Want to be the first with Chevy’s new Corvette ZR1? Start booking a flight to Scottsdale. Not to leave well enough alone by offering the first production Dodge Challenger at its upcoming January auction, Barrett-Jackson’s gone one further by putting the first “retailable” ZR1 up for grabs.
We’ve seen both the price premium the ZR1 demands over a “normal” Z06, and we’re certainly no strangers to the bidding frenzy that’s become standard fare at auctions like this - so we wonder what the opportunity to own the first LS9-powered Corvette is worth to someone with too much disposable income. Thankfully, all that excess cost won’t go entirely to waste;
Still, as much as we like what the ZR1 offers, we think waiting for one may be a better choice than to deplete your life savings for the first - but what say you? Can you wait for the new super Vette? If not, what’s the title of owning the first car worth to you? Sound off below.
