New 09 ZR1 Engine shots?
http://jalopnik.com/photogallery/CorvetteSS/940962
I am looking forward to the car, but hood open on 09 ZR1 verses hood open on C4 ZR1 - C4 will win EVERY time.

Re: New 09 ZR1 Engine shots?
I am sure that the '09ZR1 has great performance numbers, but that engine compartment is not impressive. Maybe because it is a test mule? I hope the designers can get in there and clean that up. One of the things I enjoy about my ZR-1 is popping the hood and getting the WOW from people.

Those wheels look a bit like the 2nd gen Dymag wheels, except a lot bigger in diameter.
That engine looks a lot like it was installed upside down and we are seeing the oil pan. |

Bob, You hit it exactly! I couldn't put my finger on why it looked wrong.

Yea, for sure it does! I guess that's an intercooler + a Plenum?? If they would remote mount the coil packs like the Falconer it would clean up the valve covers....a bit....or put the covers back...somehow....there sure is alot of stuff going on in that bay. That is just a test mule, right?

Re: New 09 ZR1 Engine shots?
Relocate the coils, maybe a little engraving like ours have and a nice polish/powerdoat of some type. Make it look the part.
Maybe a textured black widow-ish finish with red script? I hear its supposed to be lighter than the C6Z..Anyone know by how much? |
