General Motors and Chevrolet have just released all their official numbers for the 2009 Corvette ZR1 and... hold on to your butts... its base MSRP (including destination charges) will be $103,300. Add to that a $1,700 Gas guzzler tax, $2,000 for chrome wheels and another $10,000 for the only Option package available that adds upgraded seats, side air bags, Bose audio, a nav system, Bluetooth, power tilt/telescoping steering wheel and leather-wrapped interior, and you're looking at a grand total of $117,000. We believe that may make the Corvette ZR1 the most expensive product ever offered by GM, but consider what you get. The ZR1 is a 638-hp supercar that can reach 60 mph in 3.4 seconds, run the quarter mile in 11.3 seconds at 131 mph (!) and top out at 205 mph, all while returning 14 mpg city and 20 mpg highway. Unfortunately, Chevy didn't hit its target of having the most fuel-efficient supercar on earth with the ZR1, as they admit that the Dodge Viper (13/22) and Porsche GT3 (15/22) are a bit less thirsty. Of course, they're neither as powerful nor as fast, and the Porsche is more expensive. The ZR1 will likely be marked up by dealers far above its $117k asking price, but kudos to General Motors anyway for having the balls to build it.

Best bang for the buck still. Although, I'd rather a ZO6. I'd take that for 80K or so and toss in 10K in mods.

 

Couldnt agree more, Motons better brakes and tires and you are set!

 

$10K for the interior package is insanity... I agree with the Z06 comments. Load it up with the good stuff, some Recaros, etc., have Stitchcraft redo the interior. It'd be TONS cheaper - and that's before any dealer markup.

 

Going to be immensely sick regardless.

I have to agree with everyone else though. That money could do quite a bit in a C6 Z06. That and I'm going to assume their prices will be dropping once these bad boys are released as well.

 

I agree, I will take the Z06 and do some mods...

 

rather get a 996TT and do more mods

 

After seeing what happened to my uncle in his 2007 Z06 no thank you, its good that he is alive right now.

 

seems to much for a chevy

 

My cousin and uncle just ordered theres for august delivery, only 18 for his dealer this year. They have had deposits for 4 years for these cars, can't wait for August to come around
