It only has 800 ft-lbs of torque though. At high speeds , wind resistance increases exponentially; just like a load. Diesel engine always have more torque than horsepower, that is why they are always uses in high resistance/ load conditions.
The Bugatti Veyron has 1,106 ft lbs of torque. People , please understand the difference and functional operation of horsepower and torque. Torque is more important than HP
Yo have You ever been in a car going 120 - 165 MPH ? / when they get around to it there is a movie at Nuremberg ring try to see it when it comes out soon as they are still testing the ZR1, hell they have been running the Zo6 in IMSA for the last 5 or 6 years right in front of our nose's and testing the Zo6 and ZR1 motor The last two or three Years. You have alot to catchup to - remember they showed the test with the car with The Wing at 205mph (which had done 215 or 225 mph - can't wait for the car with out the wing and it's test run at Nuremberg Ring 2024.
@@JR-mc4wg active aero would add more weight depending on the amount you’re looking for. But I see what you mean. Theres no middle ground. Either low slippery configuration with the base, or full on track car with the ZTK package
@AYO_KO They should have added an active wing instead of the static wing. It shouldn't weigh too much more. It will also cut loads of unnecessary downforce.
@@JR-mc4wg if they did it like the koenigsegg Agera R back in 2011 with the flex wing. The wing itself is supported by dampers that flex, reducing drag, the faster you go.
It does. This spec has 1200lbs of down force. 1068 crank is like 960-970whp. The spoiler is like a brake at higher speeds so it slows the car down but is faster around a track than the low spoiler model. That one most likely will go 220-240mph I estimate
@@AYO_KO maybe GM isn't ready for that just yet. Considering the corvette market, I don't think they want a full EV Corvette. I guess the affection for the E-Ray will lead to decisions later down the road. For now I am so pleased with this new ZR1. It feels like the last Harumph of pure ICE power and engineering. in 10 years who knows what we will have.
@@josephroman7396 definitely not optimized for big power numbers especially in the LT2 cars. Kind of a similar story with the S550 GT500 7 Speed DCTs. They’re good. But won’t realize their potential until Tremec unlocks them.

204 mph?! 1K horsepower and all that aero. Nurburgring (or however tf you spell it) times are finna be insane!
@@458italiap if the mechanical grip it there, it’s over. I’m expecting sub 6:45 with ease
Tadge Juechter: Exceeds 215 "comfortably". Pay attention, they have consistently said how much OVER 215 it will do, not that its top speed is 215.
@@russsmith1011 you’re right. I touched on that in my later videos about the new “King of the Hill”

Different trans different engine. What is the Bugatti a W16 not V8
Its just showing how much downforce that thing has. Even without the wing.
@@skylerschaffer according to GM Execs, the ZTK Package can reach 215 even with all the downforce
It could have not been geared for top speed.
93 octane? 1064 hp!! think ?
@@user-cl7tx3to1z GM Execs confirmed it. 93 Pump Gas through PI n DI added with big boost from big turbos. Simple.
*DOWN FORCE CAN LIMIT TOPSPEED......LOOK AT ACR VIPER ONLY DID 177MPH TOP SPEED.....*
@@fredchenney4407 compared to the GTS going 206mph. Safe to assume the ZR-1 minus the wing will see a 220-230 with ease
The weight and the aero are slowing it down. It needs active aero.

Yea this don't add up. 😮
@@drfaticus more power than a Bugatti Veyron. less weight than a BMW M4. Yet has a top speed rated lower than an Aventador right🤣🤣

@@DigitalSubset word‼️
was never impressed with a top speed over 200. I would take the trade off of getting to 170 very fast with different gear ratios.
@@phoenix21studios I feel what you’re saying but at some point, I’d just go EV if all I wanted was quickness without any topspeed

215 max top speed is a joke for a car with over 1k hp.
Not really. You’re not considering this is a factory car with a warranty. 215 is the governed from them..
It's a track weapon not a Bugatti
@@timsautovision6145 you see what I mean. 1064hp 828tq?? ICE?? I gotta see 230mph to 240mph on the dash. Even if it’s limited to 225-230.

Its a track car not drag spec dip shit
