GM to reveal a radically new Corvette

I would def get a yellow or white one. They also offer a purple color too....
 
The white hits hard for some reason.

Recently, Hennessey Performance took delivery of a black 2026 Corvette ZR1 and will likely use it as a base to develop a slew of performance upgrades. To see just how much power it has, it was strapped onto a rolling dyno and in fifth gear, pumped out a remarkable 1,050 hp and 821 lb-ft (1,113 Nm) of torque, at the rear wheels.

It’s unclear exactly what the powertrain losses of the new ZR1 are, but if they are around 15 percent, that means the car’s engine may actually be pumping out closer to 1,200 hp and 944 lb-ft (1,279 Nm), well up from Chevy’s claims. The dyno session was run at 77°F with 26 percent humidity, suggesting relatively standard conditions.

During the best run, the ZR1X launched to 60 mph (97 km/h) in just 1.68 seconds, covering less than 100 feet and pulling a peak 1.75 g of acceleration. For context, that puts it squarely in hypercar territory. Except this one starts at $209,700, not $2 million. Chevy says that on unprepped surfaces, it’ll still do 0-60 mph in 1.89 seconds and cover the quarter mile in 8.99.
 
I wonder if they were running the stock tires that'll come with it out of the box or something special? Being it is the $210k ZR-1X, it's probably the 'standard' tire, but that 1.68sec 60ft time is AWD launch territory, that's fvcking moving!

“The record runs were completed using the ZR1X’s standard aero configuration and standard Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires.”
