Worried about the interior.... look here:









by Caravaggio... located in Ontario

the biggest problem with the C5/C6 Vettes are the seats though. Very comfortable, but not much lateral support.

It would cost just as much as what the Italians charge for their cars?

You say its just a Corvette.... what do you drive again? I don't know about you, but I write my own checks...

A Ferrari F430 (an awesome car) can reach over $200,000. A ZR1 will cost $100,000 and will have performance that rivals (I won't say beat, though its kinda obvious) a $600,000 Enzo.

That would be like someone comparing a 1991 NSX and a 1991 348 GTS and saying "I'd still get the Ferrari even though its inferior in almost every way, because the NSX is still a Honda"

Whoa there no need to get so defensive. I was responding to "It would cost just as much as what the Italians charge for their cars?"...meaning that with that kinda of nice looking (and $$$$$ expensive) interior, it would cost as much as an Italian exotic, but it would still be a ZR1 (aka a high performance Corvette). I didn't say "ZR1 is teh GHEY!!!", I just said that it would cost as much an exotic, but it would still at heart be a ~47k car, (obviously this is the price for a base Corvette which looks different and perfomance-wise doesn't compare at all). For comparison an F430 starts out around 200k (not sure exact price) and goes up from there.


Cliff notes:
-I'm not saying the ZR1 sucks (it doesn't)
-A ZR1 is still no exotic (yes it beats exotics performance-wise), likewise I don't consider a GTR or an NSX an exotic fyi

And actually I would buy a 1991 Ferrari 348 GTS over a 1991 NSX, not because an NSX is a Honda, but because vintage Ferraris are amazing. Sure an NSX may be a better car, but no one buys a vintage Ferrari (except maybe an F40...amazing beast) for the performance anyways.
