This is one of a series of pictures I took a ZR1 at the 2011 Spring Autocross event held by the Palm Springs Corvette Club. Pictures do not do this car justice.
The Chevrolet Corvette C6 ZR1 is a high performance version of the Chevrolet Corvette C6.
The ZR1 features blue badges, engine valve covers, and brake calipers. The hood contains a polycarbonate window which allows the intercooler to be viewable. Doors and rear body are from the 2008 Z06. A larger than previous model spoiler spans the top rear bumper. Functional fender vents provide engine cooling. The lettering "LS9 Supercharged" can be viewed on top of the plastic supercharger cover through the hood window.
The ZR1 engine is a heavily modified version of the LS3, designated the LS9. Producing 638 hp (476 kW) and 604 ft·lbf (819 N·m) of torque, it is the most powerful production Corvette to date. The LS9 has a sixth-generation Eaton TVS R2300 roots 4-lobe supercharger with intercoolers from Behr, utilizing an air-to-water, dual-brick design. The supercharger's four-lobe design offers improved efficiency over three-lobe models. To avoid changes to the hood appearance, the supercharger's output was split into two halves. Each cylinder bank has an intercooler.
Production vehicles are hand assembled in Bowling Green, Kentucky. The ZR1 engines are built at the General Motor Performance Build Center in Wixom, Michigan.

One of the coolest modern cars I've seen to date!! Feel free to comment, and please fave anything you like, I am just an amateur, so any constructive criticism is welcomed and appreciated.
This is a 2009 ZR1 Corvette. GM has not started production and they are only going to make 2,000 and sell them for $110,000. I talked to a GM rep and he said they have a waiting list. They were testing them in Danville VA at the VIR... I couldn't believe it, my dream car in my home town... I use to have a Corvette book that was written in 1980 and they projected this model and they were right, it looks exactly like they projected. There were 12 Corvettes at my Hotel and I was in total heaven, my wife got pissed off because I wanted to stay outside and take pics of them...LOL
