2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 unveiled



I love how there are more carbon fiber accents. The C6 Z06 has some CF but you can't tell by looking at it. The exposed carbon on the splitter and such are great. Not a fan of that hood "window" though. Plus they are about 10 years too late. Corvette motors stopped looking good in the mid 90's.
 
That's a hot car. I sure would love to see what GM could do with America's theme of "bigger is better" and stuff a 6 liter in there that was a DOHC/4VPC. I know they want to stay true and keep the push rod, but that is so far behind the times.
 
Looks good for a Corvette (sorry... Import fan, but i am impressed). Didnt know the ZR1's were supercharged. Should be a beast.
 
DUDE i have a LS1 Powered Camaro SS



and my father has a z06





THIS CAR IS NOW MY DREAM CAR...6.2 Liter Supercharged

Yeah, I wish they could be more high tech like Ferrari or something. It's better to have 480hp and 16mpg economy than 505hp and 25mpg economy. I'm sure Chevy is embarrassed by that.

Chevrolet's 505 hp economy car!



I'll probably never be able to afford one (the lottery isn't working out like I had hoped ;) ) so on that note, I can hardly wait until I detail one. :bow
 
"there's no replacement for displacement" go pushrod V8 :usa:usa



GM is doing a good job on cars like this, i just hope they don't do a pooch job on the new camaro. they'll definitly do offer a loaded down verson, but i hope they offer a crank window, big motor, tire eater!! with glass packs!!
 
That is a sweet ride . They are 3 things that bigger rules :

Horse Power HP

Money

and Tits :grinno: :grinno: :grinno: :grinno:





Cheers , Jean Paul

..but way ahead of any of it's competition. (Personal experience demonstrates the 450+hp will delivered 23-27 mpg. Yes, Scott the best of both worlds - Honda mileage if desired or 0-60 in 3.6 with 1-2 mpg. :woot:)





Porsche tried to change their formula for success with the introduction of the 928 and 924/944 series in the 80's. Thankfully, they realized the mistake and return to their original plan and have not diverge from this path (excluding SUV) since.



I see no reason for GM to follow the beat of another drummer when their present plan is true to their past and success. :hifive:
 
The only thing I wish GM would do is make their interior scream $100K car. I still hate the interior on these things. Too plain for my taste and I'd like to see at least a momo style steering wheel.



Put I do like the car.



However, for the price I think I would of liked to have a Ford GT better.

yet the pushrod design allows for fewer engine parts, a compact design (the LS series engine is very small and lightweight), heads that flow great, and responds very well to mods, but it is behind the times?



You need to do some research.
