Chevrolet announced the much-anticipated 2009 Corvette ZR1 that can reach speeds of 0-60 mph in 3.4 seconds while reaching a top speed of 205 mph. This dazzling beauty is equipped with a 600-plus horsepower (638 bhp), 6.2-liter supercharged LS9 V-8 with an unusually large 604 lb.-ft. of torque. This all comes at a hefty manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) of $103,300.
With all this you'd expect the ZR1 to be very liberal with gas consumption but it (surprisingly) has an estimated EPA fuel economy of 14 mpg city and 20 mpg highway. The ZR1 is meant for ultimate performance and with its pumped-up and supercharged engine and high-tech components weigh a nominal 3300-lb. curb-weight. Keeping up appearances, the ZR1 doesn't disappoint. It keeps the signature larger wheels and tires, 19 x 10 in the front (size 285/30R-19) and 20 x 12 at the rear (size 335/25R-20).
