ZR1 for me.....I don't want either one just to have it sit in a garage so I can look at it. I'm going to drive it and if that's the case, the ZR1 is the obvious choice.

If it was only going to be a weekend cruiser, I'd take the '67.

But, if it is for anything else, I'd want the ZR1.....absolutely no question.

I voted for the ZR1.

Dependable, comfortable, gas readily available, creature comforts, fastest GM car ever, handling.....bottom line? More practical.

I'd love to have them both but the ZR edges out the 67 because of the advances in high tech, speed and comfort.

I love my C6 but you are asking the one question that has no option for me.

Hands down the 67 427.

These are two different cars with two different purposes. The 67 is a show car that is probably won't be driven much and the ZR1 was meant to drive and drive hard. I would take the ZR1 any day.

And at least you don't have to spend a fortune on an aftermarket exhaust to make it sound like it means business!

I can't say I've driven a ZR1 yet but I can say I've driven 600 HP rat motors. I like them and always will.

I'd take the 427 just for the old fashioned torque curve.

The classic is an old man's memory. My dad had one, so it might be special to him, but to me, I'm looking at function and performance. the new one please.

Good point, but...do you know how many 90 to 95 ZR-1's were stored in hopes of making big money in the future? And I'm willing to bet that many new ZR1's will be put to bed in the hopes that it will make them big money in the future.

The other thing to consider is a 1967 fully restored 427 Vette is rising in price vs. a 2010 ZR1 that will only go down in price.

Remember I'm just playing devil's advocate. If you already have a DD C5 or C6 -which car would you like to have as a second Vette in your garage?
