Id say the hype has something to do with it........but in my case, I have actually been looking since the day I bought my 02Z06.......I wanted both, but could only do one at the time, so I bought the one I could just get in & drive. I know the ZR1 is a special vehicle & I wanted to do research on them & get to know them better before I owned one. Well, the time has come!!!

I'm sure Zora would be happy with all of this cross-talk.

I expect to see more when the "NEW ZR-1" hits the market.

I have mixed emotions, (no i don't, yes i do).
about, the new ZR1, i think the name will actually bring attention
to our cars and make them rise in value, but would have much
rather them waited for the special dual cam engine supposedly
coming out in 2009. I love all vette's personally, and am so pumped
that Frankie is gonna adopt me and buy me a new zr1.

What really surprises me, is how many people have no idea what a ZR1 even is. Even when I was a kid outta high school, I knew what the 90 Zr1 was (not totally, but I knew it was no "regular" Corvette)

What really surprised me at shows and cruise ins was how many teenagers knew about the KOTH.

I was stumped until my son told me that the Beast is found on many of the driver video games.

I've only found it on one current video game. (I'm a young one at 26, so I play LOTS of video games!)

There's a C4 ZR-1 in Project Gotham Racing 4 for the XBOX 360...

When I found a ZR-1 that I could afford, I told the dealer that they had to fix a few problems with the car before I would take delivery. It took them 2 weeks and that was EXCRUCIATING!

So for the entire time, I played PGR4 for hours with a black ZR-1 like the one I was waiting for.

Wait till they hear there are just as few C4 ZR-1 as there will be with the Blue Devil Gen.
