Yep. Alot of performance for the $$$$.

[SeanPlunk]

For sure. I think less than 115k nothing currently being sold touches the ZR1 in overall performance.

I voted for the ZR1 but wanted to vote for the GT. I would take a GT over a ZR1 but you really can not argue about the straight from the showroom performance of the ZR1 and all the goo fast and stop fast goodies!

This is my favorite car!

Since I like sedans, I vote for the 2009-2010 Cadillac CTS-V. The car set the record for a stock sedan with stock tires at the Nuremberg Ring (an auto no less), besting the best BMW M, MB AMG, Jaguar R has to offer. Both new BMW M5 and MB AMG E class with both have twin turbo V8. I love and would take any of the cars listed above, but I don't think they have had as large an impact as the CTS-V has in the high performance world.

I want one in the blue. Want a bigger suprise? My second favorite car is an F430 Scuderia with the race tail on it like this.

We have sold three ZR1's and I think sticker was $116,000 and they sold for $140,000. Amazing car! I have had the pleasure of driving one and I may still be smiling from it. There is one in my shop currently having the clutch replaced for a recall.

You've been hanging out with enkeivette haven't you?

Well played sir.

+1 internets for you :rolling:

[SoCalC55]

FOrd GT most definitely

On paper[visually] the F430 looks much better vs the 458 to me. But that could all change once I see the 458 in person :huh:

[Fastback91]

Well seeing No one said this yet but

SHELBY ULTIMATE AERO!

[Vettezuki]

Well seeing No one said this yet but

SHELBY ULTIMATE AERO!

Meh. How many did they actually make and sell to customers. I'll grant, I think it actually holds the official Guiness record for fastest production car (top speed), but I'm not sure and way too lazy to check.

[BRUTAL64]

Guinness World RecordsTM verified today that Shelby SuperCars’ (SSC) Ultimate Aero is officially the "Fastest Production Car" in the world. This is the first time the production speed record title has been held by a United States auto manufacturer since the Ford GT40 claimed the record in 1967. Guinness’ strict testing procedure required the car to drive down the course, turn around, and make a second pass in the opposite direction within one hour. The vehicle’s official "top speed" was then calculated by averaging the top speeds of each pass in order to negate any favorable road or weather conditions. Driver Chuck Bigelow, 71, drove SSC’s Ultimate Aero on a stretch of highway 221, clocking 414.31 kph (257.44 mph) on the first pass and 410.24 kph (254.91 mph) on the second pass to yield an official record speed of 412.28 kph (256.18 mph). From data presented by Dewetron’s world-renowned data acquisition system, Guinness officials verified the official speed to be .52 kph (.32 mph) faster than SSC had originally noted. This breaks the current official record held by the Koenigsegg CCR at 388 kph by 24.28 kph (15.09 mph) and the Bugatti Veyron's unofficial speed of 408.47 kph by 5.84 kph (3.63 mph).

Wow, 3mph faster than the Veyron. I'll bet the guys at Shelby had their butt cheeks clenched when they were shooting the car with a radar.

[SoCalC55]

The SSC is far from a production car in comparison to the Veyron. Plus who would really do 240+ in that car... you'd feel like you were going to die... and you likely would
Meh.

Side note. The world record for speeding ticket is 240~ in a Koenigsegg in Texas.

Everytime I look at a picture of an Ultimate Aero all I can think of is that it has headlights from a Ford Focus :sm_up_there:
