We've been waiting with baited breath. Chevrolet filled us in with the jaw-dropping numbers this morning that surround the super-performance 2009 Corvette ZR1. Zero to sixty in 3.4 seconds, zero to one-hundred in 7 seconds, a quarter mile in 11.3 seconds at 131mph, and a base price of $103,300. Assuming you have the cash to grab one of these super-performance machines, you'll also have to pay a $1,700 gas guzzler tax as the offical EPA fuel economy has been set at 14mpg city and 20mpg highway. And, if you still have money left over you can select one or both of two options. A $10,000 package equips the ZR1 with power adjustable and heated seats, bluetooth, side air-bags, a Bose sound system, and a custom leather interior available in four separate colors. Chrome wheels add an additional $2,000 to the bottom line bringing a maxed out ZR1 to a staggering price of $115,300. Sure, it's a lot of money but the performance you get is equal or beyond that of many exotic cars on the road today for a fraction of the price. You can also rest assured that you'll also be saving money at the pump when behind the wheel of the ZR1. It's 14/20 EPA fuel economy rating is better than the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano, Lamborghini Murcielago, and Aston Martin V8 Vantage. The figures are in the same ballpark as the Dodge Viper and Porsche 911 GT3.
