Late yesterday GM revealed official power ratings for its Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 supercar – 638hp (476kW) and 819Nm (604lb-ft) - and now we have a video showcasing the potential of the car. GM hasn’t released any top speed figures for the ZR1 but here we see it go all the way to 205mph (330km/h).

  You have to love big displacement engines. That guy stayed in one gear for the longest time...
  I guess a bunch of Rednecks from Kentucky really do know how to build a car...
