So lets check out the video of how it all went down.

GM has finally revealed it’s all new 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. The super car will hit the Detroit Auto Show in mid-January 2008.

The numbers are really amazing, 620 horsepower 595 pound-feet of torque will be delivered via its all-new LS9 engine – a 6.2 liter version of the chevy small-block V8 will be fitted with an intercooled supercharger and with a new close-ratio six speed manual with dual-disc clutch.

New 20” wheels and huge 15.5 brakes are the some other highlights.

The most amazing thing is that LS9 will be the first Corvette to be able to achieve a top speed of at least 200 mph!


LS9 looks simply gorgeous with all of it’s carbon fiber exterior, including wide front fenders, roof and a hood with a window which allows you a view of all the horses waiting for your order to roar.

The cockpit includes a 220 mph speedometer along with the sport bucket seats, leather trim, logo sill plates, embroidered headrests, navigation system and Bluetooth connectivity.

Although it is not yet clear how fast the car does 0-60 but it’s the lower 3 seconds.
