First Look: 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 - By now you probably have noticed that the ZR1 looks like, well, a C6 Corvette. The silhouette is, of course, the same and the overall dimensions are essentially identical to a Z06. (more)

2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 V8: A Statement of Power - GM isn't just kidding around with the supercharged 620-horsepower V8 that's at the heart of the 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. (more)

First Drive: 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 - This ZR1 produces 638 hp — the equivalent of the power produced by the 405-hp 1995 Corvette ZR-1 (the "King of the Hill Corvette") plus a 1984 Corvette plus a 1968 Citroën 2CV. (more)

2009 Chevrolet Corvette Follow-Up Test and Video - Bottom Line: Beyond its amazing performance numbers, the Vette is a good value and offers surprising cargo space. It just takes some getting used to. (more)

Replying to: claires (Jan 02, 2008 10:32 pm) about the ZR1? Ummm, I dunno. If it were priced at or around $250,000, would it be worth it? Tough call, IMHO...

Confused...The ZR1 is going to be around $100,000 and put out about 625+ horses. Seeing as this is a ZR1 thread. Let's talk about the LS9!! not the LS7. The LS9 is basically the greatest work of art ever accomplished by an artist. It will dominate all areas of racing without competition from American/Euro/Imports.

Replying to: clevetron (Feb 22, 2008 6:39 am) As a supercar, it seems the ZR1 is going to be amazing, but as a race engine, the LS9 is boosted. What racing series uses boosted engines? Not ALMS and to tell the truth I don't much follow the technical side but seems normal asperation is just want the race guys want, it lasts. I'm not expecting to see the LS9 on tracks much.

Replying to: starrow68 (Feb 24, 2008 7:37 am) Here is a video clip showing a ZR1 at the track: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLBLWs4agkk&feature=user I think its exhaust note is one of the finest I've ever heard. It appears to drown out any noise coming from the supercharger. Also, be sure to read some of the comments posted below it. Some of them are hilarious!
