Yup , you do see alot of regular vettes but I bet they are not ZR-1's.
A few ZR-1 stats
* Standard 638-hp 6.2 Liter LS9 supercharged V8 engine
* Massive Brembo® carbon ceramic brakes
* 205-mph test-track top speed
I'd be happy to take one off someones hands for a few laps. -
It is precisely about performance:eek:... This car bests everything that comes into it's path that costs even 5 times it's price. The ZR1 corvette is something you most likely will see once in a lifetime on the street, as its numbers will be about 1100 or so per year for three years, then it will be done. I think there are more Lambos out there than that all told. If I had the cash I would buy one just to drive for a couple days a year and store it. When I retire this car will surely be worth its weight in gold, if not platinum.;)bobman1235 wrote: »It's not a question of performance so much as rarity.

OK, fair enough, I guess I just meant that your average Joe walking through one of these events just sees a Corvette like the million they've seen before. Unless someone tells you "no, this is the ZR1, it's like a Corvette, but WAY AWESOMER" you'd never know. You don't get to drive it or even see it drive all-out. I'm not disparaging its ability to go fast, just its ability to sit in a parking lot and be impressive.
These events are usually just so people can look at things that LOOK exotic, hence a Lambo or Ferrari, which is, compared to the cars most of us see every day, much more interesting to look at than a Corvette that looks like something that, even in New England, I see all the freakin' time.

What do you expect to find when you use the same/similar terms I used for the title of this thread?
Google "SCECC sheriff run"
Here, to dispel any conspiracy theories. Note, I did not start these threads.

Bah? It wasn't a conspiracy theory, I'm just easily amused. I still find it funny when Polk threads come up as top hits in a Google search. I saw your pics, I didn't think you made them up.....If you will it, dude, it is no dream. -
