C8 ZR1

Was hoping they would have total price (with selected options) available on the configurator.

Looks like my build with options will be around $206,500 plus tax, destination, and gas guzzler tax.

 

Looks like I will be getting 2026 as they only got one allocation and additional allocations are doubtful due to short year.

 

new interior for 2026

That's all very nice, but .........WHAT'S THE NURBURGRING TIME???

.

 

1:47.xx at VIR is bonkers ... it's only a couple of seconds slower than an IMSA GT3 lass car but on DoT tires.

And they did those laps without pro racers…

 

I won't be getting one anytime soon. The spec's available are too limited. I'll wait for the later years and see what happens or buy used if they depreciate.

 

This begs for an SF90LOL plate.

 

Or ZR1 Blu

 

5 tracks, but no Laguna Seca?

Conspiracy theory >>> they tested there but couldn't break the record.

.

 

1:52 at Watkins is on pace with Porsche factory Cup Cars running full slicks. Wow!

 

Full slicks, but with only 510(?) hp? soooo ........
.

 

So...it's as fast as a factory race car and has A/C, navigation, street tires to drive around on public roads, a passenger seat, a removable top/convertible, a killer stereo, a rear trunk to pack bags/groceries, about half the price of a 992 Cup...

 

Sorry for the obvious…but that car is FAST.
Watching the videos as the car completes a corner, the speedometer is jumping in 5mph increments.

 

What “spec” do you think is going to appear in years 2/3/4?

 

Better colors mostly.

 

The C8 ZR1 Nurburgring time is in the same place as the 2017 Ford GT time...

 

Where's Ferrari's lap time

 

Noise regulation.

 

Car does not sound very loud at all. Regardless, easily fixed with modified mufflers as is done there and at The Ring also.
.

 

Laguna Seca is very strict on db levels. I don't think GM is worried about the competition at this point in the game. They still have an arrow in the quiver. The Zoro...

 

Except Road America, all east coast tracks and not that far from each other. Why spend the money/time to drive a car/team/etc out to California? They proved their point.
