I was at the Indy Bash this weekend and managed to snap of few pics of the car before I drooled all over it!!! That has got to be the sweetest production built car I have ever seen! The car is just perfect! Here are a few pics.

I wonder if my engine is in it?

Next time look to see if there's an X painted in orange on the back of the supercharger :)

Love that color...

We had a black one here at the dealer last week. Pure sex on wheels I say, pure sex on wheels.


After I saw it I thought about ZR1 brakes for my malibu... Then I saw a list price of $1695.00 per rotor!.... I think Z06 brakes will be just fine.

Boinnngggggg! I've been in love since seeing it a Carlisle.

Yeah I have looked at em. I thought I might try to get one. Then I saw the sticker and man that is a lot but for a Lambo/Porshe/Ferari you name it American Ass Kicking Machine it would probably be worth it, so I called around and found a dealer that was getting one. 25,000 over sticker will get you on the list to get one. :hah: Ha thats funny Ill find someone that will sell it for sticker. The next call the guy says man if you can get it for 25 over go ahead I am getting 50,000 :wedgie: so I guess I wont be getting a ZR1 anytime soon. Anyways sweet ride for those people that have won the lottery or have much higher paying careers than i do. Guess Ill wait till production really cranks up and see if the price comes down some like it did with the Z06 that everyone over paid for in the beginning..

I didn't get any engine shots. I got there after the rain and they had already closed the hood. Bummer for me as I would have loved to had seen the engine bay.

Here is a link to all the ZR1 pics, with some more of my favorties below.

Thats what i said :rotfl: owell

Thanks for the pics. First one I've seen without chrome wheels. It looks better with silver wheels, less blingy. That cyber gray color is my favorite on them.

I was reading Super Chevy and ZR1- serial 01 sold for well over 1 million.

[EFI69Cam]

The ZR1 is nice, but the best thing about it is the reduction it's caused in Z06 prices, 50k seems to be going price for a less than 10k 07.

OMG!! There's rain on it!! What a sin!!! If I owned that car, I'd find a way to park it next to my bed at night! Beautiful car!

Im in love.......

[70camaro406]

That truly is a car to strive for...and just think, the Z06 WAS my dream car. I'd still take either though.

[dropit69]

well i heard that someone from the board bought one ..gonna have to hit him up for some pics and feedback..

[silver69camaro]

I could do without the blue calipers, but love the rest of it!

It takes a very, very good driver to push that car to its limits.

I just picked up a used 06 z06 this summer and it's an animal, I can't imagine adding another 120-135hp to it; granted the zr1 is 200# heavier, but damn, the z06 is as fast or faster than my camaro in street trim and that's saying something. (and it gets 27mpg highway compared to 15-16 for the camaro!) If only they took kidneys on trade, I could have done the zr1!

DAN, you lucky bastid!! LOL

So are you bringing that to Carlisle next year? If so, when you get there, I call shotgun.:fingersx:

[Blown353]

It looks FAR better with the silver wheels compared to the chrome... and that gray is a very cool color.

[CamaroAJ]

there was one at the autocross last weekend that Karen Rafferty from GM was driving. there is a video on autoblog.com. it was just sick, less than .2 seconds slower than my C5 Z06 on race tires and she had the stock tires.
