so i was driving to get my sister from the airport and a ZR1 passed me. at first i thought it was a regular vette when coming up in my rear view mirror but thought it was kinda wide looking, so i thought ok its a z06, well it gets next to me and i see the clear on the hood and saw the zr1 on the side. boy was that one sexy ride. so when did this start going on sale?

 

Saw one on the floor at the local car show, the window in the hood is a dead giveaway to the ZR-1.......

 

ya, couldn't see that in my rear view mirror, and when it got next to me the clear part of the hood looked alot punier than the photo's showed it. i kept thinking zr1 in the back of my mind but didn't think they had been released yet

 

They've been out for about 6 months now. I got to drive and detail one in the fall of last year. Very sexy car and a helluva lot fun to drive

 

Got to look at one at the autoshow in Omaha a few weeks back. Lets just say that I probably shoulda changed my pants afterwards. Fn SWEET cars.

 

I havent seen one locally yet but I dont think somebody would drive a $100k+ car in snow and saly anyway.

C6 Corvettes are the only Chevy's Id buy but theyre way out of my pocket change price range.

 

Lol my Neighbor has a SL65 covered in road salt and he parks it in his garage.. And I saw a Z06 last week with the back window and roof still covered with snow and ice. I guess people just dont care any more.

 

I rode in my buddies Z06 a few months ago.. i can't even imagine 100 more hp in a car on the road.. awesome car

 

isn't it a 145 more hp? z06 has 505, zr1 has 650 i thought and weighs less

 

The zr1 weighs a few hundred pounds more.

 

seriously? i know the charger adds weight, but didn't they use carbon fiber body panels and lighter components

 

140 lb difference according to Car and Driver

I got to see some testing with these this past summer at the GM proving grounds. They are wicked!! Also got to park next to several while up in Detroit at work.
