We have a new world record for fastest LS9 Corvette, and it’s glorious. BigKleib34 from the wild world of YouTube was at a WannaGoFast event and managed to snag video of this Jet Stream Blue behemoth. This particular ZR1 is still using the factory LS9 under the hood, but power has been pushed to north of 1000 ponies.

We have no word on exactly how much power this thing is making, or what the exact modifications are, but what we can tell you is that is cracked 191 mph in just a half mile. Make sure you watch the whole video below. Not only do get to see the crazy 191 mph run, but there are few other runs as well, so you can see this ZR1 destroy a few other competitors like a C7 Corvette, a BMW M4, and a Supra.

This is raw American muscle at its finest. A huge V8, coupled to a big supercharger, eating every single opponent that stands in its way. Gotta love it.
