Corvette ZR1X v Ferrari SF90: DRAG RACE

We 'd like to say a big thanks to the guys at Ingenious Vehicle Kraft and Level Car Connection for aiding with the cars for this video!

It's America vs Italy in this quarter-mile drag race!. Mat's lining up against the brand-new, twin-turbo hybrid Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X in the legendary plug-in hybrid Ferrari SF90 Stradale. On paper, this is an outright heavyweight clash of hybrid hypercars- so let's see how the stats accumulate before they hit the runway! Beginning with the Chevy, the Corvette ZR1X sets

a relentless 5.5-litre twin-turbo flat-plane crank V8 with a front-mounted electrical motor to produce a shocking 1,267 hp and 1,123 Nm of torque! Power is sent to all 4 wheels and it has an 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox. The whole thing pointers the scales at 1,875 kg and it costs$ 240,995. Then we have the Ferrari SF90 Stradale. Behind the chauffeur sits a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8, assisted by three electric motors for a combined output of 1,000 hp and 800Nm of torque. Like the Corvette, it sends out power to all four wheels through and also has an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission. Though it has a small weight benefit, can be found in at 1,670 kg and it costs around$ 540,489. With 267hp more in the Chevy, you may believe the ZR1X has this in the bag– however Ferrari's

launch control and lighter kerb weight make it a major giant-killer! Will American muscle take the crown, or will Italian engineering hold the line? There's only one method to learn … LET'S RACE!.

      The driver of the ZR1X is not a professional, just an ordinary person. If a professional driver had been behind the wheel, the Ferrari wouldn’t have even come close to the ZR1X. Furthermore, if the ZR1X weren’t equipped with the carbon fiber wing, it would be even faster off the line, as the wing adds weight and drag to the car. Such a wing is only effective for track racing, not drag racing

      Wassup, I want to share the gospel with everyone:
      (Psalm 34:18)
      “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted.” God will always be near you when you need Him most, even at your lowest point. Don’t give up. No matter how difficult life gets, God has a plan for you, and I promise He will heal you. Just put everything in His hands. The Rapture is going to happen, whether it’s today, tomorrow, or centuries from now. It’s coming; the prophecies of the Bible are coming to life. Repent and believe; Jesus is the Messiah. He will forgive you and accept you. He accepts all His children.
      Believe in Him, repent, and forgive your neighbors. Love everyone, even if they do things we don’t agree with. Jesus would want you to forgive them, just as He would. Forgive each and every one. It’s not too late to repent.

      You guys are ridiculous. The ZR1X is faster than a Koenigsegg Jesko. A standard ZR1 is faster than a SF90 in EVERY instrumented testing. This channel is ridiculous.

    He also racing the ultimate aero version of the ZR1X! The ZR1X without the aero is quite a bit quicker.

      @TheRealWilduck

      But also is running on Cup tyres that gives the initial edge. 😉 All in all one nulls the other. Ah, and don’t forget the extra 200 hp. Even with that power difference it’s not a foregone conclusion for the win of the Corvette.

      @ezioauditoredafirenzi

      @MichaelK7 it’s always excuses with you, people right?
      You forget the fact that, that wing is, what’s keeping the rear glued to the ground, remove that, and you will have movement, the TC will kick in and it might not show against a slower car, but a car like Ferrari even the tiniest wheel slip and that Ferrari is gone.😂

      Also, Ferrari states dry weight, the original weight is usually 150 kg more than what Ferrari claims (wet).
      SO EVEN THE WEIGHT IS NOT AN EXCUSE FOR YOU NOW😂😂😂😂

    3. @ezioauditoredafirenzi Avatar
      @ezioauditoredafirenzi

      @TheRealWilduck these people are also talking about weight, but little do they know? (anything outside of America).
      Ferrari States dry weight and its usually 150kgs more wet so even weight is almost same but the 267hp and 324nm torque difference is from how overlooked by these American bots🤣🤣

  8. @ItsKokkigokul Avatar
    @ItsKokkigokul

    Looks Like the huge wing of the ZR1X adds up drag as the car speed increases as we can see the ferrari gaining at the high speed towards finish line, may be ZR1X without that huge wing of track setup gives much better pull on high speed for the vette

      @viktorbihar5384

      ​@Jaypee45Why? Cuz every pther video shows a dramatic difference, but in this one it doesn? Well who would have guessed? No duh, they have the wing on. How tf is it staged? So drag doesn’t slow down cars? They have the frigging Aero pack on for crying out loud. You know, the wing that is supposed to keep the car down?

  14. @LSs1Power Avatar
    @LSs1Power

    Its close because of that parachute on the ZR1X. Also from a roll he should have clicked the plus in the cruise control button to give him full power.

    The rear spoiler creates a lot of drag. The best times were done without the big wing

    5. @viktorbihar5384 Avatar
      @viktorbihar5384

      Why do they do this? Does Matt think he cool or something. The SF90 lost in literally every other race when the Wing was off of the ZR1X. They’re also doing it in the heat, it’s still relatively warm where they’re at. Can they ever get anything right? They don’t even try handling the power.
