It has been played several times over the past few days during the auction. If this is the way GM spends my taxpayer $$$, I approve! I hope they sell everyone they can build. At 638 horsepower and a full warranty, it is indeed a rocket.

Watch this rocketship video

That's a great ad!

ZR1 has the 638 hp
Z06 has 505
Coupe, GS, and vert have either 430 or 436 if you have the dual mode exhaust.

I am a happy owner of a 2009 Coupe with the dual mode exhaust. It is a bonafide low 12 second car in the quarter totally stock. And averages 19-20 mpg around town, close to 30 on a trip.

So what's not to like, Snowwolfe??

The fact it has to sit in the garage from November until March

let me help you out.

First snow, send it down to Seattle on the ferry. I'll fly up and get it, and stick it back on for you as soon as you are sure the frost season is over.

Dang, you beat me to it, Rich.....

And it does all that with 2 valves per cylinder and a pushrod actuated valve train. Un-frickin-believable.

Forced induction is hard to beat......

Let me sweeten the deal. I'll pick you up at the airport and give you a ride in your own car to the Dallas Safari Club convention.

For the life of me I'm somehow unable to wrap my mind around the concept of letting you drive.

I try to imagine it, and the only thing I can envision is you and me brawling in the parking lot for the keys.

And while you guys are brawling, I will slip away in the car.....

I freely admit I might not win. But losing sight of the objective has never been something I'm typically guilty of.

Bought a new car at the local podunk Chevy dealer last fall. They had a ZR1 in the showroom. I am not the biggest fan of Corvettes but.... WHAT A BADDASS CAR!!!!!!!! It looked like it was doing 150 sitting there. The brakes themselves were awesome. Stickered at 117,000

The Rocketship video is an excellent example of how power steering on the back wheels work. Love it.
