I think i'm in love.....LOL

The ZR1's basic stats:

All-new LS9 supercharged 6.2L V-8 targeted at producing at least 100 horsepower per liter, or 620 horsepower (462 kW), and approximately 595 lb.-ft. of torque (823 Nm)

- Six-speed, close-ratio, race-hardened manual transmission
- New, high-capacity dual-disc clutch
- Higher-capacity and specific-diameter axle half-shafts; enhanced torque tube
- Specific suspension tuning provides more than 1g cornering grip
- Twenty-spoke 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels
- Michelin Pilot Sport 2 tires -- P285/30ZR19 in front and P335/25ZR20 in the rear -- developed specifically for the ZR1
- Standard carbon-ceramic, drilled disc brake rotors -- 15.5-inch-diameter (394-mm) in the front and 15-inch-diameter (380-mm) in the rear
- Larger brake calipers with substantially increased pad area
- Standard Magnetic Selective Ride Control with track-level suspension
- Wider, carbon-fiber front fenders with ZR1-specific dual vents
- Carbon-fiber hood with a raised, polycarbonate window -- offering a view of the intercooler below it
- Carbon-fiber roof panel, roof bow, front fascia splitter and rocker moldings with clear-coated, exposed carbon-fiber weave
- ZR1-specific full-width rear spoiler with raised outboard sections
- Specific gauge cluster with boost gauge (also displayed on the head-up display) and 220-mph (370 km/h) speedometer readout
- Only two options: chrome wheels and a "luxury" package
- Curb weight of approximately 3,350 pounds (1,519 kg)

The specialized components of the new ZR1 work harmoniously to deliver the most powerful and fastest automobile ever produced by General Motors. Performance estimates will be announced closer to vehicle's summer 2008 launch.

I heard this also. So with that low a production #, I will be lucky if I ever see one.

So was 2008 the last ZO6?

That is a very good question

I thought I had read somewhere that they will continue to produce the Z06 along with the ZR1 as a sort of mid-level Vette, if you could call the Z06 mid-level.

I'm sure a few big name Chevy dealers will have 1 or 2 sitting in the showroom after release.

I was just reading about it today in the Feb issue of Motor Trend. I think they said they were gonna make 2000 per year? not 2000 ever? not really sure. they also mentioned the initial plans were to make it a twin turbo but decided to supercharge it when eaton introduced their 4 sided blower. the sail panel and roof supports are carbon fiber for weight reduction. 6 piston brakes in front, 4 in back. forgot rotor diameter.. they're estimating 620+hp and 600 ft lbs tq to the ground!!!! craziness

You're correct, GM is going to produce 2000 per year, and yes they are still going to produce the Z06. Will be interesting how many are going to be here and how many go overseas though ?

I am with you! some guys at work were talking about how the vette was a big piece of crap, and for 100k, they would rather get the SL65, then proceeded to say that the SL65 would spank it all day long. He drives a mitsubishi eclipse: enough said!

I want to see Top Gear get ahold of that thing. Good quality family programming there.
