Chevrolet should be utterly proud of its all-conquering 2009 Corvette ZR1 for there aren’t challengers to the farthest mile which can make the viper look modest. Motor Trend is aware of the ZR1's supremacy and the only way they could think of making the moniker look meagre is darting it with an F/A-18 Hornet from the Blue Angel squad. Be as less caustic as you can be, but even then the pitching of the two together was unfair by all means. There is no way in the world that 618 horses can take on the might of mach 1.8 coupled with 32,000 pounds of thrust. Thankfully the bid was to hit a mile first, so they still think that the Vette doesn’t fly! Video after the jump.
