2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 3ZR For Sale With Just 2,290 Miles
A Corvette worthy of the name
While the C8 Corvette may be making headlines as the record-setting, supercar-killing, mid-engined American monster that it is, the C7 Corvette still holds a special place in enthusiasts' hearts. The C7 was likely the last front-engined Corvette, a formula that carried the nameplate for seven generations, and this particular one, with a mere 2,290 miles on the odometer, is for sale on Exotic Car Trader. You can check out the listing by clicking here.
This example is C7 ZR1, the highest-performance variant unveiled for the 2019 model year, which was also the C7's last year of production. It's finished in Torch Red with Carbon Flash accents and sits on ZR1 Carbon Flash-painted wheels with contrasting red-painted brake calipers. The interior carries the carbon fiber treatment, with a carbon fiber instrument panel, and a leather-wrapped carbon fiber steering wheel. Optional equipment on this one includes the Sueded Microfiber-Wrapped Upper Trim Package and the 3ZR package, which adds a Bose 10-speaker sound system, navigation, Performance Data Recorder, heated and ventilated seats, and front curb-view cameras.

Chevrolet did not hold back with the ZR1
Being the most powerful C7 Corvette you could get, the ZR1 used an all-new 6.2L LT5 V8 engine equipped with a 2.6L Eaton supercharger that was 52% larger than the one used on the Z06 variant. A new fuel injection system was also added to feed the hungry beast along with an upgraded crankshaft, bringing the C8 ZR1's figures to 755 hp, 715 lb⋅ft of torque, and a 214.88 mph top speed. That engine could be mated to either a 7-speed Tremec TR-6070 manual transmission with rev-matching technology or an 8-speed GM 8L90 automatic transmission with paddle shifters.
Keeping all of that power planted was plenty of aero equipment developed in collaboration with Pratt & Miller's Corvette racing team. It features a chassis-mounted rear wing, a front splitter, and a new front underbody spoiler. The ZR1 also features an enhanced cooling system, which includes large vents in the front bumpers and on the hood, a larger intercooler, and four additional radiators, for a total of thirteen. That larger cooling system also makes the ZR1 heavier than the Z06, at 3,560 lb. Stopping power is provided by the carbon ceramic brakes, while the double wishbone suspension system with magnetic ride control keeps you comfy off the track.

Final thoughts
The fact that the Corvette C7 ZR1 is still a machine to be reckoned with speaks volumes about how much passion and character Chevrolet put into it. This is definitely one of the better examples available on the market right now, with incredibly low miles and an extensive list of options to go along with the already mindblowing standard equipment. What might let this one down in the eyes of some enthusiasts is the fact that it's equipped with the automatic transmission, something that also drops its value on the second-hand market. If that doesn't bother you, though, this one could be yours for $185,000. Look at it this way, that's not a bad price to pay for the kind of looks and performance that the Corvette C7 ZR1 provides. Supercars beware.

A Steep Mountain Drive, a Brake Failure and a Volvo Recall
Peter Rothschild was driving home down a steep single lane road in northern California, when suddenly his Volvo SUV started accelerating out of control. 'I kept pushing on the brakes and pushing on the brakes,' said the 69-year-old retired radiologist. But for several seconds, nothing he could do would slow down the car.

Inside the ‘Radical Transformation' of America's Environmental Role
Ever since 1965, when President Lyndon B. Johnson's science advisory committee warned of the dangers of unchecked global warming, the United States has taken steps to protect people from these risks. Now, however, the Trump administration appears to be essentially abandoning this principle, claiming that the costs of addressing climate change outweigh the benefits. The effect is to shift more of the risk and responsibility onto states and, ultimately, individual Americans, even as rising temperatures fuel more extreme and costly weather disasters nationwide, experts say. 'It's a radical transformation of government's role, in terms of its intervention into the economy to try to promote the health and safety of citizens,' said Donald Kettl, a professor emeritus at the University of Maryland's School of Public Policy. Lee Zeldin, the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, this week proposed to repeal the landmark scientific finding that enables the federal government to regulate the greenhouse gases that are warming the planet. In effect, the E.P.A. will eliminate its own authority to combat climate change. Speaking at a truck dealership in Indianapolis, Mr. Zeldin said the E.P.A. would reverse a 2009 scientific conclusion, known as the endangerment finding, that greenhouse gas emissions pose a threat to public health. He said the agency would also rescind Biden-era regulations designed to reduce planet-warming emissions from automobile tailpipes. While few people have heard of the endangerment finding, it has had a profound effect on society. Its establishment cleared the way for the Obama administration to set the country's first limits on greenhouse gases from cars and power plants, with the goal of putting more electric vehicles on the roads and adding more renewable energy to the electric grid.

Trump Will Slow, but May Not Stop, the Rise of Electric Vehicles
Sales of Teslas are plunging. General Motors and other automakers are increasing production of big pickups and sport utility vehicles. Republicans have killed incentives for electric vehicle purchases. Electric vehicles have clearly lost momentum in the United States. And combustion engine cars and trucks are enjoying a renaissance to the dismay of environmentalists who worry about air pollution and greenhouse gases. But there's reason to believe that electric vehicles will remain a significant part of the U.S. car market and that sales of these models will eventually grow again in the coming months. Electric vehicles from Tesla and some other automakers are less vulnerable to President Trump's tariffs than many conventional cars because more of their parts are made in the United States. Advocacy groups are conducting marketing campaigns to emphasize the lower fuel costs and other advantages of electric vehicles. And automakers appear to realize that they cannot give up on electric cars if they hope to remain competitive globally. Washington has become hostile to electric cars. Government policy on electric vehicles has reversed since Mr. Trump was elected. For consumers, the most visible change is the elimination of tax credits of up to $7,500 for electric vehicle purchases and leases. The credits, which Democrats put in place when Joseph R. Biden Jr. was president, will now expire at the end of September under the big policy and tax law that Mr. Trump signed in July. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
