Vehicle Description
In 2007, as rumors began to leak about Chevrolet's next Corvette
super car, insiders began referring to the project as "Blue Devil".
And after checking out the fruit of their labor, this sweet 2009
ZR1, one can't help but think it's a perfectly fitting name. With
classic good looks that combine the perfect amount of American
attitude with the perfect amount of European class, the car is
deceptively sophisticated. With its race-bred chassis and 1g of
lateral grip, the car is exceptionally tempting. And with its 638
horsepower V8 and a claimed 205 MPH top speed, the car is
absolutely evil! So, if you're looking for a low-mileage super car
that places proven performance over perceived prestige, you've come
to the right place!
PAINT AND BODYWORK
This brutal slice of American ingenuity has logged only 1,451 miles
since rolling out of the showroom and features a slick coat of
Black two-stage that's every bit as sinister as it is
sophisticated. Paint technology has certainly come a long way since
the days of mismatched Volkswagens and flat luster muscle cars. And
this Corvette's smooth composite body and showroom fresh finish are
the products of an intensive five-stage process that's executed
start-to-finish at GM's Bowling Green assembly plant. The result is
one spectacular showroom-fresh package that's virtually flawless
all the way from the car's functional scoops to its carbon fiber
treatments and ZR1 badging. This is a top-notch super car that was
built from day one to run with the finest exotics on earth!
DRIVETRAIN AND CHASSIS
Unlike its Lotus influenced predecessor the C6 ZR1 relies on a
proven Eaton supercharger and a good 'ole fashioned overhead valve
Chevrolet small block to turn smooth 9 to 1 compression into a
Ferrari flattening 638 horsepower and a Lamborghini slaying 604
lb./ft. of torque! Derived from the very successful Corvette C6R
racing program, and hand-assembled at GM's Performance Build Center
in Wixom, Michigan, this car's mighty LS9 V8 incorporates specialty
processes typically seen in racing engines to produce a highly
refined and precise driving experience. The foundation for the
car's incredible performance is a brand new aluminum engine block
that utilizes pressed in cylinder liners to accommodate added
pressure from a positive-displacement, roots type supercharger.
Team Corvette's influence continues underneath the car where a
familiar aluminum body structure hangs one-piece hydroformed
perimeter rails and a carbon composite floor over a high capacity
dual-disc clutch, a Tremec TR6060 6-speed transaxle, high capacity
axle shafts and one of the largest carbon ceramic drilled disc
brake systems offered on any production car. That transaxle
utilizes a track-level suspension that employs aluminum control
arms and independent short-long arms at every corner to optimize
ZR1-exclusive suspension tuning. Add in GM's Magnetic Selective
Ride Control and the whole package sums up to a no-excuses coupe
that offers a compliant driving experience, but still capable of
posting some of the fastest production vehicle times seen around
the N�rburgring.
INTERIOR
The leather-wrapped cockpit of this ZR1 is designed to be just as
comfortable during a daily commute as it is on track day thanks to
a $10K 3ZR Premium Equipment Group upgrade. Leather buckets boast
ZR1 embroidery and feature heated and ventilated operation, as well
as power adjustable lumbar and side bolsters with memory settings.
Those buckets face a leather-wrapped dash that hosts ZR1-branded
gauges with a 220 mph speedometer. Underneath the MP3 and XM
capable navigation unit is a thin console that props the manual
shifter. And the driver takes control through a leather-wrapped
steering wheel on a tilting a telescoping column.
With a platform that was setting the bar for super car performance,
and aesthetics that are some of the best designs to come out of
Bowling Green; the C6 ZR1 has forged its significance in Corvette
history. Don't miss your opportunity to capture one of the most
iconic Corvettes ever produced. Give us a call and schedule your
