There are plenty of threads about it already. Even threads about the first ZR1 sold on Barrett Jackson Auction for $1,000,000.

There are lots of threads on it. I'd bet there are a few about it in the Corvette Forum, and the $1,000,000 thread is in the General LSX Discussion Forum.

Yah but how many people can buy Ferraris. At 100K alot more people could get into one of those. I want them to pic a fight. Maybe Ferrari or Lambo will make a 100K car to compete!

No way. Ferrari and Lambo keep themselves exclusive. I mean, it might be a wise marketing decision, but that would lower their social class. Just like you don't see any new $15000 BMWs to compete with hyundais. BMW has an image to uphold. the 3-series is low enough on the totem pole.

These guys just opened a place, I think it's call Texas speed that sells cams for our cars.

All jokes aside, the ZR1 IS the shet.
