Even With 1,064 HP, the New Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 Will Have a Tough Time Toppling the Z06

Unless you’re reading this story on a GM-owned device, you’ll be waiting a while for your chance at a thrill ride in the 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. GM has pulled the wraps off its 1,064-hp supercar a full year before deliveries begin so that the development team can finish its work on the aerodynamics and cooling systems without the camouflage interfering.

The Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 is the most powerful version of the sixth generation of Chevrolet's pony car.

The Ford Mustang needs no introduction, and in 2024, it is somewhat in a class of its own. It returned for 2024 with its V8 engine intact and even better than before, refusing to follow the Chevy Camaro and Dodge Challenger to the grave. Ford already gave us the Shelby Mustang GT500, it unveiled the GT3 race car and even gave the world the Mustang Dark Horse.

For Ford fans, the performance years of the 1960s brought one advancement after another, and that time line begins with Ford’s assault at Indy in 1963 with its DOHC V-8 based on the small-block Windsor. Meanwhile, Ford’s “big-block”—the FE engine family—which began modestly in 1958 at 332-, 352-, and 360-cubic-inch displacements—had by the time of this story grown to 427 cubes and would power Ford to wins at Le Mans in 1966 and 1967. The subject of Eric Dahlquist’s original story, the 427-ci SOHC “Cammer,” was based on the FE and showed what could be done quickly within the warrens of Ford powertrain. At the time, it was unknown whether the engine would see production in factory-built cars (it wouldn’t), but for a short time the hemi-headed cammer would please crowds in A/FX cars built by Holman & Moody and Bill Stroppe Engineering before becoming a darling in the nitro-fueled ranks in front of drivers like Don Prudhomme, Connie Kalitta, Jack Chrisman, and Don Nicholson. —Johnny Hunkins.

The 1,064-horsepower 2025 Corvette ZR1 has no equal. The last-generation ZR1 had a mere 755 horsepower—over 300 less than the C8 version. For that reason, developing this car presented some interesting challenges. How would the Corvette team develop the new ZR1's tires, suspension, and powertrain without having any data on something that powerful? The solution was interesting, to say the least.

The 5.9L Cummins diesel engine is best known for its time when it powered Dodge trucks beginning in 1989, and it's an engine that certainly helped propel the Ram into being one of the top pickup truck brands. If you're looking to get as much performance as possible out of 5.9L Cummins diesel, then you need to set your sights on the latest iteration of the engine that you can find. For the first several years, there's no difference in performance as the engine produced 160 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque from 1989 to 1993.

The mantis shrimp is one tough customer. Beautiful and deadly are two words you don’t typically use to describe shrimp, but the mantis shrimp is definitely in a class of its own; earning a reputation as the ‘savage boxer of the sea’ and one of the most fearsome creatures in the ocean. And, they're right at home here in South Carolina.

It used to be that an inline four-cylinder was just slightly more powerful than a lawnmower, but modern performance technology, as well as super and turbocharging, has made them formidable engines. In fact, there are some high-output I-4s that rival V-6s and even V-8s, both in horsepower and torque. Gone are the days when four-cylinders were only for sensible compacts, as they now power some of the hottest rides around.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

Debuting with descriptors such as "mind-bending," "like a freight train," and "next level," the new 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 has the chops (on paper) to be the most powerful Corvette ever assembled. Think non-electrified 1,000+ horsepower from a twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter V8, a top speed of over 215 mph, plus a cool homage to the 1963 Corvette Stingray—this new sports car is out to kick supercar butt and take names.
