I have always liked italian cars more than german cars. I have driven the f430 and gallardo and hey are insane so I was thinking getting a used one.

BUT, the other day I drove the corvette z06 and was blown away...so I did a little research and the corvette ZR1 just came out and it is 100k brand new and is a BEAST. 640HP...

I was inclined to italian or german ( AMGs ) but the ZR1 is growing on me.

anybody driven the ZR1?

yeah but i NEED a crazy, out of this world, ridiculous speed, performance.... can an AMG deliver that over the top feeling the ZR1 deliveries? forget about the interior creature comforts, i want adrenaline.

tough decision, and for what the ZR1 can do the price is a joke
 
Go with the ZR1. Depending on where you live, chances are better that you have a decent Chevy dealer that is local with trained mechanics - much easier logistically for service and maintenance.
 
yeah man if your just looking for Gforces and adrenaline and could care less about creature comforts the ZR1 has more power than some 'supercars' that are twice the price

"Remember.. anyone who wants the vette.. your have to put up with owners who think direct exhaust injection is a valid and resonable way to turbo a car.
Viper owners.. well.. they're just cocky and if they've got have an ounce of sense, have their will already made out and keep a copy in the glovebox.. "

But the viper has this really wide and aggressive look. cant go wrong with either really.
 
leasing is good if you change your cars every 3 years and don't want the hassle to sell it later on.
 
Viper looks good... a bit over the top in the exterior design IMO and the interior is even more plastic than the ZR1... but nice nevertheless...
 
I'm actually looking at leasing a 2010 Jaguar XFR right now. Not 600+ HP but 510 HP and more of a daily driver as well. I went and looked at one a couple of days ago at the dealership and they are fucking swwweeet, way better in person. And you don't see them driving down the road at every street corner. Price, $80K fully loaded.

I would get a used Lamborghini Gallardo for $100k over a Chevrolet Corvette for $100k.

Did it ever cross your mind that perhaps maintenance and parts are a fuckload more expansive for a Lamborghini than a Chevy?
