Exotic Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 is at pinnacle of engineering and style

 
Thousands of people felt the thrill as Justin Verlander closed in on a no-hitter for the Tigers in 2007. Four years earlier, I was among a handful listening as a kid named Josh Ritter unslung his guitar and played his song "Kathleen" under an oak tree in a park near Austin, Texas. In both cases, anyone present knew they would remember the moment.

A few thousand owners will get the same tingle -- this is the real deal -- when they start the 638-horsepower V8 under the carbon-fiber hood of the new Chevrolet Corvette ZR1.
