2019 AMP Corvette ZR1 Runs an 8.57 Quarter Mile!

A Corvette ZR1 Built By Advanced Modern Performance Runs a Boost-Only 8.57 Quarter-mile

This “Track Missle” Corvette Sets the Bar Very High With a Trap-Speed of 160 MPH!

Since Chevrolet unlocked the ability to tune the all-new LT5 V8 engine earlier this year, a number of individuals and companies have begun unlocking the true potential of the 2019 C7 Corvette ZR1.

Advanced Modern Performance (AMP) has emerged as one of the front-runners in the area of modifying the seventh-generation ZR1.   Headquartered just south of Dallas Ft. Worth Airport in Grand Prairie, Texas, AMP specializes in late-model performance upgrades for domestic cars and trucks, including the Corvette, Cadillac and Camaro, along with other exotic or specialty race cars.  AMP’s ZR1 Corvettes have already proven themselves at the dragstrip.  They’ve put up some truly remarkable track numbers, including setting the current quarter-mile record for the new LT5-powered Corvette.  Their car managed to run a quarter-mile in just 8.57 seconds with a trap speed of 160.25 miles per hour!

Admittedly, the car features a long list of high-performance upgrades, but there are still a number of stock components on the car.  The car’s engine block, crankshaft, connecting rods and pistons are all stock, as is the automatic transmission, the torque converter, the rear differential and the axles.  The car does feature a number of performance upgrades, which include:

• Ported-and-Built LT5 Cylinder Heads
• Kooks Headers
• a Custom Crankshaft
• an Innovators West 9-Percent Lower Pulley
• a Griptec 2.7-Inch Upper Pulley
• a Ported LT5 Supercharger
• ID1050X Fuel Injectors
• a Methanol Injection System
• an E85 Engine Tune…

…along with a number of other components that are needed to complete this type of engine build.  For anyone that’s interested in knowing more, you can get a complete list of hardware used by clicking here.
