Review 2013 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 User Manual Pdf Download - An optional interior package includes power-adjustable leather-trimmed sport seats, leather-wrapped interior elements (including the dashboard), a navigation system, and Bluetooth connectivity. The interior leather treatments are available in four colors.

New for the latest model year is a 60th Anniversary Design Package that includes an Arctic White exterior along with an Blue Diamond leather-wrapped interior with suede accents. Upping the style quotient is a ZR1-style rear spoiler, special badging, gray-painted brake calipers and a "60th" logo on the wheel center caps, steering wheel and seat head restraints. An optional graphics package adds full-length racing stripes in Pearl Silver Blue.

The ZR1 has the largest wheels ever of any production Corvette -- not just in diameter, but in width also. The rims measure 20 inches in rear diameter and 19 inches up front. Rear width is a whopping 12 inches, while the front wheels are nearly as massive at 10 inches of width.

In terms of wheel finish, a bright silver paint coat is standard and a chrome version is optional.

The matching Michelin Pilot Sport 2 tires measure P285/30ZR19 in front and P335/25ZR20 in the rear. While Michelin's PS2 tires are offered on many vehicles, these were engineered specifically for the ZR1, GM says.

The car's braking system features Brembo carbon-ceramic rotors measuring 15.5 inches up front and 15 inches at the rear- the same units used on the Bugatti Veyron supercar. GM says the rotors are so durable they should not requiring replacement for the life of the vehicle.

The ZR1 is the quickest, most powerful and most expensive Corvette model ever made. It boasts 638 tire-shredding horsepower, the same Brembo carbon ceramic brakes used by the Bugatti Veyron and a sophisticated suspension system employed by a number of Ferrari models.

A 6.2-liter "LS9" V8 motor produces 638 horsepower at 6500 rpm and 604 pound-feet of torque at 4000 rpm, thanks in part to a four-lobe Eaton supercharger. Hand-built in Wixom, Michigan, the big V8 teams up with a close-ratio six-speed manual gearbox with a new high-capacity clutch designed for the increased power. The twin-disc 260mm design provides plenty of clamping power, while maintaining a relatively easy clutch action.
