2K-Mile 2013 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 Is An Exhilarating Drive

Sure, the C6-generation Chevrolet Corvette may not have quite the allure of the mid-engined C8, but in ZR1 guise, it is still a superb value proposition for the performance it provides.

The Corvette ZR1 in question is a 2013 model and while it is almost a decade old, it has only been driven 2,000 miles (3,200 km). The car is listed up for auction through Bring A Trailer and was one of 482 ZR1s built for the 2013 model year and one of just 27 finished in Crystal Red Metallic.

Contrasting the red paint are chrome-finished 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels clad in the original 285/30 and 335/25 Michelin Pilot Sport tires respectively. The car also rocks a carbon fiber hood, roof, fenders, floor panels, side skirts, and front splitter.

A peek inside the cabin reveals Cashmere leather on the center of the seats and across parts of the dashboard and door panels. The ‘Vette also features various black leather components and is equipped with the 3ZR Premium Equipment Group that includes power-adjustable and heated sport seats, a memory package, Bose audio, navigation, Bluetooth, dual-zone automatic climate control, a head-up display, and cruise control.

Powering the C6 Corvette ZR1 is a supercharged 6.2-liter LS9 V8 pumping out 638 hp and 604 lb-ft (819 Nm) of torque that’s mated to a six-speed manual transmission driving the rear wheels through a limited-slip differential.
