    Anyone been able to see the new ZR1 corvette. This thing is nuts. We just got two of them in about a week or so ago at work. 638 hp and $120,000

    I know 2 people with them here, one a speedway blue one black, there is probably a dozen of them here in town counting the ones at dealers, we also have about 4 GT-R's running around town, ran up on one in my z51 coupe the other day and got smoked

    We have 1 at our BMW dealership... It's actually a loaner car. lol

    I also got to briefly drive a GT 40 a couple of times that's had alot of work done to it, 700+ at the wheels.

    They won't let any of us drive any of them because there was a guy there that wreaked a Z06 about 2 months ago and did $20,000 worth of damage.

    A guy in our local club just got a new Z06, and I joked that he "only" got the Z06, and not the ZR1.
    ;)

    I like fast cars, and have had a couple fast mustangs, but no car will excite me as much as a sportbike. Unless you get that bugatti veyron that is a million dolalrs, no sports car can hold a candle in any performance respect to a 12 thousand dollar 1000cc superbike.

    the bugatti is nothing anymore, lookup the SSC Ultimate Aero, world's fastest production car and 100% US built

    Yeah, I have seen that, but it isn't as sexy as the Bugatti. It is hard for me to get excited over a 4 wheeled machine. I still like powerful and fun to drive cars, but as I stated above, they don't trip my trigger like they used to.

    I'm a huge car buff, but I have a sweet spot for American muscle, hence my stang and vette :)
