I wonder how long it'll go before limp mode. Heard the models now with ludicrous go limp after 15-20mins of spirited driving and could only make it 3 minutes into a nurburgring lap before limp mode. I think it recorded a 10min lap time.

If that’s the case then this new ZR1 is a total slug 🐌 in comparison to the new Tesla roadster coming out and my ZO6/Z07 is a Toyota Camry lol

The math aside, your point is well taken.

Tadge just made his normal hyperbolic comments on a new model...it's to be expected.

Just adding a Halltech intake reduces the "sluggishness".
Then a step further add a PTB, some headers and tune.
636 rwhp is far from sluggish.
The stock Z06 now seems sluggish. Now adding a lighter weight larger blower
over 700 rwhp on the way. All for far less than 15k
so no ZR1's will accuse my Z06 of being "sluggish".

I went into my garage today and kicked my Z06 for being a slow sluggish pos. Then I came back inside.

Looking forward to see the "Honest" quarter mile times between the Z06 and ZR1. with all the added downforce on the ZR1 it may be suprising.

(a) Wing is adjustable
(b) Doesn't make much difference until the top of the quarter anyway

Might shave a MPH or two off the top but I doubt it will have any material impact at quarter mile speeds. Just like Stage3 on the current Z.
