[VIDEO] Ready for Launch! Customer Takes Delivery of a Corvette ZR1X!

The morning air outside Stonebrier Chevrolet in Frisco, Texas buzzed with the kind of electricity that only comes when something long awaited is finally within reach. Luna Tran had her camera in hand, already narrating the moment with her signature mix of humor and hype. Peter—founder of TX2K, serial car collector, and self-proclaimed “Zaddy of high horsepower chaos”—stood beside her, trying and failing to hide the grin stretching across his face.

“Today is the day,” Luna announced. “We’re here to pick up something that shouldn’t even be street legal.”

Peter nodded solemnly… then pointed at a white Silverado parked nearby.

“My brand-new Chevy Silverado,” he deadpanned.

Not really. Today was about the car—his 2026 Corvette ZR1X.

Inside the dealership, the world seemed to slow. The car sat under the lights like a predator at rest, Arctic White paint glowing, blue calipers peeking from behind carbon fiber wheels. Even Peter, who had owned everything from Ford GTs to Lamborghinis to a small army of Supras, stopped in his tracks.

“Honestly… a little bit speechless,” he said.

Luna circled the car, filming every angle. “You got everything custom made to your liking.”

“Yeah,” Peter said. “I have no cars with blue calipers, like the Porsches have yellow calipers. The Lamborghini is red. Another Porsche is silver. The Ford GT is silver. So I wanted to do something different.”

The ZTK package—carbon fiber everywhere, dive planes, high wing—made the car look like it had rolled straight out of a wind tunnel. And in a way, it had.

“This is your first Chevrolet,” Luna reminded him.

“Yeah,” he said, still studying the stitching inside the cabin. “I’m actually pleasantly surprised and shocked at the fit, the finish, and the quality. Honestly, if you didn’t know it was a Chevrolet, it could pass for a Ferrari, a Lamborghini, you name it. It’s like an exotic.”

He slid into the driver’s seat for the first time, the cockpit wrapping around him like a tailored suit. “Wow,” he whispered.

“Okay. I’m gonna fire it up.”

The ZR1X roared to life—deep, angry, mechanical. Stock, but far from quiet.

“This thing sounds awesome, awesome for a stock car,” he said over the rumble.

Peter shut it down and stepped back out. “All right. Let’s go through the options.”

He listed them like a proud parent:

• Carbon fiber wheels – $13,995
• ZTK carbon fiber aero package – $10,495
• Carbon fiber interior trim – $4,995
• ZTK performance track package – $1,500
• And basically every other box GM allowed him to check.

The final MSRP? Around $263,000. But for what it could do? A bargain.

Because this wasn’t a garage queen. This car had a mission.

“TX2K is next month,” Peter said. “This car’s going on the track. We’re taking the wing off because it creates so much drag, and we’re trying to beat GM’s stock record.”

GM had gone 8.675 seconds. Peter wants 8.674.

“One thousandth faster,” Luna said. “That’s all you need.”

“And if you drive,” Peter joked, “we might actually get it.”

They both laughed, but the goal was real. The ZR1X wasn’t here to pose. It was here to line up.

As they wrapped filming, Luna asked him something more personal—how he got here. How a kid from an immigrant family ended up with a garage full of dream cars and one of the biggest street car racing events in the world.

Peter didn’t hesitate.

“Work ethic,” he said simply. “My parents came here with nothing. Everything we have has been earned. You know, back to the whole lucky versus good thing. Yeah, it’s good to be lucky, but it’s much easier to stumble upon luck if you’ve got a burning fire and a passion and a work ethic that is greater than anybody that you’re competing against.”

He talked about his first MR2, his first Supra, the scholarship that changed his life, the event he built because he couldn’t afford to travel to the national Supra meet. TX2K wasn’t born from money—it was born from passion.

And now, decades later, he stood beside a 2026 ZR1X with his name on the title.
