Yes, but that WAS a production car, granted a limited production but still road legal. The guy said himself it was supposed to have been destroyed

I'd buy it, it's the first Corvette SS, Blue Devil, supposed to be sick. First LS9 V-8 that will make around 650 hp and the first forced-induction factory Vette that will use a supercharger and intercooler to force feed the 6.2-liter V-8. Yum.

If the ZR1's are going for 100k, i'm sure he'll buy another one that he will use as his "beater". 1 for show, 1 for go. otherwise he would get major blue balls, having a zr1 and not driving it whenever he wants.

Not to be typical, but I'd say only in a straight line and only if it had slicks, You would have to be Tony shumacher to be able to put the power down in first/second gear with out spinning uselesly...

Enzo would beat it at a track. I would bet the 430 Scuda would beat the ZR1 around a track also, but thats what its built for.

a bone stock z06 has ran a 10.9** on it's stock tires. I'm sure the zr1 will run a lil faster than a 10.8. I'm not sure how quick the enzo is at the 'Ring, but I bet it would be a close run with the zr1

dude, do watch autox?

oo and btw, most of the "super cars" aka lambo's, enzo's etc run low to mid 12's in the 1/4...... (from what ive read/saw)

and the vettes arent build for only straight lines anymore..
