The highest priced, most powerful, and best performing Chevy in history has been revealed – the 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. This ultra-high-performance sports car is poised to make history, surpassing the performance of all other American sports cars to date.

With a 638-hp 6.2-liter V8 engine, the 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 finds itself in supercar territory. The ZR1 boasts a 6-speed manual transmission with an optional TAP shift automatic transmission. The roof bow, hood, front fascia splitter, rocker molding and roof panel are all crafted out of lightweight carbon fiber.

With ungodly acceleration, suspension tuning and drilled disc brake rotors,  as well as a bevy of other features, we’re amazed at the $100K sticker price. That’s certainly not cheap, but it’s nowhere near the seven figures you can expect to pay for a comparable Ferrari.

Rock on Chevy!
