Chevrolet is taking aim at one of motorsport’s toughest challenges with the new Corvette ZR1X. The 1250 hp hybrid supercar is set to attack the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, targeting a sub-9:53 run to become the fastest production car on the mountain.
Behind the wheel will be racer JR Hildebrand, piloting a 2027 Corvette ZR1X up the brutal 12.42-mile course. With 156 corners and an elevation gain of 4,725 feet, Pikes Peak is an extremely demanding as well as dangerous course that cannot be taken lightly.
The Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X will compete in the hybrid production class. It will be running a stock exhaust setup and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2R tyres to make the most out of its attempt.
Powering the ZR1X is a 5.5-litre V8 engine accompanied by a front-mounted electric motor. With an all-wheel-drive setup, this car has a 0-60 mph time of just 1.89 seconds with the ZTK pack.
Lmfao lets see what happens cause that car will choke that zr1x is a over hyped aluminum paper weight I have a 318 long block that will smash that in all numbers

Put down the crack pipe
Great story bro 👍🏼
JR Hildebrand driving the ZR1X took 1st place in his class.
I am Chevy man , I have a 94 Chevy truck. It has a 350 , that I played with to make it stronger and go faster .
I am not sure what to think of GM. It would appear that they are still trying to catch up with a production car made by Ford in 1965
Great story bro 👍🏼
