My buddy just picked up a ZR1 with the LS9 supercharged engine and a 6 gear. It has 638HP+ STOCK!

I got to go for a quick, and I mean QUICK spin around the block. I thought that I had driven/ridden in some fast cars. BLAH!!!! This car puts them all to shame! It was so fast! He didn't even floor it and I don't think we broke 4500rpm. It broke loose at about 50 in 4th or 5th - I can't remember, I was smiling too much. These things are amazing. I was shaking with excitement for about a half an hour.

It's good to have friends with fast cars.

Later,

Mike

WAY OUT OF MY LEAGUE

I just couldn't spend that much on a car that rapidly depreciates in value, but wish my friends would.

If you can afford it, your not worried about depreciation!

they definitely have a COOL factor.

American factory horsepower at it's best !...... :bowtieb:

Too cool, a buddy in Indiana used to bring by his hot rods for a spin, I sure miss that. He even loaned my 23 yr old son a 2006 ZR1 Vette to drive on his wedding day, it had 700 miles on it!!! Of course, I had to help him go pick it up. The only one he didn't let me drive was a Ford Gt because his insurance didn't cover other drivers.

I have a '00 Vette which is only 350 hp but as you know, they are no slouch. I can't even imagine a car as small and light as a Vette with that much power! All I can think of is: WHITE KNUCKLES!!!

I rode in a Z06 Vette last week. That was one sweet piece of machinery. One guy I know has a ZR1. I haven't ridden in that one though.

"And for only $100K you could have one too!!!"

The one I saw at a dealer last year was $119K.

As much as I like older cars, I have grown to appreciate what these new cars can do.

Mike, had a similar experience today in a Ford product. Buddy of mine had his supercharger replaced with twin turbo's, nasty to say the least. It broke the rear loose a couple times while shifting through the gears...... Too much torque on too cold a day for the tires to stick..

He wants some pinstripe accents added to the radius arms for the rear suspension that sit above the engine. Just happened to have the right color in stock...

My friend sold his GT about a year ago. Never got a ride in it. He went to a dealer in Michigan to get one. When he got to the dealer they asked where the car hauler was. He didn't have one, he drove it all the way back to the west coast! It must be nice...

At least you got to drive one. They sound like a hand full, too.

I have horsepower envy...

Later,

Mike

You aint kidding the new stuff is off the charts. GasCan just sent me to youtube to check out Nelson Racing CODE RED 24 valve snake motor 1000hp and a 2000hp 69 camaro attacks Malibu. They both ran like kittens till she laid her ears back and turned into a LION. Bad ass stuff!!! well worth checking out. I wanted to build a modern hot rod in 2006 so I built a Mustang cuz chevy didn't have a camaro out yet. I though I had something at 680hp boy am I behind the curve now a days. Todays project is a blown 55

 

[zr1john]

As much as I love driving my 55 the new stuff is the best of all worlds. I installed a Vortech supercharger on my 2002 Corvette. 525 HP @ the rear wheels and 28 MPG. If I really want to go crazy I'll jump in my 68 Pro Street Vette. All aluminum 632 CI. 816 HP and 814 FT. Lbs of torque on Pump Gas!

 

[doug_porsche]

got a ride in a ZR-1. I was sort of disappointed.

The car had too much power for the tire. Seemed that you could break the back end loose, or engage traction control, with just a push of gas at any time.

Sounds dumb but....
