I still remember all the excitement that surrounded the release of the original ZR-1. Chevy is bringing the name back -- sans hyphen -- and they're doing it right. The new ZR1 features a supercharged version of the 6.2 liter engine that premiered in the 2008 Corvette. The blower cranks up the output to 620 hp, and the suspension is cranked up too; Chevy claims the new 'Vette will easily generate 1g of lateral grip.
