That ZR1 Price sheet is almost 2 year old data.

After the NEW Zr1 pops out and is actually IN show rooms, then maybe the collectable stance of the 90-94s will be better. Right now my father-in-law is sitting on his 90' car number 3xx and cant get a decent offer on it.

sad times for selling a car right now, 638hp or not.

General Motors has just released the pricing and performance numbers for the most exotic production Corvette to date, the 2009 ZR1.

For a mere $103,300 (plus the $1,700 gas guzzler tax), the ZR1’s hand-built supercharged 6.2-liter LS9 V-8 will rip you from 0 to 60 mph in a Ferrari-chomping 3.4 seconds, reach 100 mph in 7 seconds and tear through the quarter mile in 11.3 seconds at 131 mph. At that speed, the über-Corvette still has 74 mph in reserve! All the while, this car will still get 20 mpg on the highway.

“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, the Corvette chief engineer. “Of course, on a racetrack, drivers of competitors’ cars may appreciate the ZR1 in a whole different manner.” “The ZR1 is an incredible machine by any measure,” added Ed Peper, the North American vice president of Chevrolet. “There's simply no other vehicle in the world that does a better job of balancing performance, price and fuel economy.”

" Of Chevrolet's 3,932 dealers nationwide, just 338 are getting a crack at selling the ZR1. GM is basing the tight allocation on those who have high-volume total retail sales and sell a lot of Corvettes. "
