The Chevy Corvette is America’s sports car and, increasingly, is called America’s hypercar, too, putting up speed and power numbers that rival much more expensive automobiles. The auto giant unveiled some new numbers this week after testing a ZR1X on a drag strip that just made the vehicle even more impressive than before.

Chevy says the Corvette ZR1X can go from a standing stop to 60 mph in a lightning-quick 1.68 seconds, and can do a quarter-mile in 8.675 seconds. If you had told someone 50 years ago that a Corvette had that much speed, they’d have had a good laugh but, these days, that’s just what the model does.

The speed demon in question was equipped with “standard-equipment” tires, fuel from a regular gas pump, and “50-state street-legal engine calibration,” meaning that Chevy did not tune this ZR1X any extra just to go a little faster and put out a nice press release.

The ZR1X makes 1,250 horsepower at peak output, with the vast majority of that supplied by the twin-turbo V-8 engine, in addition to an electric motor that moves the front wheels. The car used Michelin PS4S tires. Chevy did say the surface at the drag strip was prepped for the speed runs, but claims that on “unprepped” pavement, the ZR1X will still get from zero to 60 mph in 1.89 seconds. The base Stingray with the Z51 Performance Package will do the same feat in 2.9 seconds.

“When we made the revolutionary shift to a mid-engine platform, this is the type of performance we knew was possible,” Mark Reuss, president of GM, said in a statement.

It’s somewhat rare to see automakers call out the performance of competing cars in their own press materials, but that’s what Chevy did in announcing the ZR1X numbers. The ZR1X’s zero-to-60 mph time is faster than the Pininfarina Battista (1.79 seconds), Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut (2.4 seconds), and Bugatti Tourbillon (1.9 seconds). The Rimac Never does a slightly quicker zero-to-60 mph time of 1.66 seconds. All those cars cost millions of dollars, while the ZR1X starts at $209,700.

“This is a powerful example of the in-house skill at GM, and the level of performance we developed into this car,” Stefan Frick, who drove the ZR1X, said in a statement.
