Preservation plays a significant role in the world of Corvette desirability, and this remarkable 2009 Corvette ZR1—a huge trendsetter in its own right—has had only one owner and shows just 6 original miles since new. Indeed, this vehicle still has its dealer-prep plastic intact and the window sticker affixed, a literal time capsule of one of America’s most important production automobiles. “Chevrolet’s goal with the new ZR1 is to show what an American supercar can deliver,” Chevrolet General Manager Ed Peper said during the development time leading up to this car’s release.
In the minds of many to this day, the result was an amazing blend of innovations, which in turn delivered the most powerful and fastest automobile ever produced by General Motors to that time. This Corvette is one of the 502 ZR1s produced in Cyber Gray Metallic for 2009, with the original ground effects never installed, still wrapped in factory plastic. Under the hood is the supercharged and intercooled 6.2L/638 HP LS9 engine with dry-sump lubrication and stainless 4-inch exhaust, the forerunner of today’s tremendous factory horsepower wars. This revolutionary engine is backed by a 6-speed manual transmission with a twin-disc clutch, engineered for the LS9’s power potential.
This as-new Corvette features an aluminum frame with Selective Magnetic Ride Control, 4-wheel independent suspension and Brembo carbon-ceramic disc brakes, all supercar-type appointments. On the outside is the raised carbon-fiber hood with polycarbonate window. The interior is in Dark Titanium, and among the amenities are the 1SD Preferred Equipment Group, heated sport bucket seats, Bluetooth connectivity, the Bose premium stereo, Memory package and dual-zone climate control. The optional chrome-aluminum wheels and Michelin Pilot Sport tires complete the look of unadulterated performance and quality.
The ZR1 Corvette achieved true greatness, yet the question is how many remain in the condition of the example here today. If the desire of as-new conditioning is what drives certain collectors, becoming this Corvette’s second owner is sure to satisfy that need.
