Best Dream Car Over $75,000: 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1

Was there really any doubt? Ever since it was announced late last year – heck, since it's been rumored for more than a couple years – the coming of the 2009 Chevrolet Corvette has been widely anticipated by enthusiasts. It was worth it. Chevrolet has thrown all it has at the 2009 Corvette ZR1, and it delivers with 638 horsepower, handling that defies conventional thinking, and a ride that's actually comfortable enough that the ZR1 can be driven daily. Is any Chevy -- even a Chevy Corvette -- worth more than $100,000? This one sure as heck is.
