ZR-1 unleashed.....

GM let the ZR-1 out of it's cage at Laguna Seca last weekend...

http://www.digitalcorvettes.com/foru...ad.php?t=87585...photos

**************************car-videos/10...aguna-Seca.htm...video

if they leave the styling as is it's going to be a "sleeper" , by the time you figure out it's not a Z06 you're going to be watching it's tail lights really disappear in the distance..at 600+ HP and TQ and 3100 lbs. you're going have to spend alot of cash to get close to it....

A definite monster for sure. The tail will be a dead give away but it's not like I would even try to play with a standard Z06 anyways.

I absolutely love the shape of that Vette. If there is one thing that Chevy has gotten right w/ the newest incarnations of Vette's, it's the aesthetic appeal.

i guess that really depends on what platform you have to start with...i reckon it wouldn't cost me much



...good to see that GM is still finding ways to improve the Corvette even after releasing a supercar killer, a.k.a. the C6 Z06

Is the ZR-1 pretty much a track car for the road? Where would anyone use that power?

I've said it once, and I'll say it again.

This forum needs an orgasm smiley.

How good would that car look in black with the wheels in gunmetal?

That same question could be asked about any car above 300 horsepower.
