DragTimes has officially planted its flag at the top of the Corvette performance mountain. At Bradenton Motorsports Park, the team recorded a 9.27-second quarter-mile pass at 153 mph in the all-new Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, and they did it without touching a single modification, earning them the title of having the fastest Corvette, for now. No tuning changes, no aftermarket parts, no trick prep. The car ran exactly as it left the factory.

With their pass now standing as the benchmark for the Fastest Corvette ZR1 ever recorded in completely stock form, it puts an exclamation point on just how serious Chevrolet’s newest flagship really is.

A True Stock Run With Nothing To Hide

What makes this run resonate isn’t just the number on the scoreboard, but how it was achieved. The ZR1 showed up at Bradenton as delivered, running factory power, factory calibration, and factory hardware. DragTimes has long built its reputation on transparency and repeatable results, and this pass followed that same philosophy.

Launching clean and pulling hard through the lights, the ZR1 accelerated like a purpose-built drag car despite being engineered as a street-legal supercar. The trap speed of 153 mph confirms just how much power the platform is making, while the elapsed time proves the chassis, drivetrain, and electronics are working together at a level few production cars can match.

Redefining What The ZR1 Is Capable Of

The Corvette ZR1 has always represented the extreme edge of Chevrolet performance, but this run shifts expectations entirely. Breaking into the nines without modification places the ZR1 in rare company, especially for a car that still carries a warranty and full street manners.

For enthusiasts chasing numbers or debating what qualifies as the Fastest Corvette ZR1, DragTimes has now provided a clear answer backed by time slips and data. It also sets the stage for what’s likely coming next, because history says DragTimes never stops at stock.

For now, the crown belongs to them, and the ZR1 has proven it is every bit the monster Chevrolet promised.
