LMR1200 Corvette ZR1 Is a Bargain at $160,000

C7 Corvette ZR1 with the LMR1200 package ran 9.0 at 157 miles per hour in street-friendly form.

Late Model Racecraft has helped to create some of the baddest Chevrolet Corvettes on the street or track, and right now, you could buy the C7 Corvette ZR1 that was used for the development of their LT5 performance packages for $160,000. This car was posted to Corvette Forum‘s “C7 Corvettes for Sale” section” with video, pictures and details, but if you know high-performance ZR1s, all you need to know is that this is THE Late Model Racecraft C7 Corvette ZR1 and you can make it your own.

LMR1200 Corvette ZR1 Introduction

When the Late Model Racecraft account posted this Admiral Blue 2019 Corvette ZR1 to the forum for sale, the brief following information was shared, along with a track video of the car running 9.0 and an array of pictures.

LMR1200HP 2019 ZR1 Corvette. This car has all options. 3ZR with Track Package. I believe the rarest color produced for these, 57 total. 5500 miles on the odometer

This car was professionally done with Paint correction, ceramic coating, and clear bra. ($4500)

From the outside, this looks like an average 2019 Corvette ZR1 with all of the bells, buzzers and aero bits, but this supercar is far from average. Of course, the price tag might scare off some less-serious buyers, but keep in mind that a loaded 2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 with the 3ZR trim level, the automatic transmission and the rest of the options leads to an MSRP over $140,000. When you add in the $35,000 price of the LMR1200 package and the $4,500 paint protection package, this car would cost around $180,000, if not more. In other words, a list price of $160,000 makes this C7 ZR1 a smoking deal.

LMR1200 Details

After “kutlow” asked for more information on the LMR1200 package, the OP shared this mod list.

That list of upgrades, plus a set of drag radial tires, were enough to allow this new Corvette ZR1 to run a 9.0 quarter mile with the big wing out back. If they had removed the wing, this C7 would have likely run in the 8-second range, but for a car running in the same form in which it is driven every day, it is crazy quick.

If you want to buy a new Corvette ZR1 that you can drive every day and run low 9s at the local drag strip, there is no car on sale today that is a better option than the LMR-built Chevy supercar.
