That's the plan...I have been stalking C6 ZR1'S for some time now and figured since the C7 Z is so close to introduction, I may as well wait until it is introduced to see what happens to the ZR1 prices. I fully expect the new C7Z to start at $90k (at least) and well above $100k even just moderately equipped. I am not will to pay that much for any car...I believe we have reached the point of diminishing marginal returns when it comes to performance gains on factory cars. As such, I am not willing to pay a premium for a car that will simply be 3-4 seconds faster (for example). The C6 ZR1 will always be a special vette and already way too much car for most people. I would be super proud to own one.

1st off who cares about traps, in a 1/4 race it's who gets there 1st, second you accuse me of taking the fastest C7 time, then go off and post the fastest ZR1 time. I've seen cars run 9 second 1/4 times under 136mph, who gives a crap about mph, I want lower et's
If you take real world average times for both cars they are both 11 second cars within a few 10's of each other period.
And I can bet you that the average joe blow can click off a better et in a C7, than a ZR1.

Hope so, then I can get one lol

C6 ZR1 values have been "plummeting" for a few years. It seems like 'most' of the ones out there were bought used for far, far less than new. I would guess that they'll continue to drop as they were because there may be a bump in demand and people rush to find deals on used ZR1's.
And then the whole cycle will start again in a few years with the C7 variants.

After a very long drought from hp, the 90 ZR-1 looked to be a quick and brief relief from the dry desert of hp-less cars. It was said it would be one year only, and it would be gone. This is why 90 was the highest production year for ZR-1s, and why almost half went straight into storage. It was to be the end. It wasn't the end, but the beginning of a hp war that hasn't slowed down yet.

Now - not driving a C6 ZR1 - THAT is just plain ridiculous.

99.999999% of the people who own C7's will never see the 1/4 mile track. Mph is way more important than ET when driving on the street. A ZR1 will absolutely **** all over a C7 in any acceleration race. From a dig or roll or whatever. You are the most delusional person on this site.

time and progress will depress the value of most cars.

While I wouldn't have been as crass, you are absolutely correct. A C7 doesn't stand a chance in any street driving performance situation vs a C6 ZR1.

Not wasting my time. If you think these cars are even close! Not a few tenths of each other!
you have no clue!
Have a nice day!

If you want one, buy it. Of course they're gonna continue to depreciate. They could also hold steady and you would miss out on having the car for no good reason.

Of course values of C6ZR1's will continue to drop. Same will happen with the C7 models, given enough time. That said, its a car. You buy it to drive.

If you want to invest in something, go buy some stock.

Snorman

Exactly.
There was an '11 ZR1 on this very board for $71k with 13k miles on it. They are out there now in the 60's. It's to the point where buying a ZR1 to pound the heck out of it at the track would be the way to go. At this point, who cares about resale when the cars have lost so much value.
Five years from now, it'll be the same discussion.

The C7 Z06 won't have any effect on ZR1 values. The ZR1 is right now the ultimate street supercar, and although the C7 Z06 will be awesome, it won't make the C6 ZR1 any less desirable. The price for a ZR1 will be less cause they are now mostly used cars, with a small percentage being leftovers, out of production.

1. ZR1 values aren't "plummeting" right now
2. The only reason ZR1 values fell to where they are now was because of what new ones were selling for

New ones went to selling for sticker at $125k to now under $100k. Therefore the price of used ones dropped about that same amount and have stayed stable there. A lot of people do not like the look of the C7 versus the C6, and a lot of people who own C6 ZR1's have already modified them to 750-800hp anyways. We don't even know what the C7 Z06 will be so premature to ask the question anyways. Add in the fact that they will be selling for MSRP + markups in many cases and the current ZR1 is a hell of a deal at the current prices.

The conclusion is that C6 ZR1 values aren't likely to drop much over the next 2 years no matter what the C7 Z06 is like.

Amen to that !

comparing a C7 to a C6 ZR1??? the insanity is overwhelming in here! the C6 ZR1 will absolutely OWN a C7 in every way shape and form.

as a matter of fact, I know some stock/mildly modded C5 Z's that will beat C7s

Vetteman Jack

I would imagine it will. Just the way things go in the auto world.

Don't bother with Rock'n Blue 08, he has some sort of radar for any thread talking about a ZR1 and it's values (even if it's in a different section like this) and has this weird obsession with vehemently defending the car's honor. I posted a thread about hoping to pick one up in a few years with 40-50k miles in the 50s and he seemed to think it was impossible.

He's just in denial that the ZR1 is going to continue to depreciate just like the rest of GM cars...
