Car and Driver says save your $32,210 unless you want one more foot of braking LOL!

Using that logic ... Every VTEC Honda and just about every Ford produced since 84 also has a throne right next to the “king corvette”
It’s NO measure of a Mans accomplishment to integrate himself into someone else’s success.

you don't need a huge aftermarket, you need one competent shop with a strong kit, like Underground Racing and a Lambo. Why do you need more options?

On MPSC2 I went from a 1:17.4 to a 1:16.5 PB so far at Summit Point. On slicks it's so far just a1 tenth faster in PB but that's also in weather that has been 30+ degrees warmer and the Z06 had the DSC Sport controller. What that doesn't really show is how consistently I can run times at or near my PB times in the Z06. I'll post up another video later but I was running lap after lap in 1:15's yesterday in upper 80's temp on scrubs. Probably the best indicators are that the ZR1 is consistently 6+ MPH faster on the big straights and my min speed through T10 is about 3 MPH faster. T10 has a min-speed of ~85 MPH.
Acceleration is the low hanging fruit of vehicle performance. You can make anything fast in a straight line. Making a car faster in the corners is the real trick, and the true purpose of the ZR1.
There shouldn't be any increase in braking. The Z06 and ZR1 have the exact same tires and virtually identical brakes. Braking performance all comes down to grip, not brake force. Even the steel brake setup from the Z06/Grand Sport is strong enough to lock up a set of Sport Cup 2s if you disable ABS. The slight changes made to the ZR1 brakes were designed to make the brakes last longer under the heavy repeated use you see on a road course.
Considering the Aventador was released in 2011, it's a pretty safe bet that GM copied Lamborghini, if you can even call that a copy.

Yup, just as soon as we have one that works. The box out of my 2017 would work for a couple of power cycles and then the car wouldn't go in the any PTM mode. Mike and gang and DSC Sport may have figured it out and I'll be ready to test. I also have a set of Tractive shocks to go on at some point.

Porsche 911 GT2 RS Nurburgring time 6:47.30
Corvette ZR1 Nurburgring time...? I didn't see it listed in the top 10 production cars. what did the ZR1 do it in.
I know this is only one track but I seem to remember someone at GM saying it would be in the sub 7 minute range and the Nuburgring seems to be the benchmark.

I'm at C&C every weekend and I have a good time. It's more about the drive to and from for me

Since THAT didn't happen, I think it's safe to say it ain't gonna.*

I've watched every one of them as they were listed and looked up their VIN and MSRP on the ZR1 registry,
Every ZR! at Manheim sold for more than original MSRP.
S/N 238, a Black A8 1ZR ZTK coupe with a $130K MSRP is on the block 8/10 at Manheim.
I predict it sells for $135K to a dealer for resale.
ZR1's are still very hot property.
