Corvette ZR1

After years of rumors and speculation, the infamous "Blue Devil" is finally a reality. Packing a supercharged V8 putting out more than Six Hundred horsepower, this is, without a doubt, the most powerful corvette ever produced. It marks yet another upping of the ante in the new horsepower wars. A decade ago, it took a "mere" 400 horses to be considered for the supercar club; then 500, and now 600. One must wonder when this power craze will end. I think we are reaching the pinnacle of automotive performance now, and within a decade rising fuel costs and increased emmissions regulations will once again stifle these monsters. If you want to know what the big car at Barrett-Jackson will be in 40 years, you are looking at it. If you have the funds, buy one and put it in a garage somewhere. Bring it out in 40 years. It will probably sell for more than a million.

This car really pushes the limits of what the corvette's mission is. Intended as "The People's" sports car, it is rapidly rising out of the price range of many middle class Americans. The ZR1 will most likely cross the six-figure threshold. Its an awesome car, but dont expect your average guy to be able to bring one home.

Also, for a $100k car, couldnt they have made it just a tad better looking? Honestly, the carbon fibre roof and stupid clear hood section; what were they thinking. I much prefer the looks of the Z06 or even base model.
