Corvette ZR1 by the Numbers - GM Media Report

The Corvette ZR1 has a top speed of 205 mph
(330 km/h), making it the fastest Corvette ever produced and ranking it among the global super cars of commensurate performance. No other super cars, however, equals the ZR1's performance-per-dollar ratio.

The Corvette ZR1's 0-60 performance is 0.3-second quicker than the already-quick Corvette Z06 and the 0-100-mph performance is nearly a full second quicker - 7 seconds vs. the Z06's 7.9 seconds. It is performance that is equal to or better than many super cars costing substantially more. Read more here.
