You guys have peaked my curiousity. What new cars would you guys get for $100k if cross shopping the zr1? 911S?

[QUOTE=scottrunsxc,Jun 16 2008, 08:49 AM] Viper is the only thing even remotely close that I can think of and the vette will run circles around it in every test you can come up with.

Great price point from a performance standpoint since nothing can touch it for the money, but I personally wouldn't shell out that much money for a Corvette.
Call me a snob or whatever, but I would rather have GM put the package together into a different car, still a 2 seater, but something other than a Corvette to open up the market from buyers of other car makers and I don't mean Caddy (XLR) either, something different.
For $100k + I personally would want something with a little more prestige associated with it other than a Corvette.
Just my opinion, of course. Flamesuit on.

I'm sure it will be easy to tune to over 1000 hp relably so you can be in Veyron territory at probably 150k or less invested.
50-220 acceleration maybe... Anything else and the corvette will struggle with traction and aerodynamics instability. The car isn't designed to be stable at 250mph... SSC Aero is a perfect example of what you're getting at.
There's a lot to be said about the refinement the Veyron has and with the ease and stability it attains its speeds. It's not as simple as adding horsepower is what I'm saying.

With the Z06 at 75K and the Z-R1 at 103K it makes you wonder what Ford is thinking asking 80k for the GT500 KR

ACR costs about the same. I don't see the ZR-1 running circles around it on a road course. I'm sure the the ZR1 will be faster in accel and drag racing tests.
And markups are already crazy. The ACR can be had for MSRP or lower already. The standard Viper can be had for way under MSRP.
