0-60 Exclusive: Driving the ZR1

A hot lap in the ZR1 at GM’s Milford Proving Grounds.

We drove the ZR1 and it was ________. Oh right, all driving impressions have been embargoed until August 20th, so you will just have to wait until the next issue of 0-60 hits stands to read all about ‘Merica’s new supercar (the Fall 2008 issue just so happens drop on 8/20 as well). But until then let this video speak for the ZR1, as our wheelman Thomas Lyman keeps pace with what we saw from Jim Mero at Milford. Check out his moment of pucker at 32 seconds.

I hope you are not implying that Tommy Lyman is not competent, but if you are you may want to look into his background. A quick google search will show that not only is he a regional SCCA champ, he also holds a few track records… That, I would say is competent.

[...] Proof that 638 horsepower will do massive burnouts. The ZR1 is fast, as seen here. Did you also know it could do burnouts till your retinas bled from tire smoke? If you didn’t, here is some proof. Autoblog uses the ZR1’s power for something other then going fast. var staf_confirmtext = ‘Mail sent’ #stafBlock { position: absolute !important; z-index: 100000; display: none; width: 200px; } #stafForm { background-color: #ffffff; border: 1px solid #d90000; padding: 5px; margin:0; } #stafForm h2 { margin: 0; } #stafForm input, #stafForm label, #stafForm h2 { font-family: Arial, Sans-Serif; font-size: 11px; color: #333; } #stafForm input { width: 90px; height: 15px; margin-top: 5px; border: 1px solid #999; } #stafForm label { float: left; display: block; width: 90px; line-height: 16px; } #stafClose { float: right; margin-right: 5px; } x [...]
