One event that is bound to get every single O'rielly Chevy of Tucson customer excited is the coming of the heart-stopping and high-octane Indianapolis 500. Billed as the “Greatest Spectacle in Racing”, it is included as part of the Triple Crown of Motorsport, which combines 3 of the most action-packed events worldwide, including the Monaco Grand Prix, and the 24 Hours of LeMans race. It is very exciting for all of us here at O'rielly to announce that the 2019 Corvette ZR1 will be the car chosen to lead drivers to the green flag during that exciting day, in the thrill-packed event sponsored by PennGrade Motor Oil.
This is the 15th time that a Corvette has been awarded the ultra-cool escort duty of Official Pace Car since 1978, and the 29th time that a car made by Chevy has led the way, a tradition dating back to 1948. This was when the stylish and then-brand new Fleetmaster six convertible was the leader of the pack. There has been no other vehicle at all that served as the status-hailing leader to the flag more often than the Corvette. To celebrate this very meaningful legacy, the 2019 ZR1 along with 14 other Corvettes that have paced during the Indy 500 were on display there last week. It comes as no surprise that the fastest Corvette ever in production is going to lead the pace crew for the Indy 500 once again, and those who were previously unfamiliar with the wide reach of this amazing car's potential will get a great chance to witness it up close and personal.
The true flex and power source for the 2019 ZR1 is gleaned from the LT5 Small Block 6.2-liter supercharged V-8 engine, sporting 755 hp, and 715 lb-ft of torque. Shifting is allocated by masterful means of the 8-speed 8L90 paddle-shift automatic transmission, getting the task at hand done with ease, while the ZR1 possesses the ability to expertly handle every single inch of the track. Here at O'rielly Chevy, we can show you how the performance package greatly enhances the ZR1: you'll enjoy the addition of an adjustable stanchion-mounted carbon fiber high rear wing, Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 Tires, and world-class tuned suspension.
Magnetic Selective Ride Control is the very first fast-reacting suspension built worldwide, and was originally presented to the high-performance club dutifully from Cadillac. It is an amazing system that uses a specific fluid infused with amazingly-engineered technology and magnetized particles, that are put expertly in place to respond to rapid changes that occur during various driving conditions. It was engineered with such precision and skill, that it can respond and react very quickly to every unique corner or bump in the road with an amazing level of accuracy, and quickly make the adjustments to perfect the ride.
It is also very revolutionary to have the Performance Data and Video Recorder on board of the 2019 ZR1: it converts the vehicle into a very advanced analysis tool for your driving. Every single aspect of the drive is recorded, including video and audio at real time, along with 34 different channels of performance data, to help review your last spin in depth. You are able to take an up-close look at the most thrilling moments from the track, and use the results of the data to hone in on lowering your time, or the way in which you want to handle the wheel for your next run. All of us on staff here at O'rielly will be intently watching the Indy 500 Race this May, and we are overly excited about once again being the prominent brand behind another offering of Pace Car contender!
