New ZR1

[MickeyD]

I have the fever for a 2013 ZR1. Been looking hard at a black one. Anyone here have a new one and can tell me their experience? Trying to show restraint but dear wife says "go ahead.". She's not helping!

[rhipsher]

Then what in the hell are you waiting for?

[MickeyD]

Your right. Hard to pull trigger. No dealership will let you test drive, so looking for experiences here.

[rhipsher]

Ok I'll give you one. They're awesome. And thats just all there is to it. I have three friends who have the and one let me take his for a spin. You'd have to get an LPE 415 to beat it. But if ypu can afford a 2013C6 ZR1 then you can probably afford to send it to LPE and nothing will touch it.

True. Just torques my a** that I can't drive one. Then there's the whole Obamamobile subject but that's a whole other topic. LOL! Thanks

What's an "Obamamobile"?

[Blue Flame Restorations]

If I was a serious buyer and a dealer would not let me test drive it with a salesman.....I'd smile and walk out the door with my checkbook in hand.

Gov't owns GM. Just a ha ha. Didn't mean to get political.

Easy. That would be the Chevy Volt!!

There are other failures in the lineup, but the VOLT is a prime example of the Obama administration's forcing a huge "green" looser onto GMs books; just another torpedo in the side of the GM's ship that is already taking on water.

According to David Menzies for MSN Autos, in order for the taxpayers to break even, the 26% of the shares we own would have to be at the $53/share level. However, last week it closed at approx $20/share, and GMs stock is still slipping.

People have written books describing what went wrong with GM, but the Chevy Volt and the administrations role in forcing it down GM's (that would be our) throat deserves a chapter all by itself.

Bottom line: We all as taxpayers have an vested interest in GM's success. But, as taxpayers, are we going to throw more money at it, or should it go into bankruptcy in order to reorgainize and perhaps survive. Many think that is what should have been allowed to happen in the first place. Who knows...maybe GM would be pulling itself from it's ashes by now? I'd be willing to bet a ham sandwich the VOLT wouldn't be in the portfolio!

I hope GM survives, preferably on its own. I'd like to think I could look forward to driving a new ZR1, and maybe even see a mid-engine, 32 valve DOHC Corvette someday. (Well, I can dream, can't I??)

pure bs.
The Volt was in development years before Obama. And would have come out even if the wretched old senator for AZ would have won.
What crap.
Might as well blame Obama for global warming while you're at it. And hey why hasn't he (Obama) cleaned up the Ozone layer problem. What's his problem anyway? He's had four years.
