I say a plus 2 on the KY with purchase of the ZR1.
The Vette (ZR1 or not) looks like pure sex (IMO). But, before seeing the ZR1, I was definitely expecting more of a physical difference. Howeverrrr the ZR1 is the first LS9 that Chevrolet has been ranting and raving about. (Even though it's just a Supercharged LS3....) I'm truly interested to see that. I'm really glad they didn't name it the Corvette SS Blue Demon.

What a horrible time to come out with a "gas-guzzlin, speed-demon." Next, they'll tell us that it requires 110-octane.

I like how this guy, Tom Wallace from the Chevrolet Vehicle line is asked why do a ZR1 and what does he respond with?
"Because we can. We have the technology inside General Motors to do a car that can go up against any supercar from around the world."

He said go up against, but didn't speak about being behind a few bus lengths.

All in All, holy fuck $103,300 is

Yeah @ 0-100 in 7 Seconds I dont think it will be bus lengths behind to much lol. ^^ Maybe that. And as far as gas guzzler? I remember going on a little run to Orlando not to long ago...ummm...and getting better gas mileage then most of the Hondas hehe. When it's always on the floor the gas mileage is out the door. It has a little something to do with American heritage as well. Some ppl just want American. Kinda Like a Harley (POS IMO BTW) it has a Mikuni Carbureator and Enkei wheels? yup ALL AMERICAN BABY.
LMAO

Funny how the CCXR is a little over 500lbs lighter than the ZR1. Also exceeds its hp by 380 and torque 136 more #s. Oh yeah did I mention 0-60mph in 3.2secs?

the zr1 is still a vette.... It's just a beast of a vette that looks awesome and performs even better. Of course there will be a few supercars that are faster but they wont be faster by much. SheWantsAKawi proved that point for me. that ccxr is lighter with 380 more HP and is only .2 seconds faster than the zr1's test time of 0-60 in 3.4. not to mention 400k more expensive and it being a one off car
