Don't expect it to be sold in America. If GM sells cars outside of America the Emissions laws have no effect. Hence the ZR1 can have a waiting list of 100+ people outside the US and GM will be happy to make it a not pass emissions.

Alt asked for pics of the engine and proof that the sledgehammer went 255mph. Then waldershrek gave a link of pics of the new ZR1. I was just clearning up that he wanted pics of the sledgehammer not the ZR1. Personally I know what the Sledgehammer looks like and dont think theres anyway it went 255. I think on paper it has the power to weight, n gearing to get to 255, but stability wouldnt be there in my opinon.
Back on topic the ZR-1 will be a total BAMF

yeah I was just saying that when he said try a search it still applied to either car. I didn't remember hearing of a vette called the sledgehammer and it took me literally 30 seconds to find pictures and writing about it.

Also, on a side note, the new ZR1 will make it to production. It will not have problems passing emmisions. The new CAFE laws don't take effect until 2020.

Yea the new ZR1 is a badass car but im not that impressed. Personally if I had the cash and wanted to get a new vette id go with the estimated 40k cheeper ZO6. Then id take half the cash i saved, mod the ZO6 (procharger, full exhaust, ect) and eatup the ZR1. Dont get me wrong the ZR1s sweet, just not for me. I know with a factory supercharger it will be easy to get more out of the ZR1, but has anyone seen the brakes on this thing?????? Nice brakes, they say the pad size is twice that of the ZO6. Sweet huhh?? The same brakes that stop the Bugatti Veyron and the Ferrari FFX. But wait what happens when you need to swap out those carbon-ceramic rotors and pads?? Better go take out a small loan. I know that if you have the cash to drop on a new ZR1 money is problaby not to scarce for you, but anyone wanna take a stab @ the cost of these pads and rotors??? Just my 2cents..
