It's a 620 horsepower 6.2 liter. Did you think it would sound like a Geo?

not a big fan of the sound. IT was OK at best it was like a mix between a diesel truck and a cris craft boat.

:rolf haters, the thing probably wasn't even rev'd past 2,500. :rolleyes: plus we all know neutral revs sound waaay different then the engine under load.

That's just a rich mix pop kuz there no load on the engine... damn haterz :banana1: I cant believe how smooth it is at idle. Wait till the aftermarket boys get ahold of that puppy. I bet it goes 700+ hp with a cam pulley and tune. Let the modern musclecar wars beginnnnnnnnnnn :headbang

700 hp will be EASY with a cam pulley and tune.

And this is pretty much the end of the muscle car wars, imo. I think it's 1968 all over again.

Bulshit. A Chris craft sounds waaaay better than that.

100hp/liter is not alot anymore. S2000s don't make popping sounds.


Something makes me think that the camera used does not record very low frequencies very well.

It's boosted from the factory. ie: running rich.

I was never HATING on the car. Obviously the performance will be amazing.

I just dont like the way it sounds.

Like it matters anyway, Im willing to wager you wont touch one for under 130k.

I dunno with It's price tag and rarity I doubt many will mod a ZR1 at all.

It's aftermarket will be limited to a couple floormats and some more badges.... Corvette guys love their corvette badges. :banana1:

I am so happy that rich people have another toy to choose from. That's so much cooler then making a great car that I could afford. Hopefully this drives other car mfg's to realize that the marketplace on great cars is really only over $100K. Maybe the trickle down effect will allow me to buy a clear hood for a Cobalt?

Yeah, this is only going to push the price of the next Viper up even more.

I think the Viper is dead from what I remember.

I just don't see the point of getting overly excited about a car 99% of us here will never own. I don't even really understand why GM is even doing it. The Z06 is already a flagship car.

I see the breakdown of ZR1 buyers as
10% people actually able to use and will use the car to it's potential
40% people who will buy them and stick them in plastic bags as collector items
50% people who have tried Enzyte and it still didn't give them they schlong they desired. These guys will likely kill themselves and others while showing off.

But I don't get excited when Ferrari or Lambo release new expensive cars either. I tend to get more excited over stuff under $35K
