ZR1 in anyone's future?

[spiceman]

Yea, gotta have it.
Means selling my Mallett, but so it goes.
Gotta a few connections left at GM, plus my GM retirement, and time like most everything else, marches on.
Wife ain't happy, say's I don't need it and what's the reason for it she asked me.............Simple I replied.cause I want it, end of story.
Just one of those ANOTHER toy.
There's a bigger reason ya all, and don't be fooled............GM's got alot at stake. Racing has ALWAYS been behind the door's.....but especially at Corvette Engineering. Management know's win on Sunday, sell on Monday.
The competition has all but waved the White Flag against the Vette.
Surprising enough, GM has kept the IMSA Vette's out there racing with all Compition giving up. But, rest assured, their regrouping their effort's behind closed door's.
The ZR1 allow's GM to raise the bar even higher now with the production of the ZR1. Their not going to get caught with their pant's down, and if this frustrates Porsche, Ferrari, Aston Martin, Saleen and all other manufactures, all the better.
IS having a ZR1 worth that to me? You bet it is.

I can't even afford the $800 a month i pay on my 06 I'm sure it would cost around 2K a month for a ZR1. May have to sell my 06 a6 and get a junker.

Man, I hope that doesn't happen. Would hate to see you have to give up your vette.

I hope to hang on to it till i at least pay off the upside down amount. Just $800 kinda pushes it a little too much.

I am number 1 on two different dealers list. still dont know about the price and would like to have seen a greater difference in design

This is me not saying anything...lalalalala la la

It does seem that the "bang for the buck" leaves something to be desired on the new ZR-1. The "redesign" is not all that distinguishable, and I think everyone was expecting 650 HP or better. It appears some folks may rethink the decision to spend 100K (or more) on a new car when they could spend less for upgrading what they currently own. I don't know what Rich spent getting his car to the level of performance it's at now, but he's certainly in the ballpark to compete with a new ZR-1. I wonder how much the complete ZR-1 engine assembly will cost from a dealer?

[bluedevil1]

there is still so little info available on the LS9. Will we be able to put on a smaller pulley for more boost, will it utilize the same computer. For sure 100hp per liter is not really much.

I heard one went on Barret Jackson auction for just over a mil.... anyone able to confirm this? Was supposedly Sat night.....

[Ms. AntiVenom]

Ed C. Came over and showed us the one a b. jackson, I dont know how much it went for, I would like too!


Knowing Greg, he will put an LS9 in his nomad or something like that before the ZR1 even comes out, Im waiting...
