Default ZO6, the new ZR-1?

Matt Farah from /Drive has a new clip on YouTube with a driving impression of the new ZO6, and the opinion that it's more appropriate to call it "The New ZR1":

Interesting eh? Your thoughts?

I haven't driven a new Z06, but if it is anything like the outgoing ZR1, it is awesome! It only has an additional 12 hp, but the supercharging in the ZR1 is smooth and that car seems more "refined" over the C6 Z06. I also recently learned that the top speed on the new Z06 is 185 mph, where the top speed on the ZR1 is 205 mph. The new Z06 is more track capable, but loses top end speed due to the aero package, which causes greater down force.

I asked the guy about making a Procharger kit for the LT5, but he said demand would be too low, and potential is too low.

I want to see a blown LT5, that can be repeated.
