Chevrolet Confirms Corvette ZR1X Runs 8.675-Second Quarter Mile on Street Tires

GM says pump-gas, stock-tune runs were repeatable on a prepped Michigan strip, underscoring hypercar pace at a fraction of the price.

Overview

  • GM validation testing recorded a best pass of 8.675 seconds at 159 mph with a 0–60 mph time of 1.68 seconds.
  • The test car used standard aero, Michelin Pilot Sport 4S street tires, pump gas, a stock calibration, and optional carbon fiber wheels.
  • Chevrolet reports multiple back-to-back quarter-mile runs dipped under 8.8 seconds, indicating repeatability.
  • On an unprepped surface with the ZTK track package and Cup 2R tires, the ZR1X ran 8.99 seconds and hit 60 mph in 1.89 seconds.
  • Corvette engineer Stefan Frick employed Custom Launch Control during the October 2025 runs at US 131 Motorsports Park, as GM touts the car as the quickest production model built in America with pricing from about $209,700.
