2009 Corvette ZR1 rounds the 'Ring' in 7:26.40

General Motors development engineer Jim Mero drove a stock ZR1 around the Nürburgring in a time of 7:26.4. That's faster than the 7:29 lap set by the Nissan GT-R.

GM indicates the car was bone stock with the exception of the communications and safety equipment. The tires were production Michelin Pilot Sport 2’s. These tires have been developed specifically for the ZR1 and will have impressive wet traction and wear (tread wear rating = 220), in addition to excellent dry road holding. Chassis alignment and vehicle height were set to factory specs. Likewise, the engine calibrations were absolutely stock, emissions compliant and the car ran on pump (not racing) fuel. The vehicle was exactly like the cars that will be built in Bowling Green, Kentucky and sold around the world later this summer.

GM is going to release an in-car video of the lap, but to give you a taste of speed here is the slightly slower Nissan GT-R.

2009 Corvette ZR1 638 HP and Hits 205 mph

GM released more information on the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 supercar – 638hp (476kW) and 819Nm (604lb-ft) - and now there is a video showing the potential of the car. GM hasn’t released the top speed rating for the ZR1 but here we see it reach 205mph (330km/h).

The Ultimate Aero is one of the most extreme vehicles on the road today, achieving incredible performance via its twin turbo V-8 engine. With an incredible 1,183-horsepower and 1094 ft.-lbs. of torque there is simply no other production car that can match the impressive raw power of the Ultimate Aero . Combine supreme power with its lightweight, aerodynamic body and the best handling systems available and SSC has delivered a vehicle that not only eclipses the performance of much more expensive vehicles, the Ultimate Aero is fully capable of owning the title of the World's Fastest Production Car.

Danica Finally Gets Her First Win

Danica Patrick makes history as she becomes the first woman to win an Indy Car Race. Danica Patrick silenced her critics in style Sunday as she took the lead with three laps to go in the Japan 300 and crossed the finish line ahead of pole sitter Helio Castroneves. Team owner Michael Andretti stated it wasn't a matter of if she would win, but when she would win. Danica is now looking for her second win. After a visit to the Sprint Cup race at Phoenix International Raceway rumors started flying weather Danica would make a jump to Nascar. She looked at a possible jump into Nascar in 2006 when her contract was ending. Her current contract will keep her active until 2010. "Yes, I'm knee deep in Indy car," she said. "But when your contract time comes, anyone would be foolish not to explore options that are relevant. You have to go where you feel you have the best chance to win and the most opportunities and where you feel your heart is."
