Nice kill Ron. Great looking car. I've never seen a yellow ZR1. There is a black ZR1 around town. I know he would work me over, but I still want to play around a little and see just how bad they really are. My guess is VERY bad.

Great kill! It's too bad he wouldn't pull over so you could find out the full story on his mods. That's always cool to do.

Beautiful car. I know how hard a new Z06 pulls I can't imagine how hard your car pulls. Have yet to seen one in person, but still keeping my eyes peeled. Good hunting!

They only run 11.0 @ 130mph...give or take a few tenths and a few mph.
That's incredible for a stock car though. They run really hard with more
boost and some basic mods.

fastest stock et..=10.78

fastest stock mph=133 mph

Yea..id say they are pretty bad ***....

But im still a lil disapointed with GM opting for the supercharger over a 7.6 litre monster engine..I expect ford to stoop so low...But not CHEVY

As well the KB cobra rolled his eyes because he thought he was raceing a stock Z06..The ZR1 just looks to much like a vette...For a car that dosent have corvette any where in it's title and cost over 110K....

Good kill OP...A KB would be a good run for a stock ZR1...Good thing you had the mods

It looks like a vette because it is a vette?? Its the Corvette ZR1.....as opposed to the Z06, with a supercharged LS3 block engine, also known as the LS9. Umm what is not a Vette about this car?

I have never once heard it called the Chevy ZR1

For example http://image.automobilemag.com/f/mul...arter_view.jpg

notice the Corvette Flag on the car.....That puts "corvette" in the title does it not?

I agree with all you said, EXEPT the 'stoop low' part. I think having a blower ontop of a 7.6L is just as badass as a stock car able to run high 10s at 130+. BUt that's me.

He may not be familiar with corvettes. That's like saying a svt cobra looks too much like a mustang gt.

Maybe not familiar with Vetes, but to say a ZR1 isn't a Vette is like saying a Mustang is a GT not a Mustang Gt.

They certainly don't look all that different. 99% of the population
couldn't tell the difference between the two...just like with a ZR1.

Ya aside from the hood, the ZR1's look a lot like the Z06 and many would just think the ZR-1 was a suspension package or something, and that the Z06 is the fast one...
