The opening betting odds for this scrap saw Veretennikov as the -185 favorite over the +160 Prado. The betting line on this one has flipped.

As If The C8 ZR1X's 1,250 Horsepower Isn't Enough, Chief Corvette Engineer Hints At An Even Wilder Model
We've hardly had a chance to wrap our heads around the absurdity of the 1,250-horsepower, 233 mph-capable Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X after it was unveiled last month, and Corvette's chief engineer Tony Roma is already hinting at the possibility of an even wilder C8. The Corvette ZR1X and its hybrid V8 powertrain may be the quickest, fastest, and most powerful performance car that Chevrolet has ever produced, but the latest hints add the wonderful qualifier of ...for now. In an interview with Top Gear, Roma said, "the ZR1X is not the end of the story, it's just the latest chapter." He goes on to say that the C8 Corvette's mid-engine platform is proving to be very capable, and that the engineering team is on board with pushing the Corvette's limits even further. The ZR1X uses a twin-turbocharged version of the 5.5-liter LT7 V8 found in the already very powerful Corvette Z06 to drive the rear wheels, and a front axle–mounted electric motor sending power to the front wheels. Its electric motor is slightly more powerful than the front axle motor in the Corvette E-Ray, the other high-performance version of the C8. Read more: These Are The Most Annoying Things About Your Cars Ford and its bonkers Mustang GTD usurped the title of fastest American car around the Nürburgring from the 2017 Dodge Viper ACR last year, with a blistering 6:52.072 lap time, and Chevrolet is itching for its chance at that title. Roma said, "Having the crazy lap times and ridiculous acceleration is part of what makes these cars what they are, so I think we are going to continue to make the car faster for those bragging rights, because our customers appreciate that. It's the same with any performance car manufacturer – we push each other with Nürburgring lap times for that reason. We've done some testing, and all I can say is... stay tuned. We want to be the fastest American car - that's an accolade we'd love to have." Whenever new mention is made about a more powerful Corvette, the internet sets ablaze with speculation that it might be the rumored Zora. Zora Arkus-Duntov was known as "The Father Of The Corvette" because he convinced Chevy that a proper performance car and halo car was a necessity for the brand in the sixties, and he championed a mid-engine design. The world has waited for an "ultimate Corvette" named after Zora for many years now, but such a model has yet to exist. Before the ZR1X's name was announced but it was known that a new and more hardcore Corvette was in the works, it was assumed to be the Zora, but those hopes faded once the ZR1X's name was made official. It is possible, though, that this latest rumor could finally be the fabled Corvette Zora, so we certainly will stay tuned and keep our fingers crossed. Want more like this?

ESPN Debates Mahomes As NFL's Best QB
ESPN Debates Mahomes As NFL's Best QB originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Before hitting 30 years old, quarterback Patrick Mahomes' legacy in already undeniable. The Kansas City Chiefs star may have come up on the losing end in February's Super Bowl LIV, but it's important to remember that that matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles was Mahomes and the Chiefs' third consecutive Super Bowl appearance, having won the previous two, and three of the previous five. Advertisement We can go on and on about Mahomes' playoff success, his two MVP awards and historic numbers ... but at this point in the offseason, it's fun to compare how the eight-year vet stacks up against his peers. Currently, that is ... despite how hard it is to input Mahomes' history on the line in defense of his present-day ability. In ESPN's annual positional top-10 lists, the quarterback group was announced Monday, with Mahomes topping the competition as the game's best. Still. It's his third straight season peaking the list, as voted on by NFL executives, coaches and scouts ... but writer Jeremy Fowler acknowledged that Mahomes' mediocre season last year (to his standards, statistically) has led to a "loosened" grip of the top spot. "After dominating the voting with back-to-back No. 1 rankings in convincing fashion, Mahomes garnered around 60% of the first-place votes this year, which is still impressive but well short of last year, when he received all but one first-place vote," Fowler said. Advertisement However, complete context is necessary in assessing Mahomes' 3,928-yard, 26-touchdown, 11-interception season in 2024. "OL in decline, particularly at tackle, WR group completely cleaned out by injury, [Travis] Kelce not near the same player," one coordinator said about Mahomes' supporting cast. In light of that, Mahomes is still Mahomes. "I thought he had more command of time/score/situation and better fundamentals from within the pocket than ever," the coordinator added. "He's a one-man army. And no NFL coach wants to deal with him. Complete dawg. No one like him." Advertisement This season, Mahomes has run into tough competition with the likes of the Buffalo Bills' Josh Allen, Cincinnati Bengals' Joe Burrow, and Baltimore Ravens' Lamar Jackson - who were ranked second, third, and fourth, respectively, and each received at least one first-place vote this year. ESPN's resident quarterback Dan Orlovsky offered some push-back on Fowler's ranking, saying Mahomes' play last season (what these rankings are supposed to be based on, remember) did not meet that of the other three. In defense, the question was phrased as whether Mahomes is "still clearly and obviously" the best QB in the league. Orlovsky's response of "no" was appropriate, as Mahomes did not "clearly and obviously" perform as well as the others throughout the season, excluding his postseason success. Advertisement "Patrick, out of that group of four, the top four, he was fourth last year in the league, when it comes to just watching them play," Orlovsky stated. "But there is the reality," he continued, "that Patrick, not once, not twice, but three or four times, has played his absolute best when it's been needed the most. Those other three guys haven't necessarily done that." So, while these types of lists are supposed to rank the best individual players based on their ability at this particular time, it's still hard not to reference the players' performances on the biggest stage, and in turn, their trophy case over the course of recent memory. Allen is coming off his first MVP award. Jackson has won two of those, matching that of Mahomes. Burrow lacks the trophies, but he's coming off the best season of his career, leading the NFL in yards and touchdowns. Advertisement This group will be in the running for the best quarterback label for years to come. But until then ... The differentiator is that the latter three are still searching for their first Super Bowl title. Which means there is still some catching up to do with the Chiefs' superstar. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jul 14, 2025, where it first appeared.
