Re: Who will Order a C7 ZR-1
Paul, I agree. I can't imagine the C7 to be radically different, then eclipsing it so soon after with the C8. Reminds me of the C6 ZR1, then the Z06 so soon after being so close in performance and so less in price.

When you pull the door closed, and it pushes your left hip hard enough to smack the right one into the aircraft-carrier of a console, that pretty much says it all. They say the C-7 has more interior volume. If true, I don't know where it is hiding. A C-6 is WAY more comfortable with room to shift around in the seat. And that tiny steering wheel..... I feel like an adult sitting on one of those little wooden cars with the itsy -bitsy plastic steering wheel. While not perfect, Mercedes always seemed to find a way to provide a perfect fit from petite to XXX (medium). Marty |

I tried to fit in a few Stingrays, and Z06's. The windshield pillar is in my line of sight. So I bought the ZR-1 in Sept. I would bet the new ZR1 would be way north of $100g then with the first year dealer markups. Crazy money!! |

Re: Who will Order a C7 ZR-1
As much as I love cars, especially NEW cars, there's no way I could justify $100k+ on a car. I'd rather just have a small fleet of old ZR-1s anyway. (Just need to work out a storage problem that's popped up).
I'll also say that I've been watching the C6 ZR1 market and the moment they get close to $40k (you can find some in the mid 50's now) I'll have one one those in my garage.

Re: Who will Order a C7 ZR-1
I would rather have one of the new 10 second Teslas for similar money.

Re: Who will Order a C7 ZR-1
0 to 60 in 10 seconds isn't very fast!

Re: Who will Order a C7 ZR-1
just got a new 16 z06 for Christmas/after only 120 miles on it I am having buyers remorse/got a huge deal on it but must say it is about the same as our old zr-1s to get in and out of and room inside is also close to the same/My c6 fidanza tt car rides smoother with lots more room inside and is way faster/per corvette forum specs/2009 2013 zr1 faster as well/plus the c7s have lots of scoops to pick up leaves and crap off the road/lots of pretty gadgets inside too
