2009-Chevrolet-Corvette-ZR1- Yahoo! Autos Article Page (http://autos.yahoo.com/articles/autos_content_landing_pages/590/2009-chevrolet-corvette-zr1;_ylc=X3oDMTE5aWEyOTV1BF9TAzI3MTYxNDkEc2VjA2ZwL XRvZGF5BHNsawMyMDA5LWNvcnZldHRl)

It's the $800 dstination charge that's really bothering me. That's it! I'm not buying one.

I might sneak into the showroom and when no one is looking, I might surreptitiously lick it a little though.

edit: Wow, I wrote those lines about two hours ago and went to Wikipedia (http://www.wikipedia.org), to make certain I was spelling 'surreptitiously', right. Surreptitous was not in the dictionary so I added it (it's really hard to find a schwa! The little upside down ə that has the flat eh sound). While I was there, I added my article on the collapsing universe. Whew.

It's a pretty slick car, if I had the cash I would consider it, but would also look at what Porsche might have to offer or might even consider spending a bit more on a Ferarri.

Big thing the Vette has going for it is the easy modability and large market for it. Porsche I know you have Ruf that does stuff but not sure of anyone outside of that and I haven't heard of many modded Ferarri's either.

It's actually a roots supercharger with a new 4 rotor design instead of the traditional 3. It's efficiency is close to a twin screw but still not *quite* there. Badass none-the-less!!

If a dealer had one here in Spokane or vicinity, I might be tempted to lick it too! :D

Yeah, I'd give Eric's Mom's first born kid for that car.

I'll order two and you can have one of mine.

Pff.
