The ZR1 had always been down as the “King of the Hill,” at least since the modern era, where the DOHC C4 example dominated the streets. Those of us who were around in those days never thought we’d see another Corvette like it on the road, directly from Chevrolet, anyway. We ultimately ended up with the several higher-performing Corvettes as the years went on, ultimately ending up where we are today with the C7 ZR1.
Packing 755hp right out of the box, providing corner carving handling and lighting quick acceleration, it can’t possibly get much better… can it? Oh, it can. With the help of Advanced Modern Performance, you can transform your modest 755hp (at the flywheel) daily driver, to a world-class dragstrip terror that’s good for mid-8s in the 1320.’ AMP calls it the ZR5.
We depicted the results of the hardware needed to make this happen above, but if you want a complete list of all of the components, as well as a package price, scroll down or simply click HERE.
