OMG I just busted a load. This is the sexiest vette yet.

jbernie · 12-20-2007, 12:43 PM

I think the best thing about this Vette is that it still looks like.. a Vette.

No crazy radical designs or ricer looking gigantic wings. It is for the most part a very subtle supercar. Although the price is high, it still is a supercar for the common man (or woman).

I think GM played their cards right on this one.

It was stated somewhere that SAE ratings should be out in March.

After owning it for a few months it'll become worthless to you.

Pants to the seat feeling up to 30 second / 190 mph

Got not control over weehlspinn at launch and 1st to 2nd gear shift

Bone stock C6Z06's have now hit 10.9x

I expect a properly driven ZR1 to touch low low 10's at least.
