Default Motor Trend Tests Corvette ZR1
Well some may say not a big deal Car & Driver tested one and said it was pretty fast. Well Motor Trend dropped the hammer and was able to pull off a zero to sixty time of 3.3 seconds, and rip the quarter mile in a bad-ass 11.2 seconds.

Fantastic! Now those numbers seem more appropriate for a 3,300 lb car with 630 hp. Nice job MT.

I think this car can run DEEP in the tens as-is, especially driven by Ranger.
