Wrong. A MK4 Supra with 20k in overnight parts from Japan will decimate all
Posted via RS Mobile

Supposedly as fast if not faster shifts than the PDK, but it's not all about shift speed. I was listening to The Smoking Tire podcast and Carlos Lagos from Motor Trend was talking about how intelligent PDK was and how you could literally leave the car in auto mode and not use the paddles around the track.

I'm with you, they should have kept the Z06 as a NA V8 and then the ZR1 with a blown V8. But honestly, should they even make a ZR1? Obviously, enthusiasts would love it but from a business standpoint that wouldn't make sense to cannibalize its market.

Considering the number of ZR1's I see to the number of Z06s, I don't think the ZR1 introduces any sort of cannibalization

Then the guy with 200k in an 8 second GT-R will show up and rape him

I'm not a vette fan but that looks damn good, thanks OP.

Well currently it's NA vs blower. The marginal cost likely makes sense to get the ZR1.(I don't know the costs of either but I'm just guessing).

The new generation Z06 will be blown and the same for the ZR1(if they make one) so they will be stepping on each others' toes.

From a C6 perspective; I've heard enthusiasts say that they would prefer to buy the 7.0L Z06 and add F/I afterwards rather than coughing up the extra $$$ for the 6.2L S/C ZR1. Valid argument I suppose.

I think the ZR-1 is a 40K premium over the Z06, hence the lack of cannibalization. Regardless of GM's cost to produce the ZR1, I think the price disparity will remain roughly the same, which, I think, would lead to the cannibalization effect being roughly the same (not a whole lot)

I doubt we'll see a ZR1 considering the performance of the Z06 and how closely tied to the race car the Z06 is. What would the positioning of the ZR1 be? "Even more insane than the racecar"? Might as well leave that to the aftermarket guys.

FWIW

TL;DR: The ZR1 was GM's halo car to the tee.

no kidding, it's only like 1mm away from wear bar already...

There are two options for tires:

A)Michelin Pilot Sport (Treadwear: Approx 220)

B)Michelin Sport Cup (Treadwear: Approx 80)

^^nice pics :). The cars are pretty nice too.

On a completely irrelevant side note; I have a clients 1969 Corvette Stingray convertible sitting in my indoor storage waiting for customer pickup. The C3 is my least favorite gen, by far, but it still has a certain nostalgia about it.

"eight-hundredths of a second quicker than those of the dual-clutch transmission offered in the Porsche 911", is what is being said.

another vid of a cyber gray z06 at idle:

yep. time to change my pants..

check out how large the rear rotor and caliper are! most sports cars i see have massive 14" discs with 6 pots up front, but still dinky single caliper rears or something. this thing has massive brakes all around. its nice to see

Wtf :suspicious:

do not approve of a z06 vert. targa would have been nice...

So nice!

burn it, burn it with fire

I'd rather have a 60's 70's Vette 'vert, have my hair in a mullet with a pack of marlboros on the dash


Slower around the track but I would get laid more
