The thing is downright scary in its acceleration....an absolute monster. It looks even better in person, and the wheels could be the best design on a production car ever. Money well spent...
Scott, from the performance tab on the chevrolet site - * With its 600+ horsepower LS9 supercharged V8, ZR1 is capable of 200+ mph on the test track
That is my favorite Vette to date! Can't wait to see what the other automakers do to try and compete... I so want to see the new ZR1 and Skyline on the TRACK!!!!!

Yeah, but how much over 200mph? There quite a few videos on Youtube with guys topping out their ZO6's, so it's only a matter of time before we see what this beast can do.
that thing is friggin schweeeet! I cant wait for gmpp to roll out the ls9 crate engine.

Project EARTHQUAKE:
72 Nova SS, Plans have changed a little:artmorrison front subframe, and rear 3 link, pretty much stock ls1 and six speed with a single turbo for around 550hp. with a few other things mixed in.
current cruiser: "The green machine"
'70 Impala 4drht, 26K original miles, 2" drop springs and large swaybars, drives pretty good for a land yahct
and why do we modify everything...."BECAUSE STOCK SUCKS"
Everybody that I have shown this to has called other people over to look at it. Just a little bit ago we had 15 people trying to look at the same 17" monitor, all drooling .
Actually...Those exact same brakes are a $20,000 option on a Ferrari 599 (According to the Corvette Chief Engineer) 15" out back, and 15.5 up front..Carbon-Ceramic....and here is another interesting quote from the Detroit Free Press...
"It took years to develop the clearcoat for the carbon-fiber because sunlight degrades the material over time. The coating, which only the ZR1 has, uses a special additive to prevent that. The additive alone costs $60,000 a gallon, while the mixture of clearcoat and additive applied to the roof costs $2,200 a gallon."
100K is a bargain...of course, they will probably be selling for 200K+
