you dont think a stock LT/LS series engine cant handle 1000hp?
you sir are retarded.
ive seen plenty of lt/ls engine in the 1000hp range.

u sir are a dipshit.
corvettes are one of the safest sports cars you can get.

Your a dumbass the cobra come with a supercharger and your saying if you put twin terbos on it you can get 1200hp thats modifing it you moron. I would give a stock cobra motor with 1200hp 20 miles before it was tost even if it does have forged parts.

The zr1 formaly know as the blue devil was in the making before they GTR came out. Why dont you do some reasearch before you come on youtube and act like you know every thing.

I sold my beat to hell shit interior, cherry bomb exhaust 68 mustang coupe for 52K euro… they can’t get enough American muscle! so I’ll take my 52k euro… just under 100k and come back to buy a new ZR1… yey deployments!

This car sums up american engineering …BADASS.

rockerdude29 February 15, 2010 at 9:28 PM

first they say american cars could never be as fast as european,we did that,then say they cant handle,we did that,and now everyone is ragging on the ZR1s INTERIOR? did motortrend bitch because there are no floor mats or AC in the enzo?NO because its euopean,and every car test company loves to jack off europe.well what about the GTRs cheap plastic skirts or insane warranty?no because japan was buliding a cheap world beating supercar,what do you think chevy did?people and their bullshit excuses.

There’s a couple of things I don’t like about it. Firstly, here in the UK, it costs the equivalent of about $180,000 and there’s no right hand drive option. Apart from that though it’s a very good effort from GM when you think how far they’ve come in recent years.

now ferrari and lambo gotta put another 50k on their cars price tags for the anti zr1 mods :)

jnjoblon February 15, 2010 at 11:07 PM

Lol, yeah our interiors suck, thats for sure.

melikehockey February 15, 2010 at 11:16 PM

seriously dude. if i had to find one bad thing about this car that would have to be it.

petrolhead229 February 15, 2010 at 11:30 PM

no car sounds, looks, brakes, goes or grips quite like a ZR1. I absolutely love it!!!! favourite car here!

huntercentury February 15, 2010 at 11:39 PM

What a GLORIOUS V8 sound!

nemesis3001 February 16, 2010 at 12:24 AM

If only someone would put a German designed interior into an American built muscle car..

jdmteg22 February 16, 2010 at 12:39 AM

i wasnt a corvette fan but im in love with this beast…..

epiphone112689 February 16, 2010 at 1:30 AM

people need to get there heads out of there asses when it comes to cars. they only believe what there told. Japanese cars are great but not that great. no greater then American cars. European cars are nice but they get old fast!. I know i will get heat for this oh well. to me American cars are nice well balanced cars. i have a 2001 Camaro daily drive and get 25 mpg and still looks nice very nice, to be honest it gets the same mpg that my bros Toyota corolla gets. And it handles way better.

AAu99 February 16, 2010 at 2:10 AM

Change that ugly ass console and then it will be a true supercar…

ryanwelsh2132 February 16, 2010 at 2:35 AM

thats what i said!

chrisgordine February 16, 2010 at 2:37 AM
