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

The only manual V8 RWD sedan left in America is a compelling proposition all on its own; the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing is a reminder of what AMG used to be, and after being refreshed for 2025 with new looks and a 33-inch touchscreen, it's on par with German automakers in the interior tech department. The 2025 CT5-V Blackwing didn't get any performance enhancements when it was revealed at the beginning of this year, and we didn't think it needed any, but now Cadillac has addressed the issue with a new Precision Package that promises enhanced handling for all driving conditions.

America's Last Manual, V8, RWD Sedan Just Got Even Better For 2025

I don’t know what I was expecting to hear — I was pretty bleary from a monster EV road trip. But when the Chevrolet engineer said “1,064 horsepower,” the words “holy shit” escaped my mouth. I really try not to give that kind of feedback.

1,064-Horsepower 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 Is A Shock To The Supercar System

The 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 is a monster just ready to terrorize the European elite. It's a mid-engined American supercar with 1,064 horsepower from a twin-turbo 5.5-liter flat-plane V8 engine, and it's capable of a sub-10-second quarter mile. The first units haven't even hit the road yet, but already, John Hennessey is scheming about how to get even more power from America's wildest Corvette ever.

America's Favorite Tuner Has Huge Plans For The 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1

GM recently dropped the details on the new 2025 C8 ZR1. As an engineer who has worked in both OEM development and aftermarket performance, I’m nothing short of impressed. I spent the last quarter-century bouncing between walking the aisles of the Performance Racing Industry show and releasing engine calibrations that have been driven by millions of unsuspecting users around the world. I have seen lots of 1,000-hp engines. I have had lots of engines go to production after passing emissions, durability, NVH, and safety standards. I haven’t seen very many that did both. Sure, there’s the Bugatti ($3 million and 1,200 hp), the Aston Martin Valkyrie ($3 million and 1,000 hp), and the Ferrari SF90 ($540,000 and 986 hp, combined), but all of these are about as available as unicorn tears to mere mortals. Engines like the Hellephant make over 1,000 hp but have zero chance of passing emissions, so they’ll never be offered in legal roadgoing cars. What we have in the ZR1 is a real accomplishment, and a point where my two worlds seem to have collided.

V8s get a lot of attention when it comes to enthusiast cars, but the humble six-cylinder has become remarkably prevalent in an era where downsizing and turbocharging give you more power with a lower cylinder count. The six-cylinder strikes the balance between four and eight by providing a mix of an engine that can be smooth, reliable, and highly tuneable in the right scenarios. Six-cylinder engines in automotive use are typically found in four configurations:

There’s something truly special about seeing an older vehicle transformed into a high-performance beast, and that’s exactly what we get with this turbocharged and LS-swapped 1984 Chevy Suburban.

In this case, this ‘Burban is now a 10-second burnout machine.

White Pigeon, MI

For a number of years, a company called Centurion Vehicles based in White Pigeon, Michigan, created a handful of models that The Blue Oval didn’t at the time – including large SUVs based on the F-Series, not to mention oddities like van/pickup conversions with dual rear wheels. These Ford Centurion models are quickly becoming red-hot collector’s items, meaning that this 1990 C-350 is more likely than not to attract a lot of attention at auction.

Funny how times have changed. Detroit used to make big sleds that were the world’s envy. Think of a Cadillac Coupe de Ville or a 396-powered Chevrolet Impala, and you get the idea. Station wagons joined in on the fun, too. OEMs sold big block wagons that not only hauled around the family but hauled ass. The heavily facelifted Cadillac Escalade-V upholds that tradition, albeit in a taller and more technically advanced package.
