Alright well I guess not everyone can be happy.

It takes exponentially more horsepower to go faster, on top of the fact that it also reequires a lot of aerodynimc work to make sure the car will be stable and able to a high speed. The W-16 quad turbo in a UPS van isnt going anywhere.
Now, the question you sort of brought up is something I have questioned myself. Who buys a 100k Vette? I mean...I would, but in the 100k market place, there is a different ball game. I know the ZR1 will outperform 98% of the world's road going cars, but at 100k, it reaches a certain level where HP and good looks are just the entry fee. You need a lot for 100k, and you need exclustivity. Now, the ZR1 is very exclusive, but stand it next to 10 other Vettes, and that quickly goes away. Not knocking the Vette, but the pinache a car must have to see this 100k status is massive.
205mph...thats awesome to me. Ill never see that speed from behind the steering wheel. What is more astonishing to me is that the ZR1 will probably be one of the best performing vehicles out there...probably in the Top 10.
