"The blogosphere is blowing up this morning with word that GM has a prototype of its upcoming 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 in Monterey, California for the last race of the Amercian Le Mans Series season at Laguna Seca Raceway. Even juicier is the rumor that the ZR1 will be doing demonstration laps at some point over the weekend. If that's the case, it should be quite a show, as the ZR1 is slated to produce some 650 horsepower."
I just got off the phone with my mom. At this moment, my parents are in the Corvette tent at Laguna Seca. Mom has been instructed to look for the Zr-1 and has both digital and film cameras at the ready.
If the video wasnt edited (time wise) and adding 7 seconds to the total (because it lap time recorded from a standstill like it did); I estimate 1 minute and 44 second lap time. That's bad ass.
I hope someone can get some real numbers (from records).
The black top is a really nice way to distinguish it as the top dog, and I think it would look great with a variety of colors - blue, red, white, yellow, etc. Can't say much about the spoiler as I don't see it very well.
Also, I'm not liking the hood decoration. I've always liked Vipers with racing stripes and Corvettes with no such fancy stuff, and this one would look mean as all hell with a clean hood and that black top.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the hood decoration is more to hide the more pronounced hump in the hood and less of an indication of an actual production paint scheme.

Wow, so my guess at the wheel sizes is 19x9½ and 20x12
That sure looks like the supercharged LS9 engine to me!
Looks like a production engine cover on it even!!
