2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1

Description

The 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 was the debut year for this 200+ mph instant classic. So if you missed out on your opportunity to get one new, this all-black ultra-low mileage example is your rare second chance.

Black on this ZR1 is the perfect color to be stealthy. Well, ok, there's no way you can fly under the radar in this supercar. After all, the bold presence is even functional with the widebody configuration that was engineered to channel air all around the coupe. The idea is to keep everything cool even when this supercar is at its 205 mph top speed. But this factory black is a lot more elegant than a wild neon hue that some overcompensating exotics have to wear. Plus, the color is great to go with carbon fiber elements like the fixed roof section and special body kit. And against these dark colors are a tasteful blue. This received the special Blue Devil motor, and so this one hints at it nicely everywhere from the brake calipers to the engine cover viewed through the plexiglass window.

The dark and premium feeing continues inside. This is a modern performance machine, which means there are plenty of modern conveniences inside. It starts with the ZR1 specific supple leather power seats. These are engineered by people who know how to keep you from sliding around in the corners while still being all-day comfortable. So while the ZR1 qualifies as a true supercar, it also has all the right features to be a true grand touring machine. It includes a long list of desirable luxury features, including dual zone climate control, power windows, power locks, keyless entry/ignition, heated seats, cruise control, and an AM/FM/CD/XM infotainment system with satellite navigation. And the head-up display is especially nice to have when it's time to drive this ZR1 to its fullest. A modern classic also gets modern safety features such as dual front airbags, side airbags, and ABS.

The core of what makes the ZR1 so special is its original 6.2-liter supercharged LS9 V8. You get a perfect view of this 638 horsepower monster through the plexiglass opening in the specially constructed hood. That little window containing the beast is the perfect metaphor for this car. It has amazing power, but this Corvette has been perfectly contained for everyday use. Its adaptability is the product of years of testing by GM's engineers to make sure that this ZR1 would be a legend from the moment it hit the road. Just one downshift of the six-speed manual transmission, and you feel the Blue Devil come to life. It howls with excitement, and GM's magnetic ride control adapts to the pavement from the moment the highway becomes your favorite backroad. And when it comes time to stop, carbon ceramic four-wheel disc brakes and Michelin Pilot Sport tires keep you in complete control.

Complete with owner's manual packet, this is your fleeting opportunity to get a deal on a low-mileage supercar whose legend grows larger every day. Don't miss out, call today!
