2009 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 North Carolina

The Corvette is revered around the world as America's sports car. Over the generations Chevrolet has spawned some specialized models that added to the already potent performance-car's cachet. The Corvette Z06 is that model, with a 7.0-liter, 7100-rpm-redline V-8 dumping a thunderous 505 horses on its aptly named Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar tires. But apparently that wasn't enough for the boys at GM.

The Corvette is revered around the world as America's sports car. Over the generations Chevrolet has spawned some specialized models that added to the already potent performance-car's cachet. The Corvette Z06 is that model, with a 7.0-liter, 7100-rpm-redline V-8 dumping a thunderous 505 horses on its aptly named Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar tires. But apparently that wasn't enough for the boys at GM. They don't just want to compete with the likes of Aston Martins, Ferraris and Porsches; they want a car that'll catch 'em, slap 'em around, call 'em Suzy and then go on to lap 'em. That's the newest ZR1, the most menacing Corvette ever sold.

Before you get your hopes up too high, I'll tell you now: We haven't driven the ZR1 — yet. That's not going to happen until the end of the year. The estimated performance numbers are subject to much debate. Nevertheless, the Z06 has what it takes to be the ultimate track car, as that's its intended function. The ZR1 is developed from the Z06, using its aluminum structure as a starting point. Its engine, transmission, differential, brakes, shocks and springs are all unique. For a more thorough look at the ZR1, see our February 2008 issue.

The heart of the ZR1 is the LS9 6.2-liter supercharged V-8. It's expected to have 620 bhp, or possibly more. Overall, the engine puts out 20 percent more power and torque than the already ferocious LS7 from the Z06! The car has gained roughly 200 lb., even though it employs carbon-ceramic brakes and lightweight carbon-fiber bodywork. The extra weight will hurt performance a bit, but some will be gained back with specialized Michelin tires. We expect slalom and skidpad performance to be affected most.

Chevrolet Corvette -- 2005 Review: Glowing over distant mountains, a central California sunset blazes in fiery glory, framed within the 2005 Chevrolet Corvette's windshield as the roadster rockets down the last twisty bit of the day, xenon high-intensity discharge headlamps combining with the last vestiges of natural light to illuminate the pavement blurring between its bulging front fenders.

Cars come and cars go. We wish some never came, and there are a whole bunch we lament ever left. But two cars that just won't go away — and we're thrilled about this — are the Chevrolet Corvette and Porsche 911.
