 outta your ( * )
Why TF would you compare that to this production vehicle. fn bozo
A 1 of 1 test vehicle that no one could buy being compared to a production car.... OK....
Now that a Vette with it's engine in the right place.
Wow, is that your best? Trump supporter comment you just take progress.! Buddy, they were trying to put the engine in the middle of the car almost 50 years ago!
1:04 *is that a SPACE SHUTTLE on the left???*
Did it shift into top gear at 207 mph? Wow! Love this car.
Nope, never hit 8th gear. She was in track mode, shifted perfectly at redline for ever shift. Shifted from 6th to 7th right at 200 mph.
@@brucemccartney5385 Damn! I should have bought one when they first came out. Can’t afford it now.
@@troypatillo1688 you are quite right Troy, it was even tuff to purchase 3 years ago..
Fantastic run.
Started running out of steam at 170mph. Took a deep breath, jumped up to 180. Can i do more? Yeah i need time though, be patient.
Dang i would've love to see this! I work right there at the Fire Station. I wish you guys came over more often.
Awesome, next time we are there we will holler at Gator and Matt for you all to come by.
@@JohnnyBohmerProvingGroundsSLF that would be awesome! Thank you
Been waiting for this. 208 mph from the small block is pretty good.
Just found this channel. New subscriber! Question - I see the runway total length is 2.7 miles. How long is the actual acceleration runway? 2 miles?
3 miles plus some runoff, the longest distance we use is 2.7 miles with 4000' to stop
@@JohnnyBohmerProvingGroundsSLF That's amazing. Longest I've driven on is Loring, at 1.5 miles to accelerate
Draggy results would be great to add!
Wow!
That's impressive! I wonder how a manual would compare. It might have slightly less driveline loss.
Mark, there was a manual 2019 ZR1 on this day.. He ran 204 in the 2.7 mile. .. Kind of reinforces that the cross wind was a big speed killer..
@@brucemccartney5385 Thanks for the info. Love your car btw!
2.7 miles 🔥💪👍
Wow! INSANE!
I was never able to break 200mph. More difficult then people realize, unless they've actually tried with their own vehicle. Not video games, Not fantasy, Not watching others.
I just realized that this is the low wing ZR1 with less downforce than the high wing ZR1
Looks like I’ve found my chillax channel on RUclips
Porsche 911 gt2rs clocked 219.7mph over the same distance with a fuck off rear wing. (991 series stock) 😅
And? Don't those start at like 300k always haters talking bout way more expensive cars in these Vette videos.
It's not how fast you go but how you go fast !!!😊😊Porsche
Interestingly, both John Lingenfelter and his test driver drove Lingenfelter's 2001 yellow Corvette C5 modified with a twin turbo setup to a top speed of 225 MPH. That car had "only" 572 horsepower at the wheel (about 640 engine horsepower). The C5 has a better coefficient of drag (cD) than the ZR1 and doesn't have the downforce add-ons (which hurt top speed) of the ZR1 and Porsche GT2, thus helping it to reach the higher top speed. That the GT2 was able to reach 219.7 with the significant drag of the big rear wing is remarkable.
Jeez, it was a quarter mile away and I can still hear that supercharger
Watched another on this channel go over that
Go Corvette Go !
:)
The link to the ZR1 that hit 214 mph a few years ago: ruclips.net/video/5MWwmk0kNqw/видео.html
214 mph is not bad at all, but I would've expected a little more compared to the brick shaped Demon which was just 3 mph slower than this. Yes it has almost 100 hp more than the ZR1, but way worse aerodynamics.
The Demon video: ruclips.net/video/InCC5r-ouTs/видео.html
WAY worse aerodynamics
A brick isn't very aerodynamic, but neither is a slightly chiseled shape that has spoilers and splitters and other drag inducing components.
@@aaronvector4750
Yeah the ZR1's downforce aero affects it greatly. The base model C8 Stingray has a higher top speed than the Z51. At least that is what Chevy has claimed. But even that doesn't produce as much downforce as this ZR1.
that car was an 8 speed as well, coupe with no track pack, just like the one in the video here
I still want to see a C6 ZR1 do this. 207 in GMs testing.
I had a 2008 C6 Z51 and own a 2019 C7 Z51, both beautiful convertibles to own. While I really enjoy the runs you made, could you test a few "regular" performance and sports cars for us plebes? I wont run any vehicle WOT on public roads and have no access to a closed circuit so I have no accurate measure of my cars top speed.
