We get to see the new 2025 C8 ZR1 in action again in this video filmed by Import Race on YouTube where it took on a McLaren 720S. This wasn’t a standing start drag—it was a 65 mph roll race over a 1/3-mile distance, designed to level the field by eliminating traction issues.

On one side stood the all-new 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, delivering a staggering 1,064 horsepower. Facing it was one of Britain’s finest—the McLaren 720S, representing the latest 750S generation with 740 horsepower on tap. On paper, the Corvette has a massive 324-horsepower advantage, but the McLaren counters with hundreds of pounds less weight and a proven track pedigree.

Which one crosses the line first—the American or the British powerhouse? Watch the video to see how the matchup unfolded at Pocono Raceway in Pennsylvania.
