I can't wait to see this thing on the street.]]>Jan 12th 2008 3:16PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/12/video-corvette-zr1-track-attack/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/12/video-corvette-zr1-track-attack/
On the first lap around I was bummed they didn't seem to be pushing the handling much. They corrected this in the 2nd run.

Looks amazing.

Note the one they have on the track doesn't have a hood window...]]>Jan 12th 2008 3:16PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/12/video-corvette-zr1-track-attack/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/12/video-corvette-zr1-track-attack/

The dealers are going to want 25-30k over the sticker. I own a Z51 & I love it but let's say the ZR1 costs in the neighborhood of $115-$120k.That's a lot of cheese esp. for a Vette. I would rather bite the bullet and spend a little more money & get a Porsche 911 Turbo.]]>Jan 12th 2008 4:00PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/12/video-corvette-zr1-track-attack/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/12/video-corvette-zr1-track-attack/Jan 12th 2008 4:49PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/12/video-corvette-zr1-track-attack/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/12/video-corvette-zr1-track-attack/Jan 12th 2008 5:07PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/12/video-corvette-zr1-track-attack/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/12/video-corvette-zr1-track-attack/Jan 12th 2008 5:49PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/12/video-corvette-zr1-track-attack/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/12/video-corvette-zr1-track-attack/Jan 12th 2008 4:10PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/12/video-corvette-zr1-track-attack/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/12/video-corvette-zr1-track-attack/
and a rip off for GM plastic and archaic technology. ]]>Jan 12th 2008 4:56PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/12/video-corvette-zr1-track-attack/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/12/video-corvette-zr1-track-attack/
Which technology is archaic though?
Twin screw supercharger that is one of the most recent developments in forced induction?
Magnetic-Rhreological shocks that GM also licensed to Ferrari?
OHV valvetrain which is roughly 50 years newer than the OHC valvetrain used in many cars?
Carbon Ceramic rotors that are larger than those on the Ferrari Enzo?
Carbon fiber bodywork?
Dry sump oiling?

I can't wait to see the performance numbers this car lays down... ]]>Jan 12th 2008 6:11PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/12/video-corvette-zr1-track-attack/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/12/video-corvette-zr1-track-attack/
Don't forget it has a heads-up display, well at least the Z06 does, I'm sure this does too.]]>Jan 12th 2008 7:00PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/12/video-corvette-zr1-track-attack/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/12/video-corvette-zr1-track-attack/What I simply said was........It the price was around the same........I'd take the Porsche & if the ZR1 was faster then an F430 or a 599 I'd still choose the Ferrari. What are you gonna do.....that's just my opinion. If you'd take the ZR1, good luck...enjoy.]]>Jan 12th 2008 5:58PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/12/video-corvette-zr1-track-attack/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/12/video-corvette-zr1-track-attack/
Anyways, What I understand from your post is that you really dont care how a car performs or handles, but just how it looks or what other people think about it. Also that you want the porsche cause its 0-60's rather than its track abilities which I think is also absurd. There are plenty of other cars you can have that can go quicker for cheaper.

I think you need to stop hating on such an amazing car. As a die hard porsche fan, i accept that this thing is a monster. All the engines that they put in C6,Z06, and ZR1 are pretty amazing. take a look at what an achievement this car is rather then making dumb comments.]]>Jan 12th 2008 6:43PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/12/video-corvette-zr1-track-attack/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/12/video-corvette-zr1-track-attack/To me, the way I drive 0-60 times are more important than track times or g-force.

The vettei still screams poor trailer trash with big HP and fancy off the shelf carbon fiber add-ons.

It's like a honda civic with mods in my book.

Take a page out of Mercedes Mclaren SLR , bruit force power with luxury,style, and class.

The SLR has ridiculous styling, is rather heavy and is an automatic. No thanks.]]>Jan 12th 2008 7:02PM
