Knowing GM, they will sell all the 6.2 ZR1's that they can in '09 and then put a supercharged LS7 in the next year model.

GM IS A TRICKY BUNCH. THEY ARE DOING ALOT TO GET BACK ON TRACK WITH THE REST OF THE MAKES, YOU ARE JUST SEEING THE BEGINNING..

THEY HAVE HEARD THE CALL OF THE PERFORMANCE ENTHUSIAST... AND THEY ARE RESPONDING...


THEY MAY BE LATE TO THE SHOW... BUT THERE PRESENCE WILL BE KNOWN WHEN THEY HIT THE GROUND RUNNING

Wow, I didn't see "ZR1" coming. I like the fact that they did not call it Blue Devil or Corvette SS but it should have a different name, IMO. ZR1 should only be used for the special edition C4 Vette that was built in the early 90's. Z07 would have been the best choice.
