Late Model Racecraft Showcases their 1000 Horsepower C7 Corvette ZR1
Late Model Racecraft upgraded this Corvette ZR1 with their ‘LMR1000’ package, yielding 900 rear wheel horsepower.
The folks at Late Model Racecraft build some of the quickest, fastest, and most powerful C7 Corvettes in the world. The Texas tuning shop built the first C7 Corvette in the seven and nine-second range, while having the world’s quickest C7 and one of the world’s quickest ZR1s.
In short, if you have a C7 Corvette and you want to go very fast, Late Model Racecraft is one of the best shops in the world. LMR is also a long-time supporter of CorvetteForum and from time to time, the shop will show off a customer’s car. Most recently, the shop shared pictures and video of this Elkart Lake Blue C7 ZR1 that had been fitted with their LMR1000 package and a set of unique wheels, taking this sexy supercar to the next level.

Members continued to crush on this Corvette ZR1, discussing the exterior color and transmission until “Quiky One” asked for a bit more information.
Mind sharing RWHP numbers? E or 93?

To which the OP from LMR replied with the following details.
“This one made right at 900rwhp on 93 octane. It is so much fun to drive!”
LMR1000 in Action

- Stainless steel mid-pipes
- High Flow Catalytic Converters

The kit is called the LMR1000 package because it lifts the engine output to 1,000 horsepower. In the case of this particular Corvette ZR1, it packs right around 900 horsepower at the wheels on 93 octane pump gas.
After showing off this built Corvette ZR1, the LMR team issued a video of the car in action. It is being driven on public roads by a shop employee, so there is nothing too crazy, but this short clip gives us a chance to hear this monster clear its throat. It sounds great at idle, but when the driver puts the hammer down, this Corvette sings a beautiful song.
Crank up your speakers and enjoy!
