[ZR1] ZR1 specs
#3
Man GM is really playing this one up...A month or so before they're about to start producing production cars and still no freekin performance specs! Better be putting out some mind boggling numbers on the track or some might not be so happy.

Just using simple physics you can live up to expectations. The ring number is the one that makes me laugh. They said they could beat the GT-R number and they have not done it yet. They even released the CTS-V ring times and video proof as well as the performance numbers and the V is due out months after the ZR-1. What are the 0-60 and 1/4 mile expectations?

Any of you go to the ZR1 unveiling at the NCM April bash? Corvette managers and engineers were there answering questions, presenting seminars, and doing walk around reviews of the ZR1.
From what I remember:
* Chevrolet will release Nurburing times AFTER they have a production ZR1 to use.
* ZR1 production begins July 14, 2008.
* Official times will be released AFTER production cars are built.
*Chevrolet will build " signfiicantly less than 2.000 ZR1's for the U.S. during the first year of production."
* Chevrolet expects to have a gas guzzler tax on the ZR1 (Goverment regulations, not GM's choice).
Hope this helps clear up some of the mis-information.
