Craz1469, that's the funniest thing I've heard all week. Thank you! I'm laughn' my *** off. You know someone on this other forum said the vette will never be able to top the viper becuse of it's displacement capacity, but I've never heard of a motor over 500ci. making 10hp, and that's all your allowed in top fuel. So to say the viper will always be able to one up is wrong. Too bad it will be so damn expensive though. I got the old lady holdn' me at 50k on my next car. Women.

Awesome. ZR1 was my pic too. Way to go, GM. Thanks for giving us a car to dream about. thanks for giving us a trump card to lay against any other manufacturer in the whole world. 
Very lightly modded, I bet these cars will take anything in the world. Bone stock, I bet they'll give anything a good run at least.

if it wasnt for Zora Arkus Duntov.
im glad that the bottom end is finally forged,
now we should be able to get forged cranks, rods and pistons from GMPP
hope they make the forged bottom end a catalog item like the LSX block
and such.

I love the ZR1 name, hope this name sticks and they don't change it. My only wish for this car is that they do some cosmetic work to clearly differentiate it from the C6 and Z06. The original C4 ZR1 was wider than the regular Corvette, hopefully the ZR1 gets its own nose, updated headlights, and wider rearend with ZR1-only wheels. The most common complaint from current Z06 owners is that their cars do not stand out enough from the base model C6. I agree, since everyone always asked me if my base C6 was a Z06.

New engine in 09' and this s/c'ed engine may find itself in the CTS-V? I wonder what the new enigne is going to go into? The Camaro perhaps?
