Sports Car Rentals!
Corvette ZR1 hot lap video shows viewers why exotic car owners think renting the high end sports car for a day at the track or afternoon road rally can be hella fun --
If you are an exotic car fan who enjoys a day drive in sports cars or super cars, then considering spending an afternoon driving a Corvette ZR1 might be worth it.
The super sexy and sporty machine is a low cost American alternative to driving an expensive Italian supercar like a Ferrari or a Lamborghini.
If you are thinking about getting behind the wheel, here are the basic stats (excerpt from the Corvette Museum):
2009 Corvette ZR1
* All-new LS9 supercharged 6.2L V-8 targeted at producing at least 100 horsepower per liter, or 620 horsepower (462 kW), and approximately 595 lb.-ft. of torque (823 Nm)
* 4/25/2008: The supercharged 6.2-liter V8 in the forthcoming Chevy Corvette ZR1 cranks out 638 horsepower, 604 ft-lb torque. Top speed 205 mph.
* Six-speed, close-ratio, race-hardened manual transmission
* New, high-capacity dual-disc clutch
* Higher-capacity and specific-diameter axle half-shafts; enhanced torque tube
* Specific suspension tuning provides more than 1g cornering grip
* Twenty-spoke 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels
* Michelin Pilot Sport 2 tires – P285/30ZR19 in front and P335/25ZR20 in the rear – developed specifically for the ZR1
* Standard carbon-ceramic, drilled disc brake rotors – 15.5-inch-diameter (394-mm) in the front and 15-inch-diameter (380-mm) in the rear
* Larger brake calipers with substantially increased pad area
* Standard Magnetic Selective Ride Control with track-level suspension
* Wider, carbon-fiber front fenders with ZR1-specific dual vents
* Carbon-fiber hood with a raised, polycarbonate window – offering a view of the intercooler below it
* Carbon-fiber roof panel, roof bow, front fascia splitter and rocker moldings with clear-coated, exposed carbon-fiber weave
* ZR1-specific full-width rear spoiler with raised outboard sections
* Specific gauge cluster with boost gauge (also displayed on the head-up display) and 220-mph (370 km/h) speedometer readout
* Only two options: chrome wheels and a “luxury” package
* Curb weight of approximately 3,350 pounds (1,519 kg)
The ZR1 can come home permanently to your ultimate garages for roughly $110K new -- but for the same money, in this writers opinion to invest in a Ferrari that is a few years old, maybe has a few more daily driver miles than another, but is in mint condition and comes with ownership history and exemplary service is the better fiscal bargain.
