[Breecher_7]

Chicago auto show had one as well.......

[wrath]

Did they open the hood? Rumor is that none of the ones on display have a supercharged motor in them.

The one at the chicago show had a blower, it was a complete and running car.

[Z06 KID]

[Poncho]

Who would pick a Skyline over this?

[0TransAm0]

Some cluessless nub named Nick. :rolf :goof :asshole

You are correct sir

Great pics JP! :thumbsup

[ffvetteman]

They did not open the hood, but they had 2 there I was told. The other one was a red one but was out on a drive when I was at this one. Problem is there was sooo much to do and look at, that I never got back to see the other one.

Would be a tough choice for me.:thumbsup

[brewcity_mach1]

very hot pic. the blue one at the chicago auto show.. and the grey one! looks nice!

[Z06 KID]

Who would pick a Skyline over this?

that would never happen.the zr1 has an overall better look and a longer reputation. id haveta stick to the vette

also happy birthday to the corvette

[T-Bag]

Mother of God

[scaleracer]

Looks good! I wrote a report a couple years back for school aboutt hem never making a corvette with a blower on it off the showroom floor (as i know at least) Glad to finally see one made! :shades What's the price tag $80,000??

[Z06 KID]

$110,000 from what i last saw

[scaleracer]

$110,000 from what i last saw

Holy Sh!t! It's nice but not that nice... I guess if I had that kinda extra money i might get it..

[Z06 KID]

thats american muscle now days it dont come cheap. a nice z06 is close to 80 grand and this is putting out a hundred and fifteen more horses so its logical i guess...the only people that buy these anyways are those with a decent amount of money saved up

true i guess i'd rather buy a bunch of 10 second and faster street cars...

Thanks Nan, your right, i would pick one over this.

Uhm Overall better look? thats an opinion dude,

and Longer rep? Uhm IIRC ZR-1's came out in 1990? GT-R's have been around ALOT longer then that.

Hell Skylines have been around since 1957.

[Fast SVT]

more I see it the more it really does have a supercar feel.

Z06 keeps up with lambo's, can't imagine what the ZR-1 will do being lighter and more powerful.

[xxsn0blindxx]

Who would pick a Skyline over this?

Somebody who doesn't want to spend $20k more. Skyline is priced in line with the Z06 and Viper.

At $110k the ZR1's closer competition will be the likes of:

Porsche GT3

Aston Martin V8 Vantage

Maserati Gran Turismo

All of which make compelling arguments.

[Karps TA]

I would take anyone of those 4 before the ZR1.

[CannotPost]

I would take anyone of those 4 before the ZR1.

I would add the Z06 to the list of cars I would take BEFORE the ZR1. :alcoholic

too bad i was talking about the corvettes rep, not the zr1
and by looks, meaning body lines not extras

[flyin_blue_egg]

Would be a tough choice for me.:thumbsup

that's kind of what i was thinking.....to me you really can't compare these two cars, yes they both can be considered "supercars" but to me the skyline is more of a road race car while the vette is more of a straight line type car

[xxsn0blindxx]

EDIT: edit feature made a double post

Yeah except that it's not :chair:

Corvette ZR1 Laps Nurburgring In 7:26.4 (http://jalopnik.com/397308/corvette-zr1-laps-nurburgring-in-7264)

Just because it uhh-merikun and has a metric sh1t ton of horsepower does not mean it is only good for going in a straight line. Granted, the Nurburgring track is a high speed course and the ZR1 probably wouldn't fair so well around a track like Suzuka, it is still an extremely competent road race car, to say otherwise shows blatant ignorance.

I love the new ZR1. I would love to have one of those. And then one of these as my daily:

[Chalky]

I was @ Bloomington Thursday. I thought the ZR1 looked great and I don't care for the grays normally.

Car is actually heavier than the C6 Z06 by about 200 lbs but doesn't seem to be an obstacle. :thumbsup

Me, I'd kill for the brakes. Just don't know if I could afford to replace rotors/pads.

[stealthy1ss]

I was there on Sunday and it rained. Here are the pics that I took of the ZR-1.

Apparently you have never driven a Vette.

Was the red car there Sunday??

I didnt get a chance to go back and look for it Saturday.

good call :thumbsup

[88Nightmare]

yup, that ZR1 is definitely gorgeous :drool:

[Poncho]

I can just look at it all day long. I've always liked Corvettes, but they never really did it for me, until this generation.
