  • im going tomarrow getting mon the flight 2night. :D :D :D :D : D :D :D D: DD: D: :D :D

  • I can get a ZR1 these days for 80,000 dollars and a buggati veyron for a million, but that was two years ago

  • Things like this make me proud to be an American.

  • imeagine in 2050 how much that first zr1 will value i thjink like 3.5 or 4m easly

  • @TheKasoy90 Not exactly, the Corvette's appreciating years were in it's early years.

  • what kind of stupid ass would pay 60000 for paint, have you ever seen what rustoleum could do

  • I love foregin cars and own 3. But on the high end ones I hear a "sticky valve" nearly destroyed the own engine or the rubber timing belt with teeth "slipped", or I misssed a shift and...... or bad gas caused...........

    Bottom line is they are no where near as dependable or strong.

    American engines are capable of well over 2k hp "stone reliable".

    I will say this again. American engines are capable of well over 2K hp

    "stone reliable". Check out Nelson Racing. Or the SSC.

  • I own that corvette now. Parked in my collection, bought t it 3 months ago!

  • Very nice video, thanks for sharing.

  • For that price I'd rather buy a brand-spanking new one, and modify it with the extra $ I save

  • My last comment is directed @ pocketbike16

  • im the 30,000th viewer!!!!

  • not the greatest corvette in history ........

  • Fucking shit american plastic!!

  • @cryteeek fuck you to ass hole. What the fuck do you have in your garage fagget??

  • @cryteeek only the rear bumper is plastic and this car will kill anything else shy of an enzo ferrari

  • 60k a gallon paint?!??!?!? HOLY SHIT!

  • doesnt dave letterman or dave ressler? buy it

    i guess thats his real name but i thnk he bought it cause he had it on his show or something saying he had the first one or somehting like that

  • its factory rated @ 638 you douches!

  • @CptnCruizer666 ,

    yes it is factory rated at 638 hp but at the crank.... when they put all the car together the hp goes down because of its wight.

  • Respond to this video... and I was referring to the announcers for their misguided information...power loss has nothing to do with weight. Its called powertrain loss

  • 1 million $? not worth it at all max it should go is really 200k

  • look how those people spend stupidly the money!!! oh GOD forgiven them!!!

  • soo wish Lingenfelter teamed up with gm to make their 900bhp zr1 :(

  • This car would get smoked on the track against a ferrari or a lambo but kodos to gm for making awesome piece machinery.

  • @gorillagirlgorilla Are you retarded?

  • @gorillagirlgorilla actually this car spanks all Lambos on the Nurburgring in germany and its has a better 0-60 than an Enzo and ran a 7:26 on the ring and the Enzo ran a 7:25

  • @CptnCruizer666 dude an enzo is 2002 (i think) and this vette is is 2009 (i know =P ) so how much new technology is in that chevy but it is still a plastic car LOL

  • @MultiPorsche2 only the rear bumper is plastic dude

  • @acquiesce1993 yeah, tell me one Europen supercar with a plastic rear bumper... None ˇ0ˇ, zero, nothing, not even a single one famous supercar (EU) has a plastic body..... that is the reason why i think This vette is STUPID!!!

  • @MultiPorsche2 ok time to end this as you know nothing about cars and probably only like them based on looks and exclusivity. First of all this car gives you the performance of a Ferrari Enzo for around $120 000 USD. Now the plastic in the rear bumper is military grade that is used in the US Army for various items. Also the fact that its a real drivers car with a true 6 spd, not like that tiptronic paddle shifting garbage. To buy this car you must enjoy driving, not posing in overpriced crap.

  • @acquiesce1993 yeah=) it is time to end this, but if u want a proper drivers car buy a Porsche Carrera GT with NO PLASTIC PARTS ;D

  • @MultiPorsche2 you know what dude, i would rather keep my plastic bumper and smoke your overpriced porsche in just about every performance test. yes even around a track it smokes it, look up the times my friend. on top of that it is much more reliable and can be used everyday as the Carrera GT cant. Also, plastic or carbon fibre, it dosnt matter because its painted and you cant tell anyways. so you say i should spend the extra money on the porsche and get less? oh makes perfect sense...idiot.

  • @MultiPorsche2 exactly.....the inside of corvettes are extremly cheap......the performance is amazing.....but thats why the price is lower......lambo.....porsche..­..ect......are made with high quality materials....

  • um doesnt jay have the first car? i remeber on his website he siad he had the first car n? what thw hell someone let me no please

  • lucky fuck.

  • It would b funny if someone on da stage keys the car while the guy is selling it

  • IF you go to jay leno's website he has a grey ZR1 with the same exact serial number. I don't get that.

