620 Horsepower 2009 Chevy Corvette ZR1
Chevrolet displayed the sleek and powerfull 2009 Chevy Corvette ZR1 at the 2008 Detroit Auto Show. With 600 HP on hand and a limited production run of just 2000 cars it’s well worth it’s 100,000 price tag.

The 2009 Corvette ZR1, with its Carbon-fiber roof, enlarged air ducts, brembo brakes similar to those on the Veyron and yes, even the CR-6 race team skull eblazoned right onto the air scoop, steps up and earns the ZR1 reputation and then some. Although the exact stock horsepower rating hasn’t been revealed yet what I do know is that a new Eaton 4-lobe supercharger was mounted onto the improved 6.2-liter V-8 and estimates are floating around at 620 potent bowtie hp.
