Word has it from a fellow member of the Cape Kennedy Corvette Club, of his acceptance in purchasing the ever secretive new Corvette on steroids...:hehehe: :cool:

The official, unofficial word, :hehehe: is this vehicle will be known as the -- ZR1 -- ! :yesnod: :crazy03:

Yep, from the sounds of it, the beast is back. Its reputed to have 650 HP as promised and will set this member back a whopping $99,900! He is hoping to receive a serial number lower than 10 since he was one of the very first to sign up for this car. He also mentioned only 1500 will be produced...for the year I would suppose. If I heard him right, the vehicle may be intercooled and turbo'ed.

Who knows really...:shrug01:...he was just accepted to receive one of these cars just last week as I understand it...I'm thinking his excitement may have caused a selective memory laspe...:hehehe:

Production I would also assume begins in March of '08 as with the rest of the 2009 model year that reportedly begins then.

More to come as I learn about this!:thumbsup:
 
Would love to have one.....but not in the budget. We have a 1,000 RWHP twin turbo 2004 Z06 here for sale.:thumbsup:
 
Yeah..... I'm thinking buying a C6 Z06 that people are going to be dumping to buy the *new* toy, and then sinking half the difference in price into performance mods may be a better ticket to play. :hehehe:

For that kind of money, I'd really need to see something more than just a LS7 with a supercharger or turbo charge slapped on it.

$100K is not chump change, at least not to me. I would have to sell a fair chunk of my gun collection to have that kind of play money to spend..... :D

If you go to the CF site it is in "my vette pictures" under my avatar. Ms Antivenom may post them here....I don't know how.

The customer has over $100k in the build (including the car) and drove it 1 weekend and realized it was way more car than he imangined. He will sell it for less than $70k, and only put 500 miles on it since the build.

Stop in the shop to see it in person.:thumbsup:
 
Its my understanding the official designator to the upcoming 650 HP, Blue Devil :rolling: will be officially known as the ZR1!!

The engine will be a 6.2 LS-9 and supercharged.

The ZR1 made an appearance at the C6.R's race event at Laguna Seca. Driver Johnny O'Connell made two laps.
