2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1

I'll admit right now that I am a Honda guy. I've driven all kinds of other cars, and other than my dad's old GMC Diablo, I just have not been impressed. That said, I have a thing for Corvettes. I know a lot of people like to talk about how they are overrated, too expensive, or a sign of a midlife crisis. While the latter may be true, to the former, I don't say a word...


I like to let the pictures do the talking, and if these don't change your mind, nothing will. Chevy is re-introducing the ZR1 late in the model year (It was recently produced from 1990 to 1995). The ZR1 boasts a 6.2L V8 with a ridiculous 638 horsepower and 604 lb/ft of torque. According to the New York Times, the ZR1's 0-60 time is even faster than the Ferrari Enzo! What's more, the car actually hits 20 mpg on the highway ("Hey! You spilled your gas mileage on my sports car!" - my first thought). Inside Line has a video that compares Nissan's GT-R to the Chevy's Corvette ZR1.
