*BREAKING* 2025 CORVETTE ZR1 IS FASTER THAN CHEVY SAYS! (FULL UPDATE)

hey everybody how's it going welcome back to the channel for a great day today I have some very exciting news for all of you drag racing enthusiasts or anyone who loves a chasing the fastest acceleration times possible now this is news that I think a lot of you can take uh different ways because I I think there's so much evidence that's pointing towards this there's not much you can say to counter it I'm curious to hear all of what you guys have to say in the comment section down below so stay tuned throughout this video as I explain the big picture of what we're talking about here but as the title suggests yes this new Corvette is faster than what Chevrolet has said and I know you're thinking how could it be faster why would they not uh give us the full let's say breakdown of how fast it is why would they hold anything back well there's a couple of reasons as to why that could happen and I'm excited to break that down in this video I am very confident that this vehicle once it HS the streets we're going to see incred incredible numbers absolutely incredible numbers not only down the quarter mile drag strip but also down the half mile first I need to go over what is basically happening with the current times that we have gotten from Chevrolet so far so if we go over the numbers and I have them right here in front of me it goes down the quar mile with the ztk track package in 9.6 seconds at 150 m per hour this is the ztk car again giving you the big Wing the big dive planes which if you don't know what this is another the wing is obvious to see but up front you'll find these blades that are shaped kind of like my my hand how it's pointed upwards like that and it's flattened out there's a contour right here in the middle like a Bend it's very smooth anyways that helps you get more down force and as you guys all know uh more downforce equals more pressure that those uh tires are dealing with on the ground so they stick more and they don't want to come up allowing you to Corner faster you need this for cornering stability and cornering speed for going to the racetrack there is not a fast lap time if you are not able to Corner fast it's all about keeping momentum if you can't keep momentum then you can be lapped and beat by a Miata with your 2,000 horsepower drag racer do you get what I'm trying to say it's because that Miata can carry the speed throughout the corners it's done always about accelerating but when you have so much power you want to really make sure that you can have enough handling and balance so maintaining a proper amount of balance is important and that exponentially just climbs and you're dealing with more uh speed throughout track so the more downforce uh the better I would definitely say going back to that acceleration time of 9.6 uh seconds at 150 milph if we look at the standard Corvette ZR1 which goes down the4 Mile in 9.7 seconds at 152 milph here's what we can find out and before I even go further let's pause it there because if we look at and examine the 0 to 60 times we also see an interesting framework where the ztk track package car is faster than the base car even though it has more down Force Scarrow there's a few reasons as to why that is first off with more downforce uh you're not going to really face any of the detriments until you start picking up speed this is like the tapering off effect I've talked about in the past when it comes to dealing with cars that have a lot of fixed aerodynamics fixed aerodynamics are similar to what you see with a Porsche GT2 RS even a GT3 RS from the 991.2 generations I would say any car really has fixed Arrow unless you go into the active aor cars like the Ford GT the McLaren 750s we have inside the studio right now also the newer 992 generation Porsche GT3 RS active AO cars allow to have all the uh down for you are for the corners but then they relieve a lot of that pressure for accelerating anyways the reason why you're not getting a major uh disadvantage accelerating 0 to 60 is because the air is not really holding the car back it's got so much power so right away we know the track car is faster also 0 to 60 now let me explain how this car allog together is going to be faster than the numbers we have seen here all over the board real quickly though I'm over here at the speed Fon Film Studio at the podcast desk it's so fun hanging out here we got the YouTube plaque award for getting well past 100,000 subscribers you have tons of really cool just racing memorabilia from over the years of doing all these amazing tests here on the channel if you want to come out check out the shop see the showroom cars and get your car either wrapped uh ppf even get ceramic coating or window tining completed we'll definitely take care of you here at our state-of-the-art studio here on the beach of Carlos bed California we are right here above San Diego and it's really nice because right next to us is Rancho Santa Fe for Rancho Santa Fe Cars and Coffee we have the San Clemente OC Cars and Coffee 20 minutes away too I mean we are right here centrally located so uh if you guys need any work done for your vehicle to enhance the Finish or protect the Finish make sure to give us a ring at 760 496 8607 or email support speedon film.com we give the best prices around and we be competitive pricing so that is why this uh Studio was started to help the local enthusiasts and our subscribers here on the channel back to this video now this is where it's going to be fun this is where the mic drop moments going to happen because when you look at the numbers we have this base Corvette ZR1 is slower yeah down the drag strip with uh the time but it's got a faster trap speed what does that mean well it means it's able to pick up speed faster in the same amount amount of distance also with the 0 to 60 it's about2 seconds slower than the ztk equipped car because the ztk equipped ZR1 goes 0 to 60 in 2.3 seconds the base car goes 0 to 60 in 2.5 seconds why could that be well the ztk track package car has this super uh sticky inexpensive like $3,000 you know tires Michelin Pilot Sport cup 2 RS these are the stickiest tires money can buy they are used exclusively really for the fastest cars ever on the nurburg ring what I'm trying to say here is that the tires are much stickier or just more sticky than the standard zr1's tires the standard ZR1 uses pretty much off the shelf like a hard Michelin Pilot Sport for tires these are not an our compound Tire these are an all summer uh Performance Tire they're very sticky they're very grippy but they are not a cup two R when you go to the track on a cup two R you're going to be seconds faster because those tires are Like Glue that's allowing the car to accelerate even faster out of the Dig I would also say in terms of after market you can make this ZR1 Faster by simply putting on a set of let's say uh nit tires or Toyo AR ARS maybe anything that is sticky and uh meant and ready for going down the dragon strip but if we add up all the numbers if this ztk track package car is2 seconds faster going 0 to 60 than the base car why is it only .1 second faster down the quarter mile it's because the base car is catching up in terms of accelerating meaning the only Advantage this ztk car really has I would say would come from the launch if you put the same exact R compound tires on the standard ZR 1 and we equate the math here let's say it can tie the ztk car 0 to 60 which would make that 2.5 second 0 to 60 go to 2.3 that would completely change the variables of the rest of the quarter mile time because we know past 0 60 this ZR1 base model is .1 seconds faster or it can pick up speed quicker than the ztk car the base car with the the same tires as the track car would give us an even faster quarter mile time anyways hope you guys enjoyed watching this video if you did please hit the like button it really has helped me out and subscribe