  • What the hell is Jay talking about, this will be the best Vette of all time? Obviously he doesn't scour the Net, or this was recorded a long time ago because everyone who is anyone knows the Corvette ZO7 coming out late 2013 will indeed be the best to date. But they will continually improve it, so techinically there is no "this is the best Corvette of all time" because it will be better each generation. It's called evolution.

  • @ilikeflyin oh sorry I didn't watch enough of the video...didn't realize it was the first and the only one in that color. Me and my big mouth...

  • You ask what wa this guy doing

    1. For charity so it's a good thing to do

    2. #00001 with one of a kind paint in 1 year it's gonna be worth a lot more than a mill in 10-25 it'll be worth a fortune like $5 mill+

  • @monsterenergy713 I see...sorry for my dumbass remark lol

  • Lol no worries

  • This car will never be worth what he paid for it. Doesn't matter that it's number 1, the 1st Stingray from 1963 only sold for $1.2 million recently.

  • Only 1.2? Look at the MSRP for a 63 stingray in 1963. That's an return on investment if you ask me. How about the 63 Stingray Grandsport worth over 12 million.

    Rare Fast Vette's sell trust me. That ZR1 will be at least double its price in 20 years.

  • @Greendude33 double ? never ...... maybe in America for some ppl u have to search for very long ...

  • this one is unique #0001, in 30 years its going to be worth a fortune... and money was going to charity anyway

  • uhh...they only cost $110K now WTF was this guy doing

  • Detroit kicks it up a notch. Buy American U.S.A U.S.A Corvette is faster than imports and the Corvette is built in America why buy anything else?

  • 1 million ....fuck.! this guy must be love that car to mutch, i understand that it´s unique, but... 1 million? build your own man!!!

  • LONG LIVE THE CORVETTE!!!!!

  • 60 thousand dollars a gallon for the paint...that is crazy

  • Can you sell a Japan car for that kind of money

    I don't think so.........

  • yeah, those shitty japanese cars, like those 40k EVOS that would rape a zr-1 on a course

  • Haters really need to have a little respect for American engineering. Your piss poor attitude towards our country is why Detroit has a 35% unemployment rate. This industry tries so damn hard to get our attention and yet we end up sending our money to places like Japan and Korea. If you want to know what America is about watch the car chase scene in Bullitt

  • The first oil embargo was also very damaging to the industry and Japan happened to have smaller, more fuel efficient cars built for their home market. When they were imported en masse, they were the short term cure for the gas shortage. That said, have you ever seen a motorcycle-engined Honda? It didn't exactly scream quality, and neither did the Subaru 360 that spun around due to its extreme rear weight bias.

    So, in short, the current situation in Detroit is mostly of our own making.

  • I don't know what you're talking about and I don't think you you do either. Corporate greed and union fleecing are the primary reasons Detroit is in the toilet.

  • American is number 1

  • great car!

  • Way overpriced limited released garbage. Like the 2003-2006 Ford GT, only 4,038 made. Rich guy's wet dream. Probably cost about as much as owning and maintaining a '70's Maserati or '84-85 Corvette. Pile of terds

  • My neighbor has a GT, and it's a great car. You don't even know.

  • Jay Leno couldn't have said it clearer...you heard the man himself say, "I'm a member of the more-money-than-brains-club, and I can buy any Ferrari or Lamborghini, but this car, the ZR1, is the best sportscar in the world...the best bang for your buck!!"...Jay knows what the hell he's talking about when it comes to cars!...enough said. Period.

  • that price is worth it for that beautiful fast amazing zr1

  • Good for Jay for saying good things about American cars. In this day and age I am totally disgusted at all the hate that many AMERICANS have for AMERICAN things. It's like they carry their hate for GWB over to any thing else that's American. While Toyota is busy recalling more cars than they make, the press is shitting all over anything domestic. And this is coming from a Canadian guy. There's nothing wrong with a little domestic pride. **** the haters.

  • Correction that this isn't the VIN NUMBER 0001 its some other Vin number this isn't the first one but this guy has a great soul for paying $900,000

    more just to give to charity :P

  • he paid $1,000,000

  • Jay Leno is the most amazing person EVER!!!

    He is swimming in riches from his TV fame so he goes and collects vintage, exotic, sport, and luxury cars over 100 in total and he sells his Corvette ZR-1 VIN NUMBER 001 meaning its the first one that was ever made! This guy who paid $1,000,000 did a great thing for charity. All the money goes to charity and he paid alot of money for that car it's not worth that much just that its the first one Jay Leno gave up HIS VETTE for charity!!!!!!! :D I wouldnt

  • zonda f is 800 punds lighter and has more horespower and cost about 5 times as much. it will not beat the zr1. the zr1 can out accelerate the zonda 0-60 by over a half second and the zr1 will go 0-100 in 6.7 seconds and the zonda will do it in 7.2 seconds. but the zonda is faster in top speed.

