While I can see how you could misinterpret my post that said "they just sold two" , I'd be careful about your comments on who you think I am, since I've never said anything of the kind regarding depreciation on ZR1's.

I wouldn't put it past GM to hope that some will do exactly that; you can bet quit a few current C7 owners will be upsold into the Z06. It's a pretty shrewd business model, and one which other companies use too.


I think when GM states "The Corvette Z06 will complete Chevrolet’s performance car lineup, which will also see the addition of the Corvette Stingray Convertible, Camaro Z/28 and SS sedan," they could be right in saying that, while also leaving open the option of a ZR1-type car later on down the line, especially if the economy picks up. They could mean that, as the Z06 has been in the works for some time, when it is released, it will literally complete the performance car lineup, as they currently have it planned. For the short term, that could be absolutely correct. But the performance car lineup is constantly evolving, in response to what the market will bear, and due to the simple fact that old models get old; there's likely to be a new-generation Camaro, with models that have even higher performance than the Z/28. To me, it doesn't sound like they're saying a ZR1-type car is off the table.
