I'm not a C8 Corvette person, but color me impressed and credit where it's due.

Can't wait for all the "M3 or ZR1?" threads, as if "M3 or 911" wasn't dumb enough...

T0RM3NT · 07-26-2024, 01:14 PM

Waiting for Vic55

Needsdecaf · 07-27-2024, 02:09 PM

This thing is freaking awesome. RWD! Guess us Xdrive owners should STFU. lol.

leocce · 07-27-2024, 04:57 PM

just one word... nasty..

in a good way.. of course.

somer · 07-28-2024, 05:10 AM

Hell of a car....

Guessing 195 to start, 230 with all options, 300+ with markups?

Makes the G90 M5 look so stupid needing a hybrid to get to 717hp. Yeah i get it, they'll sell 20x more and needs to be legal in all countries, but still...

HeelToeShift · 07-28-2024, 12:54 PM

This car looks pretty insane. Considering the current Z06 is already faster than a GT4RS, GT3, and on some tracks the GT3RS it is really going to be a statement for them if it really jumps another level. And on top of it, it's still going to be cheaper. I'm a Porsche guy, but seeing people paying 500-650K for 992 GT3RS' is a joke.
And to think there is apparently a Zora coming too.

I can’t even fathom what Zora will bring at this point. lol It’ll be insane.

What's "dumb" about "M3 or 911?"

GOLFFRR · 07-29-2024, 08:49 AM

looks insane

kgelfen360 · 07-29-2024, 09:15 AM

I think they had to do it because of Demon with 1000hp.
It looks awesome. I personally wouldn’t buy it. But I like it a lot.

But the Demon requires E85 to make that power whereas the ZR1 makes it on 93 octane. I think the Z06 is more my style (I prefer NA cars) and would def be on my short list for another sports car.

neither is dumb in isolation. It's comparing the two that's dumb.

I thought this was a BMW M3/M4 site?

SE7EN335 · 08-11-2024, 06:58 AM

How is this ZR1 supposed to get traction? Looks like it would be spinning most of 3rd gear on PS4S with that amount of power and torque

BroDoze · 08-11-2024, 12:11 PM

Torque limited in the lower gears, as most are.

That said, it’ll be sad to see the first wrecked ZR1…

3rd gear will hook when it's dry and warm on PS4S. For sure. That's already 90+ MPH...it's gonna boogie. 1st gear no one cares, but 2nd will be the tough one.

You better have a WAY better tire than a 4s!!! Lol.

Humdizzle · 08-12-2024, 03:23 PM

it will definitely be a boost by gear setup along with advanced traction control. might be recalibrated whether you spec the car with PS4S or Cup2s.

mclaren 750s has a similar power to weight ratio (ZR1 is going to weigh 3900 pounds with fluids / GM only gave us a dry weight of 3650 or something). as this car and does the same thing. i'm pretty sure ferraris have been doing this since the 488 as well.

you probably wont get the full 1000hp until 90-100mph.

It will be slower than the lighter z06 on smaller tracks. Faster tracks like F1 circuits will favor the ZR1
