Leno’s New Baby… the ZR1
Late-night comedian and car collector extraordinaire Jay Leno recently purchased his newest automobile baby… the 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1! Leno claims to be a huge fan of all Corvette models. In fact, he has a portion of his garage solely dedicated to the Corvette! It is no surprise that he is proud to now own the most powerful vehicle manufactured by General Motors.
His new hot looking ride is coated in the new gray color coat protected over with a clear coat. The clear coating helps protect the paint from bleaching or cracking of the carbon fibers from the sun’s rays. This clear coat is estimated to cost nearly $60,000 per gallon! Wow!
Within the video link below, Leno gives a quick walk-around of the vehicle for all to view. It’s quite impressive to hear him explicitly point out every square inch of the vehicle, both outside and inside. Imagine the knowledge he carries with him over all his automobile babies! He then takes viewers for a short joy ride within the new ZR1.
Watch the video after the jump. No drooling allowed!

With Carl Edwards qualifying fourth and Jimmie Johnson starting 30th, there is a chance Jimmie could finish below 38th overall, with Edwards leading the most laps and winning the event to claim his first Sprint Cup National Title. But I really don’t see that happening. Johnsom isn’t going to be …

Le Mans Corvette Racing… Back On
The 2009 Le Mans Racing consists of twenty-four hours of racing within the city of Le Mans, France. This year marks the 77th annual Grand Prix of Endurance Racing for this event, set to begin on June 13, 2009.
News originally aired back in the beginning of December, mentioning that the Corvette Racing Team would not be in attendance at the Le Mans races due to the reduction of budgeting expenses. Instead, the team was told to focus mainly on the production of the GT2 Corvette.
However, Program Manager Doug Fehan still wants to end racing the GT1 Corvette in high standards and stats before the introduction of the ultimate Corvette GT2. Therefore, plans have dramatically flipped, and now the Corvette GT1 has been committed to Le Mans June racing. Despite the recent turn of events, conception plans for the GT2 have not been altered or put on hold. The vehicle’s production is still full throttle ahead. “Engineering and fabrication continues to focus on the GT2 program,” says Fehan. “We expect the first actual car to be completed in early February, and we will be testing that car in the spring.”
