Detroit 2008: Corvette of the century

Tired of being passive aggressive and ready to be just plain old aggressive? Here are the keys to the long-rumored super-Vette -- also known as the Blue Devil -- the Corvette ZR1. Powered by a supercharged race-tuned 6.2-liter V-8 churning 620 horsepower and 595 pound-feet or torque, the Ferrari-from-Warren boasts other big numbers too, like 20-inch wheels, foot-wide rear tires, 15.5-inch carbon ceramic brakes, a top speed of more than 200 mph and a price expected to top $100,000. Which, oddly enough, would make it the most irresistible sports car deal of the still-young century.

I met a proud '08 Vette owner today. What he loves most about this car is how much his wife hates it.
