Wow, what a silly thing to complain about. The spats are cheap cost cutting parts on a car you can't afford as is. On the other hand I bet the cheap *** C6 interior is fine by you.
Let's assume the ZR1 comes out sans spats and with a killer ring time. You won't buy it because you will not be able to afford that one either. You will wait until the C8 comes out and then you will buy a used C7.

Mine could pop tomorrow but I dont give a rats ***, I didn't pay full rip like you and I have a 4 year GMPP extended warranty.

I don't think anybody is going to line up to buy a ZR1 unless you have bags of money you want to dispose of or you are a GM loyalist to the core. Think of it this way. GM let down the C6Z guys and the C7Z guys. Their integrity is gone. Would you really trust them with all their marketing crap about the ZR1 ?

I'm certainly not a GM apologist, but find me a brand that hasn't let customers down. As a consumer of brands such as McLaren, Porsche, Range Rover, BMW, MB, etc., I can tell you that none have been perfect. In fact, I had to ship my McLaren from MN to AZ for a paint correction issue not covered under warranty...despite being under warranty. Cost me $5K

I disagree and expect the car to sell as well as the C6 ZR did. Especially if it manages to post a sub 7 ring time. Nothing else is even remotely close to the performance/price quotient.

You wanna know something...the Vette is WAY more fun than the prancing horse. I've driven the 458 as well, and the C7Z is loads more fun there as well.
Some people can appreciate cars for being cars and not care about what the badge says...You might wanna try it sometime

It would take at least a year of confirmation from owners before I would write a check.

That's strange cause I still own a 612 Scaglietti (bought new)...used to own a 360, 911 Speedster, RS America, Ruf Turbo as well...and I just bought my first Vette in Aug. 2015 (C7Z). I guess NO ONE cross shops "exotics" with lowely Chevy products.

It's totally comical. Some of these guys would break out in tears with some of the ball busters in my part of town.
