I am a hardcore corvette and viper fan. When I saw the ZR1 at the NY auto show, I fell in love with it. I also saw the Viper at the show and have always loved that car. The problem I would have is, if I bought the ZR1 I would always know that I could have bought the Viper and man that would weigh on my head. It would be the same way around if I bought the Viper. The Viper and the corvette are still my favorite cars ever.

That's one of the few things that makes me glad living in Germany, the autobahn. My other car goes about 150mph. That's not even close to this vette but it's a lot of fun too.

The zr1 of the 90s, nobody wants those. Theyre dirt cheap. In 5 years this vette will be outdone by the next vette and it will be worth nothing, just like the 405hp and 420 hp z06s of only a few years ago are now, they're not collector items.

Pteam I think we might be about to see the zenith in horsepower. With emissions, fuel efficiency, green corporate boards I think we are about to see the auto mfgs. head in the other direction again. Hope not but I bet that is what happens.

On a related subject, just thinking out loud and dreaming of a new sports car... Is the 'vette the best sports car in the world, cost no object?

100,000 mile warranty, the new ones have all-hand-stitched-leather interiors as an option, the '07 base 'vette butt-hoses a 911 Turbo around a race track (see here: http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/hot_lists/high_performance/features_classic_cars/the_lightning_lap_2007_feature ), the Z06 beats a ford GT, the racing porsches, probably Italian cars around the same track.

They ride pretty good (better than Porsches cars IMO), they're comfy (better than Porsches cars IMO), the '08's aren't annoyingly loud on the highway, I got 31mpg for a 15 mile test drive at 65-70 on the highway... if they cost $200k and came from Italy people would call them the prettiest cars on the road, they never rust, probably the biggest owners group around, aftermarket galore, the most hot-rodable engine ever, if you want to go that route... 5000 service statiosn in the country, so you never get stuck being butt-hosed by the 1 Porsche station within 300 miles of you, hwo knows they are the only 1 within 300 miles of you, and spends lots of time planning ways to maximize the butt-hosing they can give you as a result of this (i'm joking, sort of).

So whats the downside? Not rare enough, i guess?

I'm really thinking about pulling a little german needle out of my eye and getting an '08 Vette.

if that happens, the last, biggest, baddest, most powerful, euro-car killing vette made will definitely be a collectors item
