Manthey-Tuned GT2 RS Edges Out ZR1 at Road Atlanta

Porsche's Manthey Racing kit-equipped 2019 GT2 RS set a new production-car lap at Road Atlanta with a 1:22.649, narrowly beating the C8 Corvette ZR1 by two tenths. The package adds aero, suspension, brakes, and carbon components—and costs about $113,140 on top of the GT2 RS's base price—while keeping the 700 hp twin-turbo flat-six and Michelin Cup tires; driver Jörg Bergmeister credited the upgraded chassis and downforce for the win, signaling Porsche's bid to reclaim performance glory on rival turf.

Man Quickly Offloads 2026 Corvette ZR1 After 40 Miles

A nearly new 2026 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 with 1,064 horsepower, only 40 miles on it, is being sold not as a flip but because the owner finds the car too powerful and overwhelming to handle, despite the high bidding price over MSRP. The owner bought the car out of passion, not for profit, and the sale has sparked discussions about the challenges of managing such high-performance vehicles.

"Unveiling the Unthinkable: The 2025 Corvette ZR1 and Its Revolutionary Features"

Chevrolet has announced the upcoming debut of the new Corvette ZR1, rumored to feature a twin-turbocharged V8 engine, potentially making it the first factory-produced turbocharged Corvette. The ZR1 nameplate has a rich history, from the original C3 variant to the C4 model developed by Lotus, and the powerful C6 and C7 iterations. The new ZR1 is expected to be powered by a 5.5-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine, likely surpassing 670 horsepower. With the possibility of paying homage to the B2K Callaway Corvette of the 1980s, the mid-engined Corvette ZR1 is anticipated to set a new standard for speed in the Corvette lineup.