The 1/4 mile just doesn't do anything for me so I avoid those channels. I am a sports car guy so Id rather watch a road course TBH.
Cheers!
C7 hit nice
Do a non z07 c7 z06
I guess right. 😊
And a corvette will meet the speed of the 720
GM's top speed run of 214.88 was made with this exact configuration. 8 speed, low wing, coupe, no track pack.
Once past 100 it pulls strong to about 170, I guess that what 755 hp at the crank can do for you
When is a Porsche 911 (992) Turbo S going to be tested?
It already has but not by this group.
Off the line Porsche has it and mostly endurance, Corvette does it all the way to the finish line.
I don’t think people realize how hard it is to go 200 mph
Especially there's a 15mph headwind and 18mph crosswind
Porsche 911 gt2rs clocked 219.7mph over the same distance
@@Beastnappy it had better conditions. Besides, the GT2 RS makes 690hp to the tires while the ZR1 makes 660. The Porsche is also lighter and more aerodynamic.
Very good comment, it seems so many people have become desensitized to it from movies and video games
@@JohnnyBohmerProvingGroundsSLF your channel is a reality check
Half-Devil
I'd take that over any new C8
Guys are like little babies. You don’t even mention the year of the car now it’s little categories for the last 20 years. That’s not how we referred to Corvettes years ago.!
With Florida being so flat you'd think there wouldn't be any issues with the GPS. I guessed 211 btw.
240? Come on you were almost there!
:)
not 207 its 208 max
Didn’t another one hit 214 on this channel?
Yes. Also stock.
Better conditions
@@aaronvector4750 yes!!! i wish people would look at that because the vehicle owner talks about it in detail.
Nice run!. With those numbers 225 is definitely obtainable with a rear end change.
No lol
That was a scary ride.
Too rich for my blood.
I would have killed myself in that car.
Randy, was not too scary.. that Z was stable a rock.. really. it was strange to keep your foot on the "go pedal" for 55 seconds with no lift.
Will you give me a ride
I’ve read the c7 zr1 can hit 217
it can do 214.88, GM did it in their testing and posted a video. same configuration as this car. 8 speed, no track pack
0~20 MPH in 2.9 seconds lol 🤣 , so wrong infos here
As usual, discrepancies on any social media format.
From specifications, two locations.
Then we have 90% of the wannabes in the comment section. Probably don't even have enough money for the insurance.
It literally says the camera lost signal, it does 0-60 in 2.9sec
How did he manage to do it drive the car in a straight line holding the steering wheel and not having to shift gears in an automatic transmission? Yawn!
That rear wing doesn't help....
991 gt2rs clocked 219.7 mph in stock form over the same distance. That car has a much larger rear wing.
I expected more from 755 HP. I think gearing and drag coefficient of the car are to be blamed.
There was another zr1 that hit 214 on here
Exactly what I thought. The car is lowered, with the rear wing and boxy rear end, the vacuum must be insane
See video posted Aug 12, 2020 Another stock one hit 214. GM governed the ZR1 to 215MPH, so essentially topped out. The big difference is the conditions. 54 Degrees on this one and wind VS 74 Degrees and calmer winds on the 2020 run. Plus the 2020 car may just have been running better that day. No one car has the same perfect run every time.
@@corvetteworldrob8586 You sir are so right. As i mentioned in my earlier post the conditions were not as listed. That was the morning conditions.. by afternoon the temp was mid 70s and a dead east cross wind for our top speed runs. The way Johnny runs this event you do a standing 1/2 mile first and the standing mile next. He is using that to decide if you get to make the run at 2 + miles. That takes you all the way to lunch. As the driver of this car i have tried to analyze ever aspect of these runs. As you might imagine.. Look for the wind sock on the red ZR1 at the very end of his run. [it will be on the right side] It is clearly a strong helping wind. Same with that Demon that Petrol head mentioned. Don't get me wrong, both those cars had magnificent runs. But both had strong helping winds. At the end of the day once you get over 180 mph you it is all about the air..
@@brucemccartney5385 Yes Sir. The wind affected the Papenburg top speed run too. If only there was another mile to play with, we'd see maxed out every time. ;)
Hellcat can do 203 MPH, the narrow body
For more then 700+ hp? Nothing impressive
What speed did you want it to hit?
@@Raphael16045e probably wanted it to hit mach 1
208 from a car that weighs almost 4,000lbs with its driver in less than ideal conditions? that's a damn great speed!
