Chevrolet recently unveiled the 2025 Corvette C8 ZR1, the most powerful production Corvette to ever leave their factory. This beast is powered by a twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter V8 that produces 1,064 horsepower and 828 pound-feet of torque from the start. So, how do you like a rush of speed? With the ZTK package, 0-60 in 2.3 seconds is a guarantee, and this beast can then blow past the quarter-mile in 9.6 seconds at 150 mph.
Chevrolet and Ford have been trading blows for years, and now their top-of-the-line performance vehicles are going head-to-head. The Corvette ZR1 is Chevrolet’s flagship model, a mid-engined beast with twin turbochargers that provide crazy amounts of power. Ford responds with the Mustang GTD, a significantly modified pony car that is equally at home on the racetrack as it is on the road.
Doug Stewart spent years getting his hands dirty on American muscle cars in a quiet little shop down in Florida. Then in 2008 a shiny new silver Corvette coupe rolled in – straight off the factory floor with that unmistakable growl of an LS3. Stewart saw an opportunity though – more than the standard spec, he wanted a car that would turn heads wherever it went without hesitation. What started out as some weekend fun soon turned into a full-on rebuild, slapping a custom body onto the old C6 frame that drew more than a few nods to European exotics.
Mat Watson, the ever excitable host of Carwow, has pitted American muscle against German precision once again. This time it’s a detuned European-spec Chevrolet Corvette Z06 against a Porsche 911 GT3 in a quarter-mile drag race.
Shaquille O’Neal is 7 feet 1 inch tall and 325 pounds. He doesn’t fit in with the average population. Clothes, furniture and cars are often too small for the NBA icon. His latest car, a custom Chevrolet Corvette C8 Z06, addresses that issue in a bold yet subtle way. Effortless Motors in Riverside, California built this Corvette which has been stretched 20 inches to fit Shaq’s big frame. It’s the longest C8 in the world, a one off supercar for a one off man.
