How Many ZR-1s Do You Own - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

93RubyZ · 04-14-2007

As part of my research: http://www.zr1netregistry.com/forum/...ead.php?t=3159, I'll probably need this information.

I will be asking this question here and at CF, so for those that post at both places, please only reply at one location so I don't double count. Thanks!

If you answer (10 or more)

, please post how many you have?

I only have one, but it satisfies my need for speed!!

tomtom72 · 04-15-2007

Hey Bryan that ZO6 is naaaaaastey lookin'

Darth Vader vette!

WB9MCW · 04-15-2007

One and only one! But if I were a rich man---ahhh so many vettes so little time!!! I think one ZR-1 from each year plus a 58 (my birth year) and a 07 Z06 all in Black would be a fine collection!!! If I were a rich man---as the song goes

HAVE TO ADMIT THIS DOES GET THE BLOOD MOVING--HECK EVEN IF I JUST HAD THE ABOVE TWO MY 92 AND A 95 ZR-1 ALL IN BLACK I WOULD BE VERY HAPPY---TILL THE NEW 600HP+ SC VETTE ARRIVES!!!

MINE WOULD HAVE TO BE BLACK THOUGH---

With the latest supercar horsepower tango pouring out of Europe, GM can't stand to see the already potent 500hp Corvette Z06 gazed down upon as a second rate supercar. Instead GM is developing an alleged supercharged 600hp Z06 with carbon fiber components dubbed the "Blue Devil" as reported by Autoweek in a recent interview with General Motors vice chairman Bob Lutz. With a curb weight hovering around 2900 lbs. and a price tag starting at $100,000 the European competition should be breaking into a cold sweat as the Blue Devil seen here making laps around Germany's Nurbürgring passes by.

Commentary:
There is no denying this devil in a blue dress will drop jaws with amazing performance but the best and worst part is the price tag. The price is the best part in terms of having an obtainable super car for non-millionaires. However, the worst part is the absence of status and exclusivity that comes with an exotic super sports car's astronomical price tag. Price it too low and the Blue Devil will never shake that second tier reputation no matter how good it performs. Bargains are for the frugal minded and in the realm of supercars this doesn't mix. It is well known that GM has the capability to build amazing cars of such caliber but in the midst of financial difficulty the Blue Devil is a bit inappropriate. GM should stop trying to shed light on its model line by creating an artificial halo effect from an affordable super car. Instead they should concentrate more on anticipating consumer tastes and make desirable products as a result. And I'm not talking about making more SUV's.

It is going to have even more ponies according to Lutz in this article.

Holy Shiite, just realized you have a Red/Red fetish. When is the Ruby car getting there? Which one will you bring down to the Vette Fest if you come?

flyin ryan · 04-18-2007

ya red's o.k. i guess

, that's what sucked me into the Ruby car to be honest. if it was any other color i never would have gone there. being a shade of red...it was just calling me. added to what i already have going so to speak. i won't get the Ruby car until probably early,early June or so. which one to bring
