Corvette z06 and zr1
    #7852886 - 01/09/08 10:02 AM (16 years, 23 days ago)

Has anyone heard about the 2009 ZR1?

Bitch is bad.

2009 LS9 6.2L V-8 engine


2009 Corvette ZR1

Engine: 6.2-liter supercharged V-8
Power: 620-horsepower, 585-pound-feet torque
Transmission: Six-speed manual
Assembled: Bowling Green, Ky.
Curb weight: 3,350 pounds
Features:
Widened carbon fiber fenders
19-inch front wheels, 20-inch rear wheels
Exposed carbon fiber exterior pieces.
Source: General Motors Corp.










The car is an investment. I've heard rumors that there are only supposed to be 2000 made, but when I called the dealership they said only a few hundred. Most cars depreciate, but this one will do the opposite. Price tag is supposed to be between $100,000 and $120,000.


The only thing... I wouldn't want to make any changes to it. I'd be too afraid it would have an effect on it's ability to appreciate.

BUT...

If you take a Z06 and take it to Lingenfelter, they have a package that'll bring your car up to 630hp and 575lbs of torque (without a blower... ALL ENGINE). For how much??? around $15,000.

Engine removal & removal of intake manifold, cylinder heads, camshaft Lingenfelter full hand porting & polishing of cylinder heads for optimal flow Lingenfelter multi-angle valve job & surfacing for 11.5:1 compression Ferrea high performance dual valve springs, titanium retainers & valve locks
Lingenfelter ZO6 GT19 camshaft by Competition Cams Lingenfelter High Flow C6 ZO6 Air Induction & 4" diameter Lingenfelter Mass Air Sensor
Port Matched LS7 intake manifold Ported and polished LS7 throttle body GM Head gaskets & head bolts 160 degree thermostat Professional engine assembly and degreeing of camshaft. Professional engine installation, testing & tuning
Chassis dyno report before & after installation Excellent drivability, highway mileage not adversely effected Lingenfelter 3 year/ 36,000 mile warranty Lingenfelter certificate of authenticity

Package price - $8,695.00
add Headers
add exhaust
Totals close to $15000
+ the cost of the z06 $78,000

$93000 before tax

Have pretty much the same performance as the zr1 without any turbos or superchargers and for less $.

The Zr1 does have more than just engine modifications. There's so much more to it.

Conversing with yourself?

I don't know shit about cars, but I'm guessing even with similar performance, the zr1 would be far more likely to appreciate to a much higher price tag than a modded z06.

Yeah, I talk to myself alot.  :shrug:

The zr1 would appreciate better.  It's a special edition vette. 

As far as owning...  I'd rather have the power without having to supercharge it.

My dream car too.

1/4 mile in 11.9 seconds (125 mph)
0-100 in 7.9 seconds

Yet every time I encounter one I never get to see it's stuff.  It's always some 80 yr old guy driving it and I'm flying past him.  A cavalier should not be going faster than a corvette. :lol:

Usually is some 80 year old, but not always.

I've known about it for a couple weeks. That pic is actually my desktop background.