  • a corvette on steeroids hahaha fucking idiot

  • Proceeds went to the United Way who do great charity work in this country, don't forget that even people with money who really want something, can give generously to help another cause and get a great 'souvineer' and deservedly so. When was the last time any of the haters on here gave to charity?

  • beautiful Vette Barrett-Jackson is the shit...

  • Jay Leno Rocks!

  • Corvettes are great cars, but for $100,000, I can buy a C6,C5,C4, and C3 and still have some left over.

  • the pagani zonda f will smoke the shit out of this car but not by a whole lot.

  • dave wrestler is a cocky douchebag, he was the highest bidder, already was going to win the car but he decided to add another 100 grand to it just to show off to everyone how much money he has. then look at his materialistic wife and the old lady beside her they look so fake! love the car though, and all american muscle cars

  • Man are u just a jealous guy. I bet if Dave was a friend or uncle etc... u would say i love u Dave. He has a lot of money and u don't. so don't hate the guy for it. u just wish u had what he had. Good for u Dave u added a extra 100 grand for charity man what a bad guy u are dave ???

  • yeah i hate the guy for being rich =P

    no just kidding i think i was in a bad mood lol

  • its pretty sweet ...... but i like the earlyer year modles soooooooooo in a way i kinduf think its stupid !!!!!!!!! goooo ferrari

  • Jay Leno is one of the foremost automotive collectors on the planet and is extremely knowledgeable about sports cars. He is not a "tool," he genuinely loves sports cars. I cannot think of anyone better to introduce this magnificent vehicle, and I believe that almost any automotive fan would agree with me. Shame on you... you obviously have no knowledge about automotive matters what so ever to say what you did.

  • CHEVY ALL THE WAY!!

  • i am italian, ha ha, i drive a chevy tahoe and i love it! i know people driving ferraris and similar european, to much trouble, always in need of tune and service, and break down, my friend had a new aston vanquish trailed home!!shame, god bless america

  • "This is a Corvette or steer-oids." Ha!

  • hahahhaha lets see how the lambos and ferraris handles compare to this car.. that handle thing is too old and it was the excused that this people had... now they are hatting that the caddie handles better than the audi ( '' audi had the best handling on luxury cars''.. dont forget the awesome handling of the GTX1

  • i love amarican super?sorts cars! , i just wish we would move past the 2 valves per cyclinder minded way of building motors! TOP GEAR said it best with the 05-06 SRT-10 VIPER, "if you give a European engineer 8000cc's to work with, you'd get a damn sight more then 500 hp, and hes right!, the lambo lp640 murc has 640 with a 6.5, and the porche CGT with 600 hp with pretty much a similar engine size.

  • you're a fucking moron

  • why? LOL

  • those ferraris and lambos get high horsepower because they rev very high they have no torque, and get very poor fuel mileage. they are also very unreliable and constantly need tuned up. the porsche uses turbochargers. the z06 and zr1 you can drive for 100k without a tuneup. ferrari and lambo recommend a tune up every oil change. europe has no car that can compete with the corvette is its price range top gear is not a place you should get automotive information from its a entertainment show ONLY.

  • @randomstrike15 hahahahahahaha funny ....

  • @randomstrike15 they are not THAT reliable but they are pretty dam relaible. and there are several cars that can compete with the vette but still it is an awesome car

  • not to mention those lambos and ferraris cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. compared to the viper's 80k and the c6 z60 65k. europe cannot compete and is in decline and has been for a hundred years

  • dude, im not ragging on American super cars sport cars! i love em, im just saying that power wise, we could find another way of making it besides relying on power adders thats all.

  • you could? then why don't they do it? the ferraris and lambos have no torque and rev high to make their horsepower. torque rules, thats why they LOSE :)

  • we have another idiot who uses the same excuse american cars dont have good handling LOL go somewhere and chill out

  • Chill out man. Don't act like a child over whos better or not. besides have you driven a ZR-1. The answer is probably no

  • it went to charity he probably did it for tax deductions

  • I really think you should bite your tonque, stop the flak from flying. These cars are yet to be publicly tested. Damn near everyone that watches this video is aware of how dominant the C6 Z06 is on the track (and I'm not even talking about a dragstrip) One look at this car, with a once over of it's spec sheet, and it's blatantly obvious that the upcoming ZR1 is ALL OVER the Z06. Nevermind, I'll let you basque in your shit talking bliss while you still can.

  • YEAH BUT DID YOU FUCK WITH THE MUSTANG

  • Dude. Chill.

    As it stands, GTR puts out way less HP than the ZR1.

  • sick sick sickkkk

  • It's alot, but i would have done it if i had the money...

  • sick but tooooooooooooooooooooooo much

  • $1'000'000 FOR A 'VETTE-THE BRAND NEW ZR1 THAT IS-!NOW that's a LUCKY DOG of an new owner!!!!!
