The long anticipated Corvette ZR1 may finally see the light of day in 2009. First unveiled at the 12 Hours of Sebring race in 2005, the car was supposedly the result of GM CEO Rick Wagoner wondering what his Chevrolet designers could do for $100,000. The answer, of course, is the most powerful and most expensive Corvette in the world.
Equipped with a new LS9 engine,a supercharged 6.2 liter V8 that produces 620 horsepower (100 hp per liter) and 6500 RPMs, this costly Corvette is reportedly capable of top speeds over 200 mph and experts guess it will be able to do 0-60 in around 3.0 seconds. That’s .6 seconds faster than the Z06. It also features a number of carbon-fiber body parts and adjustable suspension.
The Chevrolet Corvette C6 Z1 was formally announced in December 2007. The world’s most expensive Corvette still has a sticker price of $100,000 and, for anyone who wants to pimp out this luxury sports car, chrome wheels and premium interior options are available.

I want one!
Personally, I’d rather have a Ferrari. When it comes down to it, it’s still a Corvette!

most ferraris nowadays are good but not great…. with the exception of the 458 italia, the 599 and the ffx, the rest are just too overloaded with computer equipment and don’t offer a really good time when driving them
I got a 1978 Yugo I’ll put up light to light. Any takers?
Its actually pretty cheap. Look at the plain interior and the large use of cheap plastic.
that car is fast then that jet
