The 755 hp 2019 ZR1 unicorn is the fastest Corvette to date (the C8 variants out in the spring will likely equal or exceed the 2019 ZR1) with a top speed of 212 mph and a 0-60 run in 2.8 seconds. Supercar fast. The Corvette team chief called this Corvette “the most we know how to do” according to this Car and Driver review. Corvette folks know tons more than me about ZR1’s. I love watching Corvette’s whoop far more exotic and expensive cars at Le Mans and Daytona but have given up on owning one – at 6’4″ I just don’t fit behind the wheel.



As an aside, the most expensive CarMax car I’ve seen before this ZR1 was an almost new 2017 Mercedes AMG GT with only 2,000 miles on it. Listed for $114,998 and over a couple of weeks dropped regularly in price and may have finally sold for $104,998. Here’s the link to that saga. We shall see how long this Corvette stays on the market.



This single-owner, low mileage (5,000) hot rod is still under Chevrolet’s warranty for another 31,000 miles and 24 months or so. I would still spring for MaxCare – a car like this needs to be driven hard and fast. That’s what it was engineered for. No need to tell CarMax about your track days when you blow it up. On the other hand if you can afford a $120,000 car maybe you can afford the repairs. Find this ZR1 here in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

Surprised to see this 2020 Chevrolet Corvette C8

 In San Francisco we have this gorgeous 2017 Volvo S90 T6 Inscription. Thought this was a striking design inside and out from the start. Willing to tolerate the 2.0 liter turbo four cylinder since it puts out 316hp since the car is so good looking – and AWD!
Planning to do a piece soon on CarMax unicorns with ridiculously low miles and thinking this one may not be around that long. A 2015 Camaro with only 332 miles on the odometer. 
Called the Tupelo dealer to verify. Unfortunately they couldn’t produce the MaxCare numbers. It’s only a 323 HP six cylinder, but it’s got a manual transmission, it’s a sunshiny Yellow, and damned near new for a four year old car. Find it 
….and I want you for all time. This adorable 2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS


The lone BMW M760 is a beautiful, big sedan that squeaks in at 601hp from a 6.6 liter twin-turbo V-12. This is the motor Rolls Royce uses in the Ghost and Wraith, I’ve learned. If you’ve been here before, you know I have a thing for V-12’s. (Check out my S600 with a measley 510hp
No, I don’t get a commission. Just wanted to share that a kind reader told me he bought this
The engine is the 2.0 liter turbo with 260hp, shared with the Pontiac Solstice and Saturn Sky before they went belly up, and the suspension has been tuned to handle far better than a vanilla HHR. Even has a boost gauge in the A-pillar like the kids have! The mid-six second 0-60 mph time ain’t that impressive and yet the reviewers all seem to dig this box. So do I. I’m trying to resist calling my son in Portland and asking him to go get it for me. If none of you do in the next 24 hours I just might. Make a nice little commuter vehicle for me!
The car sold for about $24,000 in 2008. There are 59 of these on Car Guru right now, almost all cheaper, and almost all have tons of miles. Only one has less miles at this price. Oddly, it’s an hour away from me. But it wouldnt have the coveted
Check this out – it’s a one-owner car and was originally sold in Florida, spent some time in California, and is now in Washington. If I bring it to the East Coast it will have done its own One Lap of America.  Find it 
Okay, there were 500 2008 Corvette Indy 500 Pace Car replicas sold by Chevrolet, butaccording to the pace car registry only 148 had a manual transmission, and of those
