wow, out of all the badges they could have slapped on the side, I'm glad they went with ZR1!

but...

Price will be much higher than the 505-horsepower Z06

What would we be talking about here? Should be comparable to the viper which is mid 80's isn't it?

Rumor has it that the new Z06s are going to be SC LS7s.

I'm guessing if this vette is gonna cost more than the z06 then Gm probably not gonna make as many of them.
