2019 Corvette ZR1 Drive Review: 755 Horsepower of American Excess
Corvette ZR1 is an insane monster of a car, and there is no better way to send off the front-engine Corvette than that.
Big changes are on the horizon for Corvette. After all, the new C8 is coming, you know it, I know it, and General Motors knows it. It is set to be the first ever mid-engine Corvette, bringing to fruition something that Zora Arkus-Duntov, the “Father of the Corvette,” put into motion over 60 years ago.
