Default Corvette Magazine on the ZR-1..

The latest issue of Corvette Magazine, page 71 says "...there are brand-new $25,000 sedans now that can outrun a ZR-1..."
Hmmmmm. I can't think of even one that can come close, can you?

I'd like to see the list of those $25k cars. I know that there are sedans out there now that can beat a ZR-1, but they're around $100k.

If there is a corvette magazine out there that is actually printing this, vette owners every where should cancel their subscription. Because if their so called $25k sedan can beat a ZR-1, it will also beat any current vette aswell.

They must be sedans from hell to run and outrun A ZR1.

Just wrote to the editors, asking for a list of the aforementioned sedans.
We'll see what they have to say....

Not the first time either. The ZR-1 has always gotten a bad report from magazines, mostly because they are in the business of selling cars weather they admit it or not, and it pretty much started as soon as it was known that ZR-1 production was coming to an end. People who have owned them or have run against them know better if they are truly a sports car enthusiast. If you ask me, the ZR-1 will never get the respect it deserves untill people are made aware of what makes a ZR-1 so special. In my book it's the fact that it will exceed speeds over 180 mph and do it all day long with complete reliability.

THAT'S IT, I'VE HAD IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm writing my congressman to stop this proliferation of untruths and outright scandlous behavior of those in the press toward the KOTH. I mean, I'm all for freedom of the press/speach... but such comments which attempt to place the legendary ZR1 on anything other than an untouchable platinum pedestal is libel blasphemy in its highest form, and I for one will not stand for it!!!! Are you guys with me? I suggest you all do the same as me and write your senators and congressmen in order to start a movement to amend the Constitution as it relates specifically to the ZR1!!!... It's an uphill battle, but there is strength in numbers and this movement will obviously receive urgent congressional support it needs to easily pass!!!

Come on... Let's go!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tony,
Have you ever considered just shuting up about your annoying views/posts about what you feel is the less then inferior ZR-1 and go back to the "viper board".

No, I've just been experimenting by cutting my dosage in half (drugs are expensive you know... this ain't Canada)).. Perhaps I need to go the other way....
