Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 Vs. Lamborghini Revuelto: Which 1,000-HP Supercar Wins In A Drag Race?
Meanwhile, with a starting price of more than $600,000, the Lamborghini Revuelto costs about as much as a small house and only makes 1,001 hp. No one who owns a Revuelto cares because they make enough money to also buy a ZR1 any time they want, but on paper, it sure sounds like Chevrolet built a budget Revuelto-beater. Heck, the ZR1 is even several hundred pounds lighter than the plug-in-hybrid Revuelto, with Car and Driver showing 4,290 pounds for the Lamborghini and 3,831 pounds for the Chevrolet. Their testing also showed the ZR1 running the quarter-mile two-tenths of a second quicker than the Revuelto.
That's just testing, though. It isn't a real head-to-head race in the real world. If you lined both cars up at the drag strip and ran them against each other, which car would come out on top? Well, DragTimes recently decided to find out.

Italy Vs. America
Sadly, YouTube punishes creators who get right to the point, so the intro on this one is obnoxiously long. Skip to about 5:10 if you want to start at what probably should have been the beginning of the video. As tested, this ZR1 comes in at about $210,000. Meanwhile, the Revuelto cost an eye-watering $683,000. That said, it does have a V12, and it sounds glorious. Not that the ZR1 sounds bad — even with its turbos, the 5.5-liter V8 also sounds incredible. It's just no V12, you know?
Even with the extra weight you'd think the Revuelto would at least beat the ZR1 off the line, but in the first race, that definitely isn't the case. The ZR1 gets ahead almost immediately and takes the win. Allegedly, the Lamborghini spun its tires on the launch, slowing it down, so for the second race they prepped the drag strip again. As you can see in the video, that's enough to give the Revuelto the edge and eke out a win. Of course, you can't end the game with the score tied, so they ran a third race, ultimately giving the Revuelto the overall win.
You could say that's good news for drag-racing Lamborghini Revuelto owners who spent an extra $400,000 on their cars, but let's also not forget that Chevrolet just revealed the Corvette ZR1X. As an all-wheel-drive hybrid, it's a better match for the Revuelto that happens to also make 1,250 hp. It'll probably have a starting price of at least $200,000, but if the rear-wheel-drive ZR1 can already hang with the Revuelto, something tells us the ZR1X will easily walk the Lambo. Then again, the Revuelto also has a V12, and who can put a price on that?

