Kiadaw 6th Gear December 23, 2007 Share December 23, 2007 An American beauty. More Picture & source here. http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/21/ed-pepe...ctors-bring-it/ GM thinks that the Corvette ZR1 is pretty much the baddest machine on four wheels, period. This was driven home today in a post on the Fastlane Blog by Chevy general manager Ed Peper. Seeing him advocate his brand's (and GM's) flagship is far from surprising, and as he rattles off the car's positives, it seems like pretty standard-issue public relations fare. It's only as he wraps up that he seems to get a little exercised over some folks' habit of turning all Corvette-related conversations into pushroad vs. overhead-cam arguments. In response, he namechecks some very heavy hitters -- the Porsche 911 GT2, the Ferrari 599 GTB, and the Lambo LP640 -- as he casually pulls the gloves off, matter-of-factly stating that the ZR1 has a better power-to-weight ratio than all of them. Then, in his parting shot, he dons the brass knuckles and calls out any and all comers who would challenge the Corvette ZR1's abilities with two simple words: "Bring it." You know what it is when this kind of smack talk starts flying around? It's fun. And we haven't even heard from Lutz yet. ---------------------------------------------- ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
