As the second go-around of the ZR1 variant, the 2009 edition was a beast to drive.

From our own preview of the model back in 2019:

“… under the pressure of the 600 horsepower Dodge Viper, General Motors has blown the 'Vette's engine by means of a large displacement supercharger. The new engine, designated as the supercharged LS9 small-block V8, displaces 6.2 litres. Hand built in Michigan, this is the most powerful production engine ever from GM, supposedly pushing 100 horsepower per litre.”

Price in 2009: $127,545
