The Zr-1 continues to impress me as I get to know it more>>>

[ZR1Vette]

Of course with this absolutely beautiful weather (mid Atlantic area anyway...but I do feel for those in middle America...what crap weather for them) cars are out in droves. So took the ZR out for several nice long spins and hit a few back roads... chance to really wind things out so WOT and to 6500+ rpm...only can say impressive and really love the OHC set up...very exotic sounding (Ellen even commented the difference between our C6 and the ZR)... and even though the C6 is a Lingenfelter set up with 470 RWHP and is stronger/faster than the ZR there is just something special about the LT5

I am not a street racing type, but always enjoy a spirited ride and what I am describing ended quickly and at a reasonable speed>>> at a double right turn at a stop light a CLK55 AMG (had to be a 2006 model)...nice looking ride, but had the "dude" with the baseball cap on backwards and seat back WAY back and the thump thump music going (you get the picture)...anyway light changes and no traffic and he hits it... I went to 65 mph in no time and shut it down just to let him read the rear license plate... he just stared at the car as he meekly cruised by... could see the 'WTF a 1990 Corvette' stare... I smiled and just nicely cruise along at 50 listening to 1960 tunes (BTW...I think the Bose system in the ZR-1 sounds great... better than the Bose in the C6 for sure).
Oh...having owned several AMGs I know the potential for these cars...if it were a CLK63 would have been a MUCH different story
