+1, the X is a steal at those prices. That drops the X right into RA range. So if your money is being spent, do you go with better brakes, suspension, turbo, handling, tires, widebody, or do you just say, WTH, I just want a cushy ride and a high tech auto for the same money and forget the rest of it? I went with the X.

of course... what do u expect... M3's are running at 62k.... go check the dealer's price, around 68~70.... they always add some ridiculous markup price; heck, our local mitsu dealer has an MR in the showroom for 45k; my Ralliart cost me 27k out the door with some accessory upgrades, and it was marked at 31k ![lol](https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/images/smilies/lol.gif)
so amby's assumption that the ZR1's are running at/around 120k is a good one

Good luck finding the idiot in this economy to pay 20k over sticker for a car that is surely not flying off the lots right now. People with 100k to spend on a car are not uninformed, and chances are they are probably well networked. I disagree totally.

Oh, by the way, when the Corvette set its time there was a very strong headwind on the straight, so it is possible the Vette is faster than the time posted under better conditions. Same can be said of any track on any day, but it was a known issue with the time posted.
"The instant legend. Keep in mind, there was reportedly a strong headwind on the main straight, which could have actually slowed things down a bit. Could the ZR1 possibly set an even faster time in the future?"

This is great news, why do they HAVE to mark it MUCH MUCH higher? Why 120k then, why not 150k, or maybe even 200k? By the way, WE did not get ourselves into a crappy economy, a select few put us there.

I think you need to go to a dealer and get informed
Also, leave politics out of this; I posted what I posted about the economy not for you to reply on it; And I really doubt you want to argue with me on the subject

101 to-the-wheels horses difference and 550 pounds lighter, of course it'll kill the GT-R and by like what 2 seconds?
I don't think the ZR1 handles as good as the GT-R, even though it's got a lot of work on it's suspension... this time is all about whp and weight; the GT-R still got the AWD and twin-clutch. I barely miss a manual by now

Essentially the GT-R doesn't have better handling but that could be argued to the death; but remember the ZR1 is way beyond the GT-R, that's a Murcielago competitor, not a GT-R, the GT-R is still underpower (less than 500 horses and close to 4,00 pounds... a damn M5 cow has more than 500 horses) unlike the competence, but it still pulls out awesome numbers and beats half of them if not more; again, AWD advantage
there are a lot of reasons why some manufactures stick to RWD; and I assume one of them is to shave off weight which is always essential for a high-performance vehicle
