:hurray: hell yeah!

 

Too bad they droped the displacement back down to 6.2L :lol:

 

620-650 hp. It didn't say the weight, but it should be very similar to the Z, which is around 3100 lbs. 4.7 lb/hp is pretty impressive for a production car with all the bells and whissles.

 

Wish I had one next to the seven.

Anyone want to buy a Porsche????:lol: :lol: Wow that vette looks awesome!!! Looks like it will give most 4 banger sevens a severe beating. Think you can still take this one Mazda?

In the quarter, I have a good shot... after 150, hell no. autox, probably. Road racing, probably not... aero is not my friend (nor do I have the brass balls it takes to push my car that fast)

I love it , a supercharged, intercooled 100hp/liter pushrod engine.... those guys at Chevrolet cqn really create awesome engines. The Ferraris and Lambos will have to hide in the grass when the ZR-1 comes by.

 

My plan for acquiring a ZR-1 is based heavily on lottery tickets.

The press release said curb weight is approximately 3350 lb. Actual weight usually comes in higher than curb weight.

 

I have a feeling that the actual HP and torque numbers will be higher than the "at least 100 hp per liter" in the release.

 

IMHO the car has a Hot Wheels look, although I still want one.

i'm not a big fan of the opening in the hood, just to see a plastic engine cover. rumors on the interweb are that the engine is underrated, and even if it's not, it's not hard to crank up a few ponies by playing with pullies.

 

There is a guy around here that has a current generation Z06 - ALL black, including the wheels, and LOWERED. Seeing that sucker coming at you in the rear view mirror gets your attention!
