Chevrolet has announced the final pricing for the uber fast 2009 Corvette ZR1.The 2009 Corvette ZR1 starts at $103,300, which includes the $850 destination charges. In addition to that starting price you will also have to add the $1,700 Gas guzzler tax. If you want the upgraded interior package which includes: a power-adjustable, heated and leather-trimmed sport seats (embroidered with the ZR1 logo); side air bags; Bose premium audio system; navigation system; Bluetooth connectivity; power telescoping steering column; and a custom leather-wrapped interior available in four colors you are going to have to dish out another $10,000. Chrome wheels are also a $2,000 option. The 2009 Corvette ZR1 is powered by a supercharged 6.2L V8 that puts out 638 horsepower and 604 lb-ft of torque. It reaches 0-60mph in 3.4 seconds and has a top speed of 205 mph.Related Stories:2009 Corvette Z06 Gets a Few UpgradesIt's Official the 2009 Chevy Corvette ZR1 puts out 638 HP!PRESS RELEASE:Chevrolet announces performance results and pricing for the new ultimate-performance CorvetteDETROIT – The official Corvette ZR1 numbers are in and they’re good. Very good:- $103,300 MSRP (including $850 destination charge)- EPA-estimated fuel economy of 14 city and 20 highway- 0-60 mph in 3.4 seconds- 0-100 mph in 7.0 seconds- Quarter-mile elapsed time of 11.3 seconds at 131 mphThe Corvette ZR1 also has a top speed of 205 mph (330 km/h), making it the fastest Corvette ever produced and ranking it among the global super cars of commensurate performance. None of those other super cars, however, equals the ZR1’s performance-per-dollar ratio.“The ZR1 is an incredible machine by any measure,” said Ed Peper, North American Vice President, Chevrolet. “There’s simply no other vehicle in the world that does a better job of balancing performance, price and fuel economy.”Performance perspectiveThe Corvette ZR1’s 0-60 performance is 0.3-second quicker than the already-quick Corvette Z06 and the 0-100-mph performance is nearly a full second quicker - 7 seconds vs. the Z06’s 7.9 seconds. It is performance that is equal to or better than many super cars costing substantially more.“A favorable power-to-weight ratio gives the ZR1 an advantage over the competition and performance that has to be experienced to fully appreciate,” said Tom Wallace, Corvette chief engineer. “Of course, on a racetrack, drivers of competitors’ cars may appreciate the ZR1 in a whole different manner.”And the racetrack isn’t the only place where the ZR1 trumps its super-car competitors – it beats them at the gas pump, too. According to fueleconomy.gov, the ZR1’s EPA-rated 14 city and 20 highway mileage ratings beat 2008 competitors such as the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano (11 city / 15 highway); the Lamborghini Murcielago (8 city / 13 highway) and the Aston Martin V8 Vantage (12 city / 19 highway). They’re competitive with the Dodge Viper (13 city / 22 highway) and the Porsche 911 GT3 (15 city / 22 highway).Under the carbon-fiber hoodA new LS9 6.2L supercharged small-block engine powers the ZR1’s performance capability. Heavy-duty and lightweight reciprocating components support high-rpm performance, while a new, sixth-generation supercharger (and complementing charge-cooling system) helps the LS9 make big power and torque across the rpm range. The engine is hand-assembled at GM’s Performance Build Center, in Wixom, Mich.In addition to the LS9 engine, the ZR1 is a technology powerhouse, designed with lightweight and unique components that reinforce its performance with a confidant feel on either a highway or road course.OptionsThe standard ZR1 comes with accoutrements based on the Z06, including lightweight seats and lightweight content. The available uplevel interior package includes power-adjustable, heated and leather-trimmed sport seats (embroidered with the ZR1 logo); side air bags; Bose premium audio system; navigation system; Bluetooth connectivity; power telescoping steering column; custom leather-wrapped interior available in four colors and more. Chrome wheels are the only other available option on the ZR1.

2010 Camaro V6/RS/SS
2010 Mustang GT/GT500/V6They are both beautiful futuristic vehicles from Ford and GM, But heres what I have to say.
2010 Mustang
Dear Ford,
Why did you have to do such a dramastic change to the 2010 Mustang? Yes, i do like them but I dont think they'll sell like you think they will because of the rearend...I know its the future but you've gone too far, sexy sexy car in the GT500 package, even a Camaro forum says its beautiful, be I cant get past that rearend...You would have been better off with the S197 body style with A few cosmetic changes.
2010 Camaro
Dear GM,
Your Camaro has stolen my heart, its wierd because I'm a Ford man hands down...but you've done it this time....there is no problem with this car....just please have ABL (Ambient Lightning) on the first Batch of Camaros, Congrats on Transformers 2 and the Camaro being in it, I just cant get past Dale Jr.'s Camaro...its hiddeous..
