According to GM, the number of dealers set to receive the new ZR1 will be limited to only 338 dealers, out of 3,932 nation-wide. Only those dealers with the highest proven Corvette sales records will be included in those 338. Even those dealers that were picked are expected to receive only one or two cars each.

Dealers have already been receiving hundreds of orders for the new ZR1, with a $105,000 price tag. The lucky ones that are fortunate enough to take delivery of a new ZR1 will be able to take pride in their new ride knowing that they are driving the fastest production Corvette ever made. This car boasts a 0-60 time of a scorching 3.4 seconds and a proven top speed of 205mph.

One of the major reasons most dealers have missed out on being included is because those that were included will have to pay for special training and equipment to be able to service the car, something many smaller dealers cannot afford.

While GM has not released official production numbers for the ZR1, it can be assured that it will be a small number to maintain exclusivity.

 Perhaps the most anticipated event on a luxury car enthusiast calendar is the release of a new X series Jaguar. While beautiful and luxurious, the lines of the Jag has went virtually unchanged over the past few years. For 2009 Jaguar dropped the old lines of the X series and completely redesigned the new XF in an attempt to set a bold statement that Jaguar is the definition of luxury and style for a new era of luxury car enthusiast.

 Styling and functionality are top priorities in the XF. Just a quick glance inside will tell you just how much went into designing the interior of this magnificent car. Press the start button and the gear selector knob rises from the console to give you total control of the JaguarDrive system, and hidden air conditioning and heat ducts open automatically. Satellite navigation and a redesigned center stack are also a part of the totally redone interior for the XF.

Jaguar doesn’t disappoint under the hood either, its 4.2 litre supercharged V8 produces 420 horsepower and 413 pound feet of torque. New for 09 as well is the refined ZF 6 speed automatic with steering wheel mounted shift paddles. Active suspension components and driver aide features make this one of the best handling and performing 4 door Jaguars to date. Getting the 4160 pound XF to 60 takes just 5 seconds, while covering the 1/4 mile takes just 13.4 seconds. Pretty impressive numbers from a 4 door luxury sedan. The new Jag is reportedly the last car designed under Ford ownership, and although it isn’t quite as impressive as the CX-F concept version, it still proves Jaguar is a main front runner in the luxury car world.

When Roush unveiled the new P-51A Mustang, it was easy to tell that it wouldn’t be long before the 100 units being produced for 2008 were bought up. After all, it is the most powerful Roush designed Mustang to hit showroom floors. This car boasts an impressive 510hp from a supercharged 4.6L V8, that coupled with this car’s limited availability are sure to make it an instant collector car. Roush realized this and has bumped the production numbers up to 151 units, from the originally planned run of 100.

Pricing information has yet to be released, but it is safe to say it will be somewhere north of $65,000. This hefty price tags gets you Roush’s latest supercharger, forged internal engine components, a custom fuel rail and high flow injectors, a custom lower and upper intake manifold, upgraded twin-blade throttle body, and a high-capacity intercooler good for at least 510 horsepower.

The P-51A also receives a Roush body kit, 14 inch front brake rotors with 4 piston calipers, forged 18 inch wheels with BF Goodrich rubber, and a paint scheme inspired by the legendary 357th Fighter Group from World War II.
