Say you bought 50 at 400 hp; that would be 20,000 hp for the same price!!!

who is talking 1.5 million?? it was a mclaren mp4-12c... can be had right now for 154k on ebay. I never said it was a p1 .. what I did say was that it was a trasher low level mclaren mp4 with multiple idiot drivers smoking the corvette at will. I mean beating the tar out of it. The new z06 could not pass a porsche turbo, a bmw twin turbo and even a 1992 mustang fox body with a new coyote dohc engine installed. It stayed with these cars but could not pass any of them. the only cars it passed was a relatively stock c6 grand sport convertible, spec miatas, camaros.
Believe me nobody was more disappointed than me seeing that trashing of the z06. so what it can handle!! it will get its nuts kicked in on the street that is for sure by a viper. Our zr1's are nice but are no contest with the likes of some of those track prepped cars. I would imagine some of our members with 415 engines and set up track suspensions would do well and I am sure would pass that z06 like the mclaren did. A new c6 zr1 is over 120k. A used mclaren mp4-12c is 155k. it is not that far off even though the mclaren is used with very low miles. Nobody is talking 1.5 MILLION DOLLAR CARS!
GM has the money and the engineers to make a car that truly stands out not one that runs with the pack. I hope the new zr1, if there is such a beast, will stand out like the zr1 should. the c6 zr1 held its own with MILLION Dollar cars but like always the upped the ante. the c7, so far, a bit disappointing.
