1000+ HP, anyone?
The upcoming Corvette ZR1 will boast 1,064 horsepower. Expect to pay a pretty penny for it, though:

Re: 1000+ HP, anyone?
.
Couple takeaways... Dual clutch 8 speed tranny It's boosted Only 800 lb-ft of torque Tires: An All season set would cost 1600 plus install. A decent performance tire would cost 2100 + install. The optional Cup 2R rubbers would run 2600 + install. Prototype ran 9.7 second quarter mile...faster than the previous ZR1 From the article: At full chat, the engine runs on 20 psi of boost with so much air pumping through the cylinders that the exhaust exiting the four tailpipes pushes the car with 37 pounds of thrust. I wanna see one of these moving on thrust alone! Put in neutral and redline the engine. -Kevin

The 1064hp is on pump gas. Try E85 and the numbers could be 1400hp+.

Can only use about 30% of that horsepower on the street where 90% of these will end up.
