Kudos to GM for incorporating the skull and flags logo... Its nice to see that GM isn't a completely PC corporate monolith occasionally.

I predict that lottery ticket sales nationwide are going to spike slightly...

I didnt have time to read the whole article...all I saw was 620hp at leaste.. holy shiiiiite. Anyways what is that thing on the hood, is it a clear cover for you to see the engine or is it some kinda popup cowl thing, or is it a shaker?

That car is sex on wheels....

My only complaint is that I can't afford one. I was thinking the same thing about the weight...somewhere I remember them saying under 3000lbs.

Love the on the intake tube.

Anyone notice that the wheels are the c6 z06 spoke pattern overlaying the c5 z06 spoke pattern?

I'm not sure how much has been publicly leaked, but I don't think a lot of people realize how fast this thing is. We're talking a car lighter than Ford GT with significantly more power.


By the way, I have a feeling this story is gonna get better!

Polycarbonate clear cover to see the engine, yeah.

It was the unofficial which I believe later became official C6.R racing logo.

Name's Jake. He stems from a few seasons ago when the Corvette race team had "Take No Prisoners" up on their pit wall.

I think it was last season, the two C6Rs raced with contrasting Jake color schemes.

I'm reasonably sure it could be said the ZR1 lives up to the original motto.

Damn that is badass, I was afraid of that yellow C6 that came out not too long ago, but this thing is SeX on wheels.

Why is there a viewhole in the hood when all that's underneath it is a plastic engine cover?
