I want one! o.O

If I had the money..... damn

I imagine they were in a dilemma with that. Firstly, it's a bigger engine. The c6 body is capable of holding larger engines (a la 7L in the Z06) but they'll have a bulge in their hood. While the 6.2 is slightly smaller than the 7, it does require massive cooler. Imagine the only reliable and economical way to store the supercharger would be on top of it. This probably created an even larger bulge that looked more awkward than the window, so they opted with the window.

Some Europeans own and prefer Corvettes to anything else, Buddy. It's a big, diverse world of big, diverse people out there.

so about the little window on the hood. Most real automobiles have a poly opening up to a beautifully sculpted engine, where you can see all the awesome details. but on this thing, all we see is a piece of plastic denoting the car is supercharged, way to go chevy designers

actually it could rape the enzo, but it needs some good driver, usauly 1st to 3rd gear the corvette is in front, then it gets harder for a not good driver

People who are making fun of the ZR1 or saying its not the best are simply just jealous. The ZR1 is the best product GM has ever created. This vette not only is the fastest on the street with 638hp its also one of the best in handling. Corvettes have always been known for there power and handling and this vette once again proves it and goes beyond that. Luxury my ass who cares about that I want power, speed, handling which this vette has it all.

soon in like 2022, they'll make it look like a real machine.

I just ordered one today...I was posotive I was gonna win the lotto tonight, but I didnt. What should I do?

You are either a Corvette man or not. If not just shut your mouth. Europe Can kiss my ass!! If it was not for America they would all be speaking krout right now.So fuck off you wankers! Corvette for life man. Peace out!

[Corveette]

Would everyone just shut the fuck up about the ZR1 not being the best of the best!! OK!!! It is really as good as it sounds and beats all of the exotics that all of you fucking eruopeans care soo much about. The fact that it can go from 0-60 in 3.3sec is just amazing!!! It is almost as fast as the Ferrari Enzo and it uses the same brakes as it. Now if you want luxury, go some where else. You pay for perforance not luxury and thats just what you get

Amen!
