Yeah its cool to say "I own the world's first C6 ZR1" but like I said, I wouldnt spend that much money to be able to say that. Whatever floats his boat.
i think there is a good chance the car will be worth more then that in the future, its more of an investment then to say i own the first ..... Its the very first supercharged corvette produced, fastest corvette ever produced, will come in a one off color, etc.

i am awaiting the time for the ZR1 though...definitely should be in the 7:38 or better range

(sidenote: the 2009 GTR driven by nissan's test driver did 7:38 on stock runflats and a partially wet track)

oh and bench racing for the lose lol...

this thread has gone way off topic i think
the z06 is a better all around car IMO..

no power adder and still running 10.9's stock FTW!

and I agree bench racing FTL!!

its still a v8 tho, i mean a TWIN power adder 500hp v6 vs a 500hp NA v8... I'd take the NA V8 anyday, and I love turbo, but 500hp out of a v8 w/o a power adder is just good design...

The first "stock" C6 Z06s were running 11.5
Then they were running 11.2 "stock"
Now they're running 10.9 "stock"

Man, those guys sure learned how to knock off some times with that "stock" Z06.

They already get decent mileage for what they are. Im suprised GM hasnt added DOD to the vette motors. I can see them going to more carbon fiber and alumn parts to save weight and save gas before they start pulling power
