Interesting on the bluetooth. I honestly wondered why my 08 didn't have bluetoth and installed a parrot kit. Hell, in many states talking on a car phone without BT would be illegal.
Anyways, I purchased my car and as I was finalizing the delivery experience immediately realized why these cars do not come with such a common feature like BT. It's the damned OnStar crap. The onstar person immediately tried to sell me minutes.
GM doesn't want you using YOUR phone in your new corvette, they want you using THEIRS!
damn them.

There is going be something called the ZR1 for 2009. which I have heard NOTHING about. I think that it has something different on top the engine, but I don't know what that is going to be...and I think there is going to be a new silver that I have not seen on the ZR1 either........
Oh, and the ZR1 is going to be available at huge dealer discounts.......

I seriously doubt that. A new color? Sure. Maybe bluetooth since we've seen the steering wheel with BT controls on it? Sure. No IPOD interface - they're putting that off until the second coming. No new brakes (the ZR-1 gets those $10k puppies). No new power, and I would doubt new seats.
