200 MPH 625 H.P. 2009 Corvette ZR1!!!

[kombu_kid]

Look out, here comes the 2009 Corvette ZR1. The first forced induction 'Vette does 11.0 in the quarter mile and top out at around 200 MPH. Expect to pay over 100K for it, except there'll probably be some wild dealer markups on the price. Check out the brakes too......those rotors are like pizza pans!!

I still look at Corvettes as "old man" cars.....the "gold chain" crowd....but this one is a world-class supercar. Look out Porsche, Ferrari, Saleen, Lambo, Viper and......Skyline.

With so many cars nowadays pushing over 400~600 H.P., these are the good old days!!:first:

Ok..it was a week ago, but I couldn't resist saying last year! :D

That is a great looking car, and powerful...but I'm not in the market for that!

This more fits my price range, and at 70mpg it pays for itself quick!

That's better! Now I don't feel so dumb about posting this thread.......PChan's thread IS a year-old!!

I'd love to get my hands on one of those ZR1s but the markup would be outrageous! I'll have to wait until I'm old and gray, and I'd probably have to settle for the base model.
