Is the curb weight they listed correct? I was expecting a weight closer to 3100 lbs or so...

"Attached to the crankshaft is a set of titanium connecting rods and forged aluminum pistons, which, when combined with the cylinder heads, delivers a 9.1:1 compression ratio. This combination is extremely durable and lightweight, enabling the LS9’s high-rpm capability."

ladies and gents we finally have a fully forged FI motor

Hey I did pretty good with my Photoshopped ZR1 a while back in September, take a look at post 20 as it shows the side scoops I did, that ain't to bad.

Love the engine, love the brakes, love the BBV on the lid.

Any other BBV markings on it?

Other than that...it is fugly. Looks like pure rice...a bunch of fan boys must have designed it.

This thing is seriously ugly...yuck. I always love the classic sports car looks on Vettes...this one does not look like a Vette.

The C6Z is still king of the world in my heart!!!

I think I'd take a color other than Blue (blue is my favorite color, that one is a little too light for my tastes), but still a baddass car!! Looks like the GTR is gonna be old news really quick!

Looks like a race car to me, which is what the rice burners were impersonating in the first place.

I LOVE THIS CAR. THE SCOOPS MAKE MY PANTS HAPPY.

I don't care for the clear hood or CF roof (show car yes, production no) . THe blue is a little light IMO. The black is pure sex on wheels. Like the post above, the wheels look great on the black ZR1.

Has anybody heard of a price yet?
