We're sure the C8 ZR1 will be superior, but this is still an impressive 'Vette
A slew of upgrades were made to the Corvette 's 6.2-liter supercharged V8. This particular C7 ZR1 has only been driven ~5,000 miles . It also features Chevy’s optional ZTK Track Performance Package with a large front splitter. The new Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 delivers an extraordinarily 1,064 hp from its twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter V8. However, it’s not the only ZR1 with a four-digit horsepower figure, as a C7 model upgraded by Hennessey Performance is just as punchy and is up for auction.

The ECU has also been tweaked to make the most of these upgrades.
