since they are gonna sell the Z06 and the ZR1 side by side, i concluded that the main difference was the supercharger and not much else not to bump the price so much.

in any way, i'd rather have more fun than just driving the wheels off the freaking thing so i'd buy a '73 454 Stingray for a third/quarter of the price. invest some more in a better/lighter interior, new but small sound system, overhaul the suspensions/brakes, larger wheels, lighter rims, intake/exhaust and some extra parts to get a bit more power. total: maybe 50k, about 475hp/425ft-lbs 3250lbs classic dailydriver that will be more than just good at the track
