Default Re: I really want a C8

The C4 ZR is raw which is so fun to drive. You get the mechanical noises and a direct connection to driving. If I could I?d love to have both.

True--As I have said on the Mid engine corvette forum, the new ZR1 makes me want to invest in tire companies. These days naturally aspirated vs forced induction is less important to me than performance. The supercharged car has great low end torque available at very low rpms. A tenth or two 0-60 loss doesn't worry me these days; the C7 Z is plenty fast for me, despite the quote in my signature. But maybe I am just getting old. (see below). --Bob
