2009 ZR1 Review in WSJ

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123448006442779627.html

Not that the Evo has a great interior, but it doesn't come with a $106K sticker price either.

No doubt Vette's don't have Porsche interiors, nor do they have a Porsche price tag. The seats suck the rest I'm okay with.

45K for C6 z51- great bang for buck
65K for Z06- best bang for buck I don't care what C&D says
120K for ZR-1-least bang for buck until markup goes down

Either way one of the best cars in the world for the money and the article sucks. Funny how C&D (they suck too) said the leather options are the only ones that make the interior worth anything and WSJ says it's crap.

So far the ZR-1 has run 10's@136 with a pulley, exhaust, and tune with much more to come I'm sure. Still a Z06 fan hence forth why I'm buying one.

I actually agree with mostr of what is being said in the news article. My Z06 has a Nav option that cost $1750 or $1800, too much in my book, It had some oem chrome rims that were worth $1995(Absurd), again, too much for an optional chrome rim. I traded my oem Chrome rims for the stock ones then I later powder coated them.

Anyways, the magazines are making a point, there are more cheaper cars with better interior quality, I don't like the looks of my steering wheel, it does the job but I personally don't like it much but you have other choices, you can go an buy a Lotus Elise with a S/C package and you will hate having to pay $60k for a car that looks plain and simple inside(lacking of comfort).

stock z06 on slicks 10.99. sounds like the best bang for your buck.. have a car under warranty and run 10s. not to mention your driving something that 50year old men would kill a man for.

ZR1 apparently drives a lot more civil than the Z06 even with all the extras and power. It is a little overpriced though.
