638hp is better then 505hp.

then you have to take in to account your finances.

if you can only comfortably afford a z06 then a z06 is better for you.
if you can comfortably afford a zr1 then a zr1 is better for you.

The ZR1's faster, but not at all liking the extra 200 lbs curb weight hanging over the front axle.

Default Z06 by far

You can do a few things to a $40k car and be just as fast as a ZR1 - try tweaking on the ZR1 and see where that gets ya.

Lets see - Supercharge a 7.0 engine or a 6.2 engine - which one is going to be better?

If you spent $8k on getting your Z06 supercharged, it would beat the ZR1.

I spent a few thousand and I am just as fast as a stock one.

Depends on the money you want to spend and what you want it for!!!

Are you like 8 years old? Even my 11 year old nephew knows that if money is no object, the ZR1 is the better car.

I take it back, you must be way younger than 8 years old since you obviously cannot type a logical reply. "You wish ZR1 is the same thing as Z06 in a way fool get your vette straight...."

What???

No, I own a Z06 and as I stated previously, "If money is no object, the ZR1 is the better car." I would gladly trade someone my Z06 for a ZR1.

Oh and if I do say so myself, my car is pretty sweet but would take a ZR1 without hesitation!



Go away you TROLL.
