ZR1 for sure. Not even close.
New improved engine (not just bigger supercharger)
Cooling overhaul
new front look

That's an awesome response for sure! I didnt think about it that way.

ZR1


Same reasons as stated above.


Thanks for the shot out to Maserati!

Haha so you're going with the ZR1 too?

If I were to buy a new Vette, yes, I'd be looking at the ZR1 but I like the convertible and without pop up protection in a car capable of 200mph and costing 4 times what other cars cost that do have pop up protection, I'll not be spending any money with GM.

I have a Callaway 757 and couldn't be happier. Everytime i drive the car i can't help but smile and laugh to myself that something this fast is legal to drive on the road. If money is no object and you want better resale the ZR1 is the way to go. I paid 89K for my Callaway and i think if i sold it i would take more of a hit on the Callaway than someone selling a ZR1. Also if you are going to track the car alot the ZR1 is the way to go. That being said if you are driving it mainly on the street the Callaway would be hard to beat at 30K less than a base ZR1.

If you paid 89k for a Callaway you will not be taking a bigger hit than the ZR1 which costs quite a bit more. If you are not planning on tracking no reason to buy the ZR1 over the Callaway.

Pop up protection? Sounds like you need a better anti virus!

The ZR1 every time.

We have yet to see an actual dyno graph of a Callaway Z06 posted on the forum, unlike with the SR1, and it’s been shown by Callaway owners that when driven quickly on track, the engine will over heat due to lack of cooling.

Now if you want to go quickly in a straight line, perhaps it might be an option since you can buy a ‘stripper’ Z06 and add the Callaway package for substantially less than a ZR1.

Callaway in a second. Their track record is proven. These are very limited production cars and built by the people who actually race.

No.

I think those owners were pushing the A8 on hot days not the engine just over heating.
Track use yes buy the ZR1, your going to have a huge track expense with both cars.



It is track use vs Street use. Not track vs straight line. For street use hard to over heat anything. plus no reason to buy a ZR1 over the Callaway.


I'll go 1 more just 1lz Z06 with 8800 in mods gives either car more than they want on the street. Actually if you gave me a 3lz with all the alcantana
leather glued on. I would sell it. I hate extra weight in a sports car.
1 lz everytime for me.
Quite sure the 1lz Corvette in the ZR1 is the best choice to track over the 3lz.

Absolutely silly question.

1LZ M7 $70,000.00 from Kerbeck.
Sent to Callaway for the SC757 and short shifter $19,000.00
Total $89,000.00

Hey there thank you so much for your reply, I greatly appreciate it and meeting a Callaway Corvette owner, have you had a chance to race against a ZR1?
What color is your car? I would love to post photos of it in my video? Ill send you a private message

absolutely not, which one do you own?

Awesome thank you for your kind response

Hey I didnt think about it that way, good point!

Steve Garrett

Not even close as stated. The ZR1 will run circles around it. And if its not a track sense, if your spending 20K on mods you could get for 7K , you're silly. But i guess those door sills and key fobs help resell.
