ZR1 Revealed!
UGA: Everybody is laughing at us this year.
ddaaayyyyuummm!!!!!!!!!!!
Meh. So it'll be a fast car. Supercharged 6.2 liter V8. Huge brake discs. I'm...just not excited over it like I would be if Nissan would announce a new small 2-door RWD platform even if it had a naturally aspirated engine.
this car is the new god car, z06 = weaksos now lol
I still want a skyline.
not a huge fan of that rear end.... looks too bulky.... but everything else is pretty sharp.
I remember the 1990 ZR-1, My dad had the first one in Florida when they first came out (And paid dealer cost at that, he had connections) and MY GOD this by far blows ANY Vette ever made away. Supercharged at 620hp and a body that kills!! WOW!!!

holy sh*t, D*mn, Fire!
My money goes to the GTR
i just read some posts in there...it is true that to a untrained eye this will no look like a 100k vett. Performance wise...yea this will kick butt, but i'd rather take my 100k and put it towared a Ford GT.
This car will dominate all, the 15.5 Ferrari rotors tells me its all business.

F that.......a C4 ZR1 is one of my dream cars,id take it over this one..even though it is slower....how much were those old ZR1s,wernt they like130k?Originally Posted by Brett
they still go for over 60k
rumor from the top is that this will be the last of its breed with these new regulations on fuel ecomomy for 2011 & 2022
You can find them now in the 20's and 30's.
And have a slower, worse performing car with lots of bugs (or so I have heard).
Also, the article says that it will have at least 620HP, which leaves the possibility that there could be more ponies in store.

But then you're still getting trampled on by $70,000.00 Corvettes. If you're going to spend $100,000 at least buy a Porsche. Then you can at least get chicks will you're getting passed by Corvettes.
awww man....that thing is sweet. Everyone that says they would rather have a GTR is retarded....but thats just my opinion.
don't get me wrong...i am all for this car best bang for the buck. I will smoke lots of cars hands down, and if i was in for performance only....i'd pick this car in a heart beat, but if i am gonna be spending 100k i want some eye candy too a car that will look like 100k. I know average guy won't using it's 620+hp everytime he is gonna drive it. Ford gt will should easily satisfy my hunger.
Very true. I have been lucky enough to see a GT in person and I do have to say it is one of the baddest ass looking cars around.

that is exacly y id take a $90k SLK55 amg over the ZR1
seems like vett is playing the civic game....pump it up make it faster and cheaper than competition, it will be NICE, but in the end it's still a civic. Don't take my opinion in the wrong direction. Car's bad ass hands down.
lol @ gtr.
we'll see how this one does on the track.
what kill me tho, is this...
as quoted from leadfoot mf's post here:
corvette ZR1
lol thats right.... i'm caling you a reposter!
sunni i have to disagree with your opinion as you last stated... a civic was introduced as an econobox. a vette was introduced as a sports car. it's known as a fast car from the factory, not a car people TRY to make fast, thus giving it a different legacy. lol i totally agree with you on "lol its still a civic" but "its still just a vette" somehow doesnt arise the same laughter
crazy

lol as i said...if i was getting a car for performance...then forget GT...i'd pick Zr1 in a heart beat. If i ever buy a Porsche new, it would be something rare. Other than that Used 996 Turbo FTW....not new because they don't hold their value for shiit. Man you crazy...i'd toss a chick outta my car if i am running a ZR1 by simply saying "Sorry you are just extra weight." lolBut then you're still getting trampled on by $70,000.00 Corvettes. If you're going to spend $100,000 at least buy a Porsche. Then you can at least get chicks will you're getting passed by Corvettes.
i know it's still a vette...something still no civic can dream of being...not even Civette. I wasn't putting both cars in same category, rather i was just saying the idea sounds similar. Aite let me kill civic talk before a i get jumped on by a civic owner.
And it's Sunny
The GTR is a joke. But hey, it's not my money. I don't care if you spend $80k to go slower and look like a spaceship.
When all of you people that say "my money is in the GTR" actually buy one, let me know. I'll be gentle.
Edit: Corvettes still get plenty of female attention.
Why? The GTR performs almost as well as this and its about half of this price tag, which is gonna be upwards of $120k. Not saying this is not a sweet, well performing car or anything, but if i can get something that does almost the same thing for half price, i'll take it. Cause you will never see that $120k ever again in life, even if you bought it and let it sit in your garage for 50 yrs and only took it out when it was sunny between 70 and 90 degrees outside

i see what ur saying what ever u do its still a big american car,it will never be a lambo or porsche......just like a cobra is fast but its still a heavy ass stang
Let me know when you get yours and I will prove that a modded C5Z > GTR.
Skyline = FTW.
You are a ricer. Go back to your corner and talk about all the cars you would get over another.
i have to disagree with you as well, but in 2 parts. first the gtr has a base tag of right at 80g's. now you know full well that the dealers will jack the price up at least 15g's just because they can. the zr1 is looking right around the 100g's price tag. even if they jack it up by the same amount, your equasion of half the cost is inaccurate.
furthermore, if you're spending 80-95g's on a pure performance car because you want something that is going to destroy all else ont eh road, why wouldnt you spend the extra 5 g's to get something that will be faster/handle better?
just conversing. carry on.
Im with you on that one. TopGear did a thing on the C6 z06 and the guy says after taking it on a track test and a road test: " I see why this car is only $70,000" lol
Mainly cause it might not see a track much at all. Normal people who buy this car arent gonna take it to a track and beat up on it all the time everyday. Thats when street comfort come into play. That ZR1 will probably have none. especially with 335/20/20 rubber bands on the back, you are basically riding on wheels.
See below. Also, where have you seen that the price will be upwards of $120k?
The only thing I can really say that I dont like about top gear is that they always bash american cars. I dont remember them saying this though. I do know that Jeremy was flipping out at the fact that the c6 zo6 can do 0-170+ in 1 gear.
ZR1 is the car for that cost if wanted for that purpose.
