So, looking at this car, we can remember a very famous proverb: “Appearance is deceitful!”, because from the 1st sight, it looks like a “usual” Z06 with a vinyl-clad hood. But, it is just a beginning. So, first of all, this Corvette ZR-1 posses a new motor LS9, it is supercharged, its powerplant is from 600 up to 650 horsepower and due to the forecasts it can run a 0-60 in 3.5 seconds. Corvette possesses the 6.2 L V8 engine, also, it weighs less than his predecessor Z06. In order to increase the reliability of the car while driving, there was made a bigger spoiler, thus, the “Blue Devil” seems to be a rather balanced car. At the test drive the car had Michelin tires. It will cost approximately $100,000.
