2011 Corvette ZR1
« on: September 12, 2011, 07:45:24 PM »
I've never been a big Corvette fan myself..  :dunno:  But my cousin just came over tonight with a brand new 2011 ZR1.. 638 hp stock - not sure why you'd need 638 hp for the street, but then again, why not?!  :dunno: :chuckle:    Truly one of the fastest cars I've personally been in,  and it may have just changed my mind on owning one..  :chuckle: 

Just need the money first.. But, I sure as heck don't have 6 figures to spend on a car....   :yike: 

Anyone else a Corvette fan?

So which cars have you been in that are faster?

0-60 in 3.3 seconds is one of the fastest street cars of all time.

Personally I'd have saved the $40,000+ over the ZR1 and got a Z06. They'll do 0-60 in 3.6 seconds and are only about 5mph slower on the top end.

But what the hell do I know,I bought a Subaru Outback over the weekend. :chuckle:

My Dad just gave me his Corvette a couple weeks ago. It feels pretty good to have the power but damn what a death trap it can be. :yike:

Ok, the fastest.. That should fix any questioning there!  :chuckle:  Was just a general statement.

Yep,it hauls the dog,hauls the kids,they're like a tank in the snow. It'll probably go 300K miles too. :tup:

I always find it funny that so many guys are defined by the car they drive.

Don't worry,when I want to be a "real man" I'll hop in my 400hp Diesel P/U.

Thats why I was wondering. I was thinking that dude has gone for a ride in some cars with world class speed. :IBCOOL:

Is that the same one I drooled all over when I was at the Chev. dealer in REnton a few weeks ago? Look for a big slime mark just under the steering wheel on the floor mat..... :drool:

I have been in a Lamborghini Gallardo and an SL63 AMG Mercedes.. That was a pretty dang fast and amazing car too.. Heck it's only money..  Money I don't care to spend on something like that!  I have a bucket list of hunting trips I'd rather take before spending six figures on a car - I don't know about you guys?!  :dunno: :chuckle:

He bought it from North Bend if I remember right? I was too busy drooling over it myself to listen to the whole story!  :chuckle:

That is one sweet ride  :drool: . Corvettes have always been my fav.
