ZR1 Review

Not sure how many of y'all visit jalopnik, so, here it is:
2009 Corvette ZR1: First Drive

Sounds like the GT-R isn't even remotely competition...

BWAL · August 20th, 2008, 01:53 AM

that car is so fucking sick

BWAL · August 20th, 2008, 02:07 AM

i would seriously adopt a baby, take out a life insurance policy on it, then hire a hitman to kill it just so i could afford that car

gooberhead320 · August 20th, 2008, 02:09 AM

looks like the old corvettes and i like those looks. the new ones don't have enough curves to make it look aggressive

ReverendDexter · August 20th, 2008, 02:12 AM

lol, can't say as I would go that far, but it would certainly be my first choice assuming I had the money, and could get it for sticker. It truly shames the Ford GT.

BWAL · August 20th, 2008, 02:12 AM

i would walk to las vegas at a moment's notice with 1 dollar in my pocket in hopes of winning enough money from a slot machine to pay for that car

if Jesus was living, the ZR1 would definitely be on his christmas list

That car isnt that cool. Sure its fast as hell and would blow the doors off anything but still doesnt make me want it

I dont like corvettes and that looks no different than any other vette. There for someone who knew nothing about vettes would be like wow just another corvette.

A Viper on the other hand tho

Or Ford GT

BWAL · August 20th, 2008, 02:16 AM

oh shit, i just remembered!

in my pocket, i have the keys for 4 different banks that i work at, and the alarm codes for every one of them.

i'm gonna buy a ZR1!

Drick · August 20th, 2008, 02:22 AM

Same thing could be said for a Cobra. To someone who doesn't know anything about Mustangs, it's "just another Mustang".

The sleeper factor is actually something I like about it.

I'm not gonna defend it, and I'm certainly not going to buy one, but it's nice that one domestic company can make a world-beating car and then price it such that one of us has a slight glimmer of hope of owning one sometime down the road.

The Ford GT I used to really, really like, and I still love the looks of, but for $130k sticker, and $180k street price, it shouldn't have *any* issues outperforming with a car that sells for $70k (and $40k or less used). Between the GT and the new batch of Shelbys, Ford seems to be focusing more on selling image and nostalgia instead of honest performance ('00 Cobra R and Terminators excepted).

I was not talking performance to price statistics and all cause those where not defending my desicion. I was going by pure looks and for the it goes to the Ford GT and the Viper IMO
