Corvette ZR1: Your exotics are no longer safe.

[texan_idiot25]

-ALMS

Take the Corvette. Take its base 6.2L V8, and super charge the hell out of it with air to liquid intercoolers and a centrifugal supercharger.

650-700 hp. 0-60 in the 3.5-3.7 (or lower?) range. 200+ MPH. Carbon Ceramic brakes. More weight loss.

Drivetrain mules like this one, have been around. Last weekend a yellow one (up until now, its been the Blue Devil, and a Silver one) hit up Laguna Seca for some track time. The video that ALMS provided showed it ran roughly 1:39 around laguna. Just watch the massive speed this baby carries down the cork-screw.

Now, final specs have yet to be released, and since this is a performance mule, I doubt we will see the final look of the car for a while too. But the car has been in testing at the Nurb for years now, so unlike the Viper in some respects, this aught to hit the streets as one perfected beast. It is set to come out late next year as an '09 and slotted above the current Z06, which will still in production at the time.

holy ****! yeah, them exotics better be afraid, they should be very afraid! lol, its sick

Ah, yes.. But it's still a Chevy....

Supercharger? Yum...

But, seriously, it's still a chevy..

I think the Zero-to-60mph is just a bad number. Zero-to-100mph is much better. The first 60mph all depends on how good you are at shifting (unless it's electronic, but that's boring), but the extra 40mph even it out..

My Koenigsegg still kicks arse.

Oh, and it's still a Chevy.

[Stampedekid]

well personally i like the enzo, but i like vettes so thats why it caught my eye

[texan_idiot25]

Sweed, still being a Chevy is a good thing, since pretty much every single Swedish automaker has sold out to a company of another origin.

Enzo-bleh, not Ferrari's best looking car, by far... But this car aught to be Enzo *** Whooping Fast

Not Koenigsegg. And that's becuase the Swedish Gov. takes all their money, so it's not like they're not rich (they weren't to begin with) anymore.

They made too many of the Enzo for it to be a cool/rare car... And it looks fugly. I like the re-designed version some guy did though..

I'll take a Bio-Diseil, high milage, Saab Aero-X. You can't beat something made by Rocket Scientists and people that build Jets...

And we have TANK DRIFTING!!! TANK DRIFTING!!! TANK DRIFTING!!!

EDIT: No, seriously, I like the Corvettes. Of any American Car, I would take a Corvette.. They're kinda cool, kinda mean, but just kinda expensive.

[texan_idiot25]

Sweed... Saab is designed, and built at/with GM and GM parts. Saab isnt really Swedish any more, And Koenigsegg is one company. Time to move on

But tank drifting, ftw.

Now, enough about the silly sweeds.

[live4luck14]

dude that things like a veryon or sumtin like that except probably much much cheaper

[noturday]

sweeeet, umm ownage? i think so

[civic_guy]

THREAD TITLE COPIER!!

Anyways that's gonna be a mean machine. I hope they really differentiate this trim from the base and Z06 trim. Are there any concepts of the body yet? or even drawings to hint what direction they're going with this thing as far as looks go?

[texan_idiot25]

Civic_guy- I didnt copy, I was inspired.. Besides speculation drawings, nothing to point at the final product, look-wise. GM is keeping tight lips about it. Im betting that, for once, they wont leak the looks of the car until its ready to be unveiled, which is a nice change for once.

live4luck14-Guestimates put it at below 150k. Like the Z06, it will be a world beater for much less cash. The Z06 already competes and beats many super cars. This thing will be nuts.

You have absolutely no idea what a Veyron looks like, don't you?

How does the C6 even look close to a Veyron?

Sweed, tank drifting is for nubs... Real men drift F-18s:

**** nice car...

whats wrong with it being a chevy sweed? i wouldnt own anything but a GM product...well, im lying, i like toyota too...but still lol

[jimmythekid1]

My father in law might have some info on this I will ask him next time I see him if he knows any specs or has any pictures. He is a photographer for vette vues magazine. Don't get to excited he may not know any more about it then we do. But he had all the details on hte new Z06 before all the mags did so he might know something if he will let me, I will post the info for you guys.

this is a old article him and some friends did for GM hig performance magazine, his name is Dave Estes.

Yeah i know, I was just messin around I can't wait to see how this car looks. I've never been a fan of corvette's looks until the most recent model. I love the headlights instead of the flip-ups

I never said there's anything wrong with it.. It's just that it's a Chevy.
It's a joke.

yea !!

ricers be affraid also,if u see 1 of these in ur city, take alot of pics, and videos..

[redrkt]

we will see what it will do............when the NISMO edition Skyline GT-R comes out next year.
Considering that the new skyline already owns the vette and several other "Supercars" on the ring.

But it is nice looking.................for a vette.
