You have two scenarios, a better cooled, refreshed Z06, or a more affordable, more options ZR1 nameplate. All i know, is that my Credit Card is ready and I can't wait
Makes two of us. The pick up is expendable along with the current Z06.

Not a ZR1. Sorry.

I'm going to camo wrap my Z06 tomorrow and add a fkn high tail CF spoiler and drive around Houston just to see who will post up that it's the new ZR1. Then it goes viral, hits this forum, has 30 pages of you talking about. All the while it was me fkn with you.

It's possible, but would be a little unusual for GM.

True, but will there be a lot of ZR1 sales?
I'm thinking it might be something of a niche product...

Default Zo6! ;)

Counterpart ZL1 - They have to get it right eventually - Playing catch up - The Brand has taken a hit!
ZO7....No - No - No, They wouldn't do that to Me!

Whatever it is let's hope they install track approved roll over protection like the exotics do so you can track it. Otherwise, I do not see the point.

We can now conclude that there are 3 levels of aero and a Coupe and convertible versions of the ZR1 model. This is the same formula that the Stingray and the ZO6 have utilized. Same format that Porsche uses with their 911. I've seen the ZR1 up close via Image Stabilizer Binoculars at the Laguna Seca test. This is the ZR1. Guaranteed.

Please explain what it is exactly that tells you that about the car in the video, versus it being a regular ZO6 that someone stuck a wing onto.

Isn't the ZR1 going to be a Z06 on steroids? More horsepower, more downforce, different suspension??

Better Cooling, Different Front End, then 19" wheels all around, new tires, for the track package if it follows the formula.
