Default New Corvette commercial

Did you guys see this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJW9Up0nJT4 that is way I like to come out of a corner....If I did that in the Chevelle I'd end up on the other side of that guard rail upside down. I need to come up with 130K to get me a new ZR1. Anyone want to donate...I take paypal.

Since we are talking ZR1s,I remember getting close to 6 figures for the 91s at the dealer I worked at when they first came out. Looking back,that was crazy money.

There are used C-4 ZRs out there for a price in the low twenties .... that keeps everything affordable! LOL And the good thing is tey go up in value instead of major depreciation

Another Corvette tid-bit. I was at the Manheim Pa. auction when,I believe it was the first sold at auction,a '78 Pace Car sold for $30k.

I had a friend that bought a new ZR in 91 and for months when asked how he liked it he answered "Fine, but it just doesnt have the power that I would have expected" .... come to find out for all these months he was driving unknowingly using the "valet" key which cut the HP in half! LOL

I do that in my Chevelle sometimes, but not on purpose... that's not the fastest way around the course.

I agree, it is kind of chessy. If I get one I'll paint it to match the color of the car....its such a easy fix.

I'll keep the window, thank you. You won't see mine when I scream by at about 170, sideways with my hair on fire.
