The 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 has shattered performance records, claiming a 0-60 mph time of just 2.3 seconds. With a 1064-horsepower engine, this new ZR1 is not only the most powerful Corvette to date but also the fastest. It can reach the quarter-mile in an astounding 9.6 seconds, hitting 150 mph.
ZR1’s Speed: What Makes It Unbeatable
Chevy’s 2025 Corvette ZR1 is engineered for speed. With the ZTK Performance Package, this supercar is built to dominate the drag strip. The package includes Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2R tires, front dive planes, underbody strakes for extra downforce, and a large rear wing. These upgrades help the ZR1 maintain superior grip and stability, enabling it to blaze through the quarter-mile at 150 mph.
Without the ZTK package, the ZR1 still delivers impressive performance. It can reach 60 mph in 2.5 seconds and run the quarter-mile in 9.7 seconds at 152 mph, all while running on 93-octane pump gas.
Comparing the ZR1 to Other Corvettes
While the Corvette E-Ray, with its hybrid all-wheel-drive system, is the quickest Vette we’ve tested, clocking 0-60 mph in 2.5 seconds, the ZR1 surpasses the E-Ray in sheer power and track performance. The Corvette Z06, equipped with the Z07 package, cleared the quarter-mile in 10.5 seconds at 131 mph, showing that the ZR1’s straight-line speed is in a league of its own.
In comparison, the C7 Corvette ZR1, with its 755-hp supercharged V8, hit 60 mph in 3.0 seconds and needed 10.8 seconds to run the quarter-mile at 135 mph. The 2025 ZR1 clearly takes the performance crown with its unmatched acceleration and track times.
