		<description><![CDATA[The Corvette is a performance vehicle ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Corvette is a performance vehicle that has been an enduring icon. In it&#8217;s current generation, GM has chosen to take the car even beyond it&#8217;s usual level of performance. Normally the Z06 has been the highest-end Corvette model. Enthusiasts wanted more though and GM saw the money-making (and image making) potential of giving it to them.</p>
<p>Blue Flame, SS &#8211; many names were thrown around, with the result being ZR1. ZR1 is a name that has been used for two generations of Corvette production, C3 and C4 (current generation is C6). I never thought SS would be a good one &#8211; Chevrolet has devalued the performance value of the name with all the undeserving cars it is has stuck the badge on.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.carthrottle.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/HennesseyCorvetteZ700FrontView.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-7150" src="http://www.carthrottle.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/HennesseyCorvetteZ700FrontView-540x337.jpg" alt="HennesseyCorvetteZ700FrontView" width="540" height="337" /></a></p>
<p>With that as the backdrop, the Corvette ZR1 was introduced, packing an incredible 638 horsepower that made it the most powerful Corvette to date. Apparently, Hennessey thinks that isn&#8217;t enough. Enter the Z700, a package that boosts the car&#8217;s horsepower to an even more outrageous 705! That&#8217;s not all, two more packages the Z750 and Z1000 are available that boost horsepower to 750 and 1000, respectively. This is the Corvette for those who enough is <em>never enough</em>.</p>
<p>In addition, the Z700 includes carbon fiber wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires that reduce rotating weight by nearly 60 pounds. Other carbon fiber components include Hennessey&#8217;s Z-Aero Carbon fiber front splitter, canards and rear spiler that over 300 lbs of down force. Inside gets carbon fiber (noticing a trend?) seats, and an Alcantara steering wheel and shift knob.</p>
<p>All that can be yours for only $207,150. Ouch! Hennessey plans to produce only 24 copies of the Z2700 for the 2010 model year and is giving a go at breaking the Z71&#8242;s Nürburgring lap time of 7:26. Stay tuned!</p>
