So Just How Much HP Does A New ZR-1 Put To The Wheels? More Than You Think!

Continuing our virtual checklist of things to do with the new 638-horsepower Corvette ZR1, a trip to dyno to see just how much power the new King of the Hill is sending to the rear wheels can now be checked off. Corvette Forum member "Alvin" had not one, but two Corvette ZR1's to play with on a dynojet earlier this week. Word on the street and yet unconfirmed is that these two ZR1's were part of the group purchase of 5 made by Hendricks Motorsports team.

The first Corvette ZR1 to hit the dyno was this Cyber Gray car which had all of 30 miles on her. The bone stock SAE adjusted number came in at 530 rwhp and 508 ft-Lbs of torque. After making some tuning adjustments, we see the SAE adjusted numbers rose to 567 rwhp and 532 ft-lbs of torque. The dyno sheet is below:

Umm 009, those numbers are with a ECU tune.

I'm not scoffing at 520RWHP but the higher numbers on each car are with a tune.

Not stock.

That's because there is very little quality in GM these days, and therefore they can put out a car with these performance numbers, at a "reasonable" price, but just wait until you have it in the shop constantly like my cousin's was last year....piece of junk!
