I know this isn't a chevy site and yes the cars are expensive but either way those new zo6's are bad ass! I jus saw one bone stock down to the tire take on a big block open headered chevelle with a hood scoop an stayed on him the whole way on his way to a 11.50 e.t. at 123mph! I'm sorry but that's mighty impressive for a stone stock car. I understand that with the 60-70g's spent on the vette we could build a nasty ass stang but stone stock the zo6 has got to be the baddest car out there for the dollar imho.

Yeah, the new ZR-1 is pretty out of control, so is the ZO-6. I just saw both at the international auto show. In fact everything there is out of control but none of the concepts ever make it to the street in show form. I laugh when I hear people say ''I'll put $70k into my car and it'll be just as fast''. It might be. In a straight line. Then you have to stop. And turn. I want to see the mustang Joe Schmoe puts $70k into run for 200k miles or even 50k with no issues.

Lmao that is so true and even if it does match all of that there iz still that factory warranty. The new zr1 is supposed to be a high 10/very low 11 sec car from the factory, so yeah it's goin to be sick.

Yeah those 08 Zo6's arent no joke, and yes for the money they are def one of the fastest cars you can buy, stock anyway. And nothing even has to be said about the ZR1 haha, ya already know.

Yeah they based it off of the 6.0 motor instead of the 7.0(427). Supposedly chevy didn't think the 7 liters walls had enough meat in em to live under boosted conditions for a very long time. Lingenfelter jus made a twin turbo version based off of the 427, they made jus shy of 1100 with it! But that car costs 250,000. I guess speed definetly costs money when it comes to vettes lol.

Well!! I just love it when Chevy or any other manufacturer comes out with the hottest production vehicle on the market, because the envelope for performance creeps up, but the price does as well. I had to sell my modified Hayabusa to my younger brother, because the torque/horsepower exceeded the limits that what my back could physically withstand without dealing with major back pain.
I mention the bike, because it was the fastest street legal vehicle I have every owned until now. My 1988 mustang has finally reached the performance level that exceeds the Hayabusa, and a showdown between my old bike and my mustang is still pending. My younger brother and I will have to decide on whether I go done to sea level or he brings the Hayabusa to Denver, where Bandiere's is at an elevation of 5800 ft.
if you are in to road racing, then by all means the ZR1 is the way to go. On the other hand, I'm more interested in quarter mile performance. So, bring own the ZR1, because this is why I built my 408 cui mustang, which has massive torque starting ant 1500 rpm's, and revs to 7000 rpm's.
And it you were wondering if the car could get the power to the ground, let's just say that it has pulled the front wheels off the ground on street slicks, on the street without doing a burn-out. However, I must admit that I was taken by surprise when this happen, because I was trying to get across a very busy intersection.
In the event that a highly modified car that is not normally aspired, there is an additional 400 shot of nitrous waiting in the wings. However, for safety and NHRA legal rules, I will have to skill the roll bar and install a roll cage. Also, I don't want to exceed 150 mph, because I don't know how I could explain this accessory on a street legal, drive car to my local law enforcement authorities.
And to make it clear, I will not street race, especially pushing this amount of horsepower. I know this thread is a bit lengthy; however, the point that I’m trying to make is that building a machine with your own blood, sweat and tears is far more rewarding than slapping down a 100 grand or so for a ZR1. E85-PWR.
Well the point of this thread was just to say how nice a car they are from the factory. Just like not everyone has the money to slap down 100g's for the zr1, not everyone has the money to put together a car like yours.
