Apparently you've never seen a '63 Grand Sport

Was going to mention this, although I see this look as something more akin to the old IMSA GT cars and street versions inspired by them like the Greenwood Vettes and things Koenig and Ruf did with the Germans.
Maybe we need to start off small. I mean, they don't let you fuck the glumpers at Glumpees without a level 4 FuckPass, do they?

Thank goodness for dear old Zora.  Without him, you guys wouldn't have much to brag about. :ohyeah:

I hadn't. But the fact that you had to go back 54 years to find another overstyled Corvette kind of proves my point :lol:

C6 is peak Corvette IMO aside from the Ebay special headlights.

I agree.  The right amount of style and the right amount of aggressive.

I went all the way back to '63 to show that overstlying has been a part of the Corvette's DNA since the beginning.

(Not that I like the Grand Sport. I think it's ugly. This ZR1 is okay. Form follows function)

Is this the most powerful manual transmission car?

Since the Demon is auto only, yes I think it is.

This will have a better power/weight ratio better than anything that isn't a $1M+ hyper exotic. Whether it can put it down in a meaningful manner, well, that is TBD.

I was looking at the GT3 configurator the other day and was surprised that the GT3's now starts at 143K.  And in standard Porsche fashion, they nickel and dime you for everything.  if you want like things like seats that adjust more than 4 ways ($2640) or paint that isn't one of 4 flat colors ($720-$4220), or ceramic brakes ($9200), it quickly puts to price to 160K.  I think those are all features the ZR1 comes with.

And some of the options are just hilarious.  You can get your air vents painted for $1700.  I just clicked all the options just for shits and giggles and you can get it to go over 200K.

I think many saw that coming.

To be fair, the current Ford GT is a race car first, compromised a fair amount, to run on the street. The ZR1 is honed to run on the street and track, and is every bit a production car.

But yeah, GM has Ford's number when it comes to performance, and has, for quite some time.

Yup! It makes sense to keep the Regular Vette (Poop Rods) and have a limited production rear engine (DOHC) model!

I think they're pretty much at the limit of performance for the "Front Engined" Vette!

True! Maybe they should add an AWD model (No SUV) along with the rear engine car! All bases covered......

I said this years ago, and people said I was crazy. I think they should bring the Camaro and redo the SS under that brand. Escalade should be its own brand as well.

No. This is BS modern marketing that ruins brands and their legacy. The Camaro is not a Corvette - they both have their own storied history and customers.
