So they finally released the sticker price for the ZR1, $99000, so that's about $99000 more than I have to spend!!!
But there was one lucky person who caught a real deal at the Barett Jackson Auction today, he paid only $1,000,000 for the first one for sale!!!! All proceeds were donated to charity but I think we will see these selling for close to $200,000 for the first couple months then drop down to $150,000 for a little while. I think it will take almost two years to get to sticker!! Sweet car but it's hard to justify the money when you know what can be done with the sam money. Car and parts I'm into my ride for a little over 75000 and I'm sure it will smoke a ZR1 in all categories. But then again, mine doesn't have a 5 year 100,000 mile warranty!!!

ALL categories? That would surprise me. Tell us what you did and how you did it for 25k less than GM.

Yes, and please provide details of you aero enhancements so your car will be as stable at 200mph as the ZR1.

journeyc6

like you go 200 MPH to get groceries!!!!!! common!!!! what aerodinamics???? a bigger splinter on the front, and side skirts?????

My 06 Z06 with mods from Lingenfelder is faster, Price $5,000 installed.
Yes some of the proposed goodies are nice, but are they worth $30,000?

speedy ur in troulbe now
his car makes more hp then ZR1 now on the other catogories.......

gilly6993

bottom line is that it's still not a ZR1....I would be willing to pay 125K if there are any available at that price....we'll see....

The brakes on the Zr1 are a 20-30K dollar option if you were trying to buy them separately and that is if you can get them right now.

Horsepower is great, till you gotta hit the brakes and make a turn. Those carbon ceramics are so far beyond anything right now its gonna be funny to watch it eat cars with far more power.

First of all---how do you back up your claim with facts since you don't have any? Second, I HIGHLY doubt it. Third---you sound sour. Fourth---you still don't have a ZR1. It will be a classic. Lastly please spell Lingenfelter correctly if you at least own one-I have been to LPE, and 5K ain't going to get it by any stretch of the imagination pal.

NICK YOSKIN

dont venture over here that much but u guys are silly..."well my C5 twin turbo makes double the HP that the ZR1 makes!" no really ....hehehehehehehe

Not a chance!

The ZR-1 is better balance with counts of downforce on front and rear. You could put 1000 HP is a hummer but it's still rolling brick. HP plays a part, but not the deciding factor. The ZR-1 is that much better over the Z06 just looking at the small aerowork differences alone.

I'm sure your car is nice, but you are mistaken if you think an engine dyno determines how fast a car is.

This is not the sticker price.


Tom Wallace announced at the NCM Event ZR-1 unveiling the price would be North of 100K.

Aero ENGINEERING is one of the most expensive things to do, and do well on a car. GM uses the wind tunnel, something few tuners and no backyard mechanics can ever do. As has been said here, to balance the front and rear downforce while minimizing drag as much as is possible takes hundreds of hours, and great expertise. NO ONE can bolt on parts and even come close.

It looks like you are on the wrong forum. The cars designed for picking up groceries are nowhere to be found on this site. Search the web and you will find what you are looking for. Good luck with your search. Hyundai can probably help you out.

Oh, I almost forgot, you might want to use a spell checker next time.

wow, some people are nasty!!

alanhang

why are some of you people back biting?

jschindler

I didn't see that announcement - who made that? It would be very unusual, they don't usually announce pricing until about June on the upcoming Corvettes.

This sign appears to be from GM, all it says is "starting under $100,000" (although I admit, the $99k sounds about right).

SpeedyD

Wow, tough crowd in here guys!! Let me "fix" what I was saying last night after I came home from the bar..... I like the ZR1 and for the money it's a lot of car, just not for me simply cuz I don't have the 100g's to dump on it. What I have currently is a 01 C5, APS twin, forged bottom, 700/700 RWHP/RWT. RPM stage V tranny and rear, 342's in the rear, G'Force 5th and 6th in the tranny. 6 piston calipers up front, 4 piston in the rear, with two piece rotors all around( nothing close to the cermaics! ). It's on PFadt coilovers with the Pfadt sways, Pirellis Pzero's all around, 345/25/20's in the rear, 265/30/19's up front. I'm confident the car would do well against the ZR1, not only in straigtline. I was over zealous last night, sorry

I have Also heard that the ZR1 will be just above 100k. GM's goal was to try to stay under 100K Off the line. but after dealer mark ups and all the other wonderful little mark ups/fees it will be somwhere around 100K-120K. Probably higher to start because of the demand. . Either way I think the car will be well worth its price tag

robvuk

That sounds like a great car I wouldn't mind owning myself. But it's not even a C6. I guess you were just a bit "overzealous" in ALMOST all categories.
