The old ZR-1 Corvette was the true King of the Road, despite Shelby's trademark for his Mustang derived GT500KR. The new ZR1 is the fastest and most powerful production car ever built by GM. Heralded as
"The King has returned...long live the King." on GM's website, and they do have a point. It may not be the most exotic, as exotic cars go, but it is faster than most for a lot less $, is more reliable, and can be serviced at any Chevrolet Dealer. The 2009 ZR1 has a supercharged 6.2L V8 LS9 with 600+ net hp and capable of 200+ mph (300 Km/h+) and has Brembo Carbon Ceramic Brakes, and lots of Carbon fibre, and special Michelin SP2 tires. The car will be available in the summer of 2008, place your order early. The very first ZR1 was sold for a Million dollars at Barrett-Jackson auction in Arizona.
