Not a lot I don't like about it. I think showing off the goofy plastic engine cover through a plexiglass window in the hood is kind of lame, but that's about the worst of it. Maybe if they were showing off the engine, and not a plastic cover, it might be cool. But plastic covers are lame, regardless of which engine's stats they have written on them.

Corvettes are sweet. ZR-1 Corvettes are even better.

The new ones turned the old one into wife-beater vettes. I would rather be caught in an 84 than an 96 but i would rather be an 72. Bumpers are the best

I think I'd rather have a Z06it's more of a track car than the ZR-1 is shaping up to be. the magnetic shocks are neat **** though.... gimme the LS7 in a notch back C3 any day though 
"Now you may ask if I regret it, if I would do it differently if I could, if I would take it back. NOT A CHANCE!!!!! I went for it. I put it all on the line. I always will. I knew what the consequences would be if I failed, and I was willing to accept them. So any of you reading who might be feeling a twinge of sympathy, don't. I made my decisions, and I accept the consequences. I'm no victim. And to those who are thinking about preaching at me, don't bother. I won't hear you. I haven't accomplished anything in this life worth remembering by playing it safe. That's boring to me anyway." – Evan Tanner, 2007

I think its way too expensive for what it is. $100K for a corvette is just ridiculous in my opinion. I would get a regular C6 for 40k and get a twin-turbo on it for 15k installed, which would put me way ahead than ZR1 in terms of hp for half the price.

Please tell me you aren't serious or you miss typed that. No car in the world can lap the Ring in that time. It's something like 10 miles long if I am not mistaken.

i love it. i've always loved vettes. my whole life. i wish the first forced induction vette would have been turbo though. but that probably would have been a lot more $$$$. my love for vettes may have started when i got a ride in my uncle's blue C4 when i was 4 or 5. he still has it. and a couple years ago my dad picked up a red C5. love 'em .

There's more to the ZR-1 than just more power.

the ZR1 is cool and all but I'd rather spend 60-70K for a new C6 Z06 and put 20k into it and have much faster sleeker looking car...

Yes the new ZR-1 has a lot of power and got good looks too. I really like them a lot. just my 2 cents.
