It’s hybrid

The 2026 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X is a new,, elite-level hybrid hypercar featuring a 1,250-horsepower powertrain, combining a 5.5L twin-turbo V8 with an electric front axle (eAWD). It achieves 0-60 mph in 1.89 seconds (or 1.68s on a prepared surface) with a top speed over 230 mph. It starts at over $200,000 and focuses on top-tier aerodynamic, street-legal performance.

#

Overview has a few errors but thats still pretty insane for a production car

somber pilot
ornate zealot
#

I mean yeah, all the newer corvettes look the exact same

#

The zo6, zx1, and zr1x all have the same engine/body with pretty minimal difference

Wait it’s got an lt7

Og zr1 reference

Or are you trying to say a Z51

ZO6 would make sense because thats pretty much what the zr1x is, an amped up ZO6

When Axel told us he was bringing a very special Corvette to the Goodwood Festival of Speed, we had no idea he would arrive with a 3 Rotor Mazda RX7 engined version of this drift car. The Corvette C6 has become popular as a drift chassis, but people usually leave the LS3 motor in there. This is the first time someone has taken the RX7 turbo engi...

@wise sonnet

somber pilot
ornate zealot
#

Eh, theres a fair bit of difference, still kinda the same body style but not quite

#

Z51 is more of a c8 while zx1r is more of a zo6, which doesn't really matter because they're all pretty much the same base but different engines/features and minor visual/aero differences

somber pilot

its a joke

about corvette owners being total nerds about their car

@ornate zealot did you hear they came out with 94 octane fuel you can get at some gas stations now

ornate zealot
#

Probably stupid expensive

carmine remnant
#

more ethanol

wise sonnet
#

it still only contains 10 percent ethanol

#

at least according to sunoco whos selling it

wise sonnet
#

but the difference between 93 and 94 is not that big

#

i guess if you import a car from japan you can actually run it at the full oem performance levels since 94 is the standard there for premium

ornate zealot
#

I hate people that buy aftermarket rims with the allen head screws holding the center cap because they almost NEVER take any kind of care of them so that way when they come off for the first time in months they stick horribly and snap off 90% of the time no matter how careful you are

"built ford tough" is a joke compared to built toyota tough

while Ford is shooting themselves in the foot with the wet belts, toyota switched to timing chain on all models

the hybrids dont even have an accessory belt

Ive just been exposed to too many idiots making their trucks sound like spaceships because the turbo is louder than the engine

ornate zealot
#

Dont get me wrong, i can appreciate a nice turbo, but most people just make it obnoxious

#

I personally prefer pro chargers or a supercharger

wise sonnet
#

Like the efr 6258 is one of the fastest spooling turbos you can get

#

And it spools almost instantly

#

It’s only really rated for smaller engines up to 400hp but still

ornate zealot

End of the day its all preference

True

#

In the Miata community some people swear by the rotrex

Say it’s way better than turbos

Personally I doubt it but bro is confident
