Default 2019 ZR1 @ Drag Strip WTH!!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mD-XQotZ8q4

Cold day and running 130 MPH this does not equal 755HP
If so Bob's and Kevin's LT5 ZR-1's must have 850hp both run 135+MPH.
WTH!!!
Can somebody please explain this.

I would've love to see his timeslip.
Pete

Looks like driver issues. he said he had a 2.3 60' time, his reaction time in the first one was terrible as you can see from the light. So my guess is he broke traction mid track or something like that.

That first run he was out of the throttle before he was through the mph trap. Appears to have shut down before the finish line.


All else equal, the mph would increase with some more miles. These arent the lightest Vettes either. That orange #4 ZR1 did dyno at 688rwhp.


A 2016 ZO6 has run a 10.0@132.7mph (Road & Track)with ONLY 650hp/650lb/ft torque.


I am seeing reports of 10.12@ 135 for stock 2019 ZR1's.

Ahhhh....... that is Street speeds channel. I've been watching his Youtube Vids for a few years now. He now has TWO brand new ZR1s, one manual the other automatic. He also has a 750 McLaren......He makes all his money from his Youtube channel. He seems like a nice guy, but comes across as annoying and arrogant.

How he got the 1st manual Z offered is beyond me, I'd say because of the popularity of his channel. He keeps saying he will buy the mid engine Corvette when it come out. And I bet he will have one of the 1st ones offered for public sale.

On his website.

This is how he gets his money and how he has time to play on youtube.
