ZR1 Review
Dan Neil is a Pulitzer Prize winning automotive journalist that I have had the pleasure of reading since he came to the L.A. Times three years ago, and I wanted to turn you guys on his descriptive and eloquent writing style.

'Now the four-lobe Eaton supercharger is fully angered, the gas is pouring down the V8 gullet, and the exhaust flaps are wide open. Can you hear me now? In 8 seconds -- long, loud, delirious seconds with a soundtrack from every NASCAR movie ever made -- you're in three-digit territory."

You just gotta love this:
"It's around here I discovered a fascinating thing. If you punch the throttle at the top of third gear, around 6,500 rpm, where all 638 supercharged horses live, you can well and truly break the rear tires loose. Oh. My. God."
That one line describes the best fun in the world today!

"What you would do is line up the ZR1 on some empty straight of tarmac and nail the throttle. To do so is to throw yourself on a horsepower grenade."
EPIC! Pulitzer well deserved.