Automakers are going big on in-car subscriptions. Are customers buying it?
Consumers don't want to pay for it. Automakers are still pushing hard. In-car subscriptions have become a growing obsession for many automakers which see strong revenue potential from recurring customer payments. But it appears that initial attempts to paywall built-in hardware and software features, such as cameras, sensors or navigation perks, haven't been too successful, with few drivers willing to take on yet another monthly bill. That has brought automakers to their next challenge: convincing customers to subscribe. An S&P Global Mobility survey this month found the number of respondents who were willing to pay for connected services in their vehicle dropped to 68 per cent this year, compared with 86 per cent in 2024. "Subscription-based services (navigation, Wi-Fi, etc.) are increasingly being met with resistance from price-sensitive consumers who may not see the value in paying recurring fees for features they do not frequently use," the report said. Drivers now have a range of options to subscribe to: semi-autonomous driving, roadside assistance, in-vehicle apps, stolen vehicle assistance and access to Wi-Fi — all at different price tiers. However, steep subscription costs on top of sticker prices of new vehicles remain one of the biggest barriers for many consumers. To get past that, some automakers are offering temporary complementary access to connective services in hopes of gaining loyal customers. Ford Motor Co.'s semi-autonomous driving feature costs between $650 and $900 per year after a 90-day free trial, for example. General Motors Co.'s OnStar subscription can be as high as $39.99 a month after a free trial, according to its website. Automakers which are known for their affordable prices have also joined the race for subscription-based connected services. Kia Corp., for example, has a three-tier subscription offering for owners following a three-year free trial period, which offers services such as a charging station locator, digital key access via smartphone and roadside emergency services. The subscription model is in its evolution phase, said Stephanie Brinley, associate director of autointelligence at S&P Global Mobility. "We're trying to figure out what consumers are willing to pay for, how much they're willing to, (and) how they want it bundled," she said. Despite the initial resistance, automakers haven't given up yet. Instead, they're rolling out brand new technology and features in the hopes of enticing drivers to pay for subscriptions. "They're pivoting to that new tech," said Daniel Ross, senior manager of industry insights with Canadian Black Book. "It's more on what's new and what they've never had before." Ross said as newer technology comes out, there will be more opportunities for automakers to release new generations of cars with updated software. And that's one of the pitches for customers to subscribe, he added. "If you want that type of technology that's advanced, that's the newest age, that's something you can tell your friends about, this is the way you pay for it," Ross said. Brinley said automakers are building a road map to help scale this in-car technology and these features to make it more affordable for consumers in the long run — all while keeping personalization at its core. "Once you have the platform and the service developed, the margin is really high," Brinley said. "The fact that it's connected is not really the element that consumers get excited about," she said. "It's what does that connectivity do for you as an owner?" Some customers may find value in GM's OnStar safety and security package that alerts for help during a crash, while others may subscribe to Ford's self-driving feature for a month-long road trip. "The appeal of a feature is that it makes driving easier," she said. Brinley said automakers have started to talk about their revenue expectations from subscription-based services more concretely. That "means they're making progress," she said. On recent earnings calls, GM projected revenue from its hands-free feature, Super Cruise, will be more than $200 million in 2025 and is expected to more than double in 2026. Meanwhile, Ford said the number of its vehicles equipped with the hands-free driving feature, BlueCruise, have more than doubled in the last year to just under 700,000 units. "You can see our relationship with our customers no longer ends the point of sale or financing. We're starting to build lasting relationships and creating new avenues for reoccurring growth at Ford," CEO Jim Farley told analysts during its fourth-quarter earnings call. Ross said automakers are banking on the trickle-down effect of the connected services subscription. Often, features first introduced to high-end customers gradually filter their way down to mainstream customers, who are looking for affordable and budget-conscious options, he explained. Brinley said the subscription model is still in its early stages. As it progresses, so will consumer expectations. "If you have a car that has some of these features and then you go to buy the next car, you think that it just should be there," Brinley said. As consumers get more used to connectivity, their expectation of what comes with a vehicle and what they're going to pay will also evolve, she said. "There's probably going to be a lot of flexibility over time in how people choose to consume that," Brinley said. This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 25, 2025.

Carvana Stock Could Jump Another 30%, Oppenheimer Says
Carvana stock has been on a tear since April. Some analysts believe its acceleration is just beginning. Oppenheimer upgraded Carvana's stock on Friday from 'perform' to 'outperform' ahead of the company's scheduled release of second-quarter results on July 30. Analysts gave Carvana (CVNA) a $450 price target, implying a more than 30% upside and zooming past other price targets shared with Visible Alpha. Analysts who follow Carvana gave it an average price target of nearly $370, according to Visible Alpha. Oppenheimer described Carvana as a 'unique, digitally-driven disruptor' poised to gain traction in the "expansive and inefficient domestic used car marketplace." Now that it has brought down operational costs, Carvana is poised to benefit from growing demand, analysts said in a research note Friday. 'While shares have rebounded to all-time highs," Oppenheimer said, "investors still under-appreciate near- and longer-term growth and profit potential for the company." Other analysts agree that Carvana is making strides, but expect this to have a more modest impact on share prices. Visitors to Carvana's website increased 7% year-over-year in the last quarter, BTIG said Friday, while raising its price target to $395 from $330. JPMorgan lifted its price target to $350 from $325 earlier this week, citing Carvana's recent gains in market share. Carvana shares were recently up slightly and trading for $330. They've nearly doubled in price since April 4—around the time that analysts published bullish notes on a company some expected to benefit from tariff-fueled demand for used cars.
