The 212-MPH, 755-HP Corvette ZR1 Is a Street-Legal, Track-Ready Monster

I told you last night that the Demons have been excised and that the new Exorcist Camaro was King. Looks like Big Bowtie Brother wouldn't stand for a Camaro being king of the street. Feast your eyes on the 2019 Corvette! Truly a beast!

In 1987, the Buick GNX beat the Corvette in the 0-60 and the 1/4 mile and GM was upset.
The next year, the A-bodys were no more and the front wheel drive cars that replaced them were lame!!
The Corvette back then did low 14 while the Buick did mid 13s. That is now a little slow today!

C4 General Discussion - Flashback...1987 Corvette L98 vs GNX V6 Turbo Intercooler - Ok gents, I was admiring an awesome looking 1987 Buick Grand National GNX; I came home knowing that I had a DVR from American Muscle (Speed TV). I watch the episode and lots of question came thru my mind. This two are for any of you

And you're right, nothing that came after was even close.

TSgt David L. - Not meant to put down the newest vette, I just had a flashback to 1987. I always wanted a Grand National and I recall the GNX being like the 1973 SD 455 Trans Am as being the last of the real fast ones from Pontiac.

Enlighten me about the Cyclone..I rode on one of these in High School. This classmate had Pontiacs in his family. GTOs, Trans AMs, Catalinas, Grand Ams and Bonnevilles. This Trans AM could go sideways almost at 35 mph when floored..

The Cyclone and Typhoon were GMC S-15 pickups and Jimmy's, respectively. Basically the same power plant as the GN (GNX was Bi-turbo vs. the single of the GN). Very limited run, and ran like scalded dogs.

GMC Syclone - Wikipedia

The GMC Syclone is a high-performance version of the GMC Sonoma pickup truck. Produced in 1991 by GMC, the Syclone spawned the similarly powered 1992-1993 GMC Typhoon SUV. Another vehicle, the GMC Sonoma GT, offered less performance but was seen as a companion model.
