how are you guys feel about the new zr1. my boss is getting one. he has a e55 amg.

Timeless

They suck. He should just give it to me and keep his E55.

ENDSMTG

Won't be worth sh*t in 2 years! Wow, what am I saying my MB isn't worth sh*t either. Oh, well at least I have drive dynamic seats.

Chevy just released its 'official' numbers for the ZR1.
11.3 @ 131..nuff said.

05VENOM

And since Chevy was ultra-conservative with the Z06 numbers..who knows what it will really run.

My father put down a deposit on one about 5-months ago, I can't wait for it to get here . . .

Still saying it's

but can't wait for Vette guys to go through what we've been going through for years.

"Hey guys, I took the ZR1 out today....95 degrees and humid and something is wrong...it's a total dog on power today. Feels like my old Z06."

Ohhhh, heatsoak is coming.

These cars were built for road courses...although there's been lots of talk about it on corvetteforums, I don't think the heatsoak will be as bad as what we are used to with the 55K cars. There are plenty of s/c'ed LS2 and LS3's out there with little to no heat problems. I'd imagine a GM engineered supercar would be fine in the heat.

+1,....they are very conservative. The trap speed says it all.

nasty period

deuce zer0

Expensive is what comes to my mind.

I think the ZR-1 wil be a beast and after mods a human catapult.

Sweet car but if this article is accurate me thinks I'd go with a Brabus Bullit or Rocket.

ZR1 and SL65 BS, who gonna win ?

ItalianStallion

There is definitely dealer markups...same thing happened when the Z06 first came out. The Shelby GT500 has been marked up forever and the used Ford GT is still going for $150,000. I think the normal markup for this car is in between $15,000-50,000. The Nissan GT-R is also about $20,000 over sticker. It's the price you have to pay to have the first one on the block.

Jakpro1

I think the ZR1 will be the 1970 ZL1 all over again. It'll be the end of an era.

With global warmers and high oil prices right now, this should about do it for hp and this car will go down as the pinnacle of the 2003-2009 hp wars for GM.

Just can't imagine them raising the stakes any higher than this.

I can't even believe some of you guys actually are going to be ABLE to get one. You know every dealer owner in the US is gonna get first dibs on them.

Surprised if many make it to average Joes.

Here's hopin.

ha ha i said the same thing to him, he just smile

phatmitzu

ZR1?

I want one.

psuball1

I wonder if the ZR1 motor will eventually end up in the new Camaro?

tracshun

Anyone have the website for the "official numbers", since it does not appear to be on the "official site"?

Digitalcorvettes and autoblog, I believe, have the press release info.

looks cool, but for the price id settle for a clk63AMG BS.

id take the slightly slower but IMO more exclusive and better looking car.

Hammer Down

So you know what that means it's a mid to high 10 second car with a good driver and with a "Ranger" type of a driver it (could be) a high 9 second car.
