GM’s 205 mph (330 km/h) Corvette ZR1 will arrive at Chevy’s dealerships carrying a price tag of $103,300 including $850 destination charge. Just to refresh your memory, the ZR1 is equipped with a 640Hp supercharged V8 engine making it the fastest Corvette ever produced. It sprints from 0 to 60 mph (96km/h) in 3.4 sec while it covers the quarter-mile in 11.3 sec at 131 mph.

It sounds totally out of place, but GM’s official press release states that according to “fueleconomy.gov”, the ZR1's EPA-rated 14 city and 20 highway mileage ratings beat 2008 competitors such as the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano (11 city / 15 highway); the Lamborghini Murcielago (8 city / 13 highway) and the Aston Martin V8 Vantage (12 city / 19 highway). They're competitive with the Dodge Viper (13 city / 22 highway) and the Porsche 911 GT3 (15 city / 22 highway). But honestly now; who cares about EPA ratings when it comes to buying a supercar? -Continued
