2025 ZR1 Stops by Jay Leno’s Garage

Jay Leno recently got an up-close look at Chevrolet’s new C8-generation Corvette ZR1 on Jay Leno’s Garage. Leno, a legendary figure in the automotive world, was joined by GM President Mark Reuss to explore the ZR1’s incredible capabilities.

The new ZR1 boasts a twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter V8 engine, delivering a jaw-dropping 1,064 horsepower. Leno, visibly impressed, noted that achieving similar performance from a European sports car would cost millions.

Reuss added that while the ZR1’s price isn’t set yet, it will stay true to Corvette’s tradition of being both aspirational and attainable.

Roy S’s 1967 427/435

I first rode in the white/teal 435 in April 1967, the day the original owner drove it to work. He was a powerhouse, known for drag racing the car, which led to a spun bearing by July 1967 with only 3,500 miles. GM wouldn’t cover the repairs, so he swapped in a new L88 engine. I bought the original motor for my hot rod and have owned it since August 1967. Years later, I acquired the car itself. It’s a no-frills 34,000-mile car with its original bore, still packed with original parts. It scored 99.0 at the Virgina Nationals 2024.
