The ZR1 reminds me of a clip from this famous movie that a lot of us are old enough to remember! "DR. I WOULD LIKE TO KISS YOU GOODBYE ALRIGHT BUT YOUR SO DAMNED UGLY"

The LG Motorsports nose looks hideous too.

I would literally KILL to swap the ZR1 front bumper onto my Z. You know, to have something more aggressive and functional.

But instead of spending more money on the Z, i'll just upgrade to the ZR1. But i have to wait to see what's brewing with the C8 first!!!

Hurry up GM!!! lol
Now it all makes sense. You're in love with the ZR1 & your itty bitty feelings are getting hurt when some of us say it's over priced and/or it looks like ***. Almost like we personally insulted you or something. Bwahahahahaha

I love chuck and his youtube channel, seems like a real stand up guy, but realize the tires and driver skill had a LOT more to do with the outcome of that race than the cars themselves.....

Anyone who uses this video to prove the Z06/ZR1 is slower/faster than the Z06/ZR1 is kidding themselves

Pretty much. Obviously we don't want to go down this rabbit hole of modding this car will be faster than that car as it can spiral down.....BUT with that said the Z06 is absoluitely one of the best bang per buck car you can get out there today.

99% of real world drivers will never truly be able to get a difference out of the ZR1 vs the Z06 as the ZR1 is a track machine that is best wrung out in the hands of a pro or a very very skilled amateur driver.....still doesn't make it a bad car either....everyone has their tastes and be happy we have both great cars to enjoy in this day and age!

But if I were to plunk down my own hard earned dollars....it'd be the Z06 with mods for me too, haha!

Your posts become ironic because it seems like you're arguing with yourself. How many posts do you have in this thread now? Mostly towards me? lol

Or are you mad you just bought a Z, when the ZR1 has taken it's crown, and then like you said, the C8 is around the corner. So like you also said, the ZR1 will be old news in 3 years, but then what about your recent purchase of the z?

It's already old news now, it's going to be ancient in 3 years LOL

Might as well throw in the towel and start saving your pennies for the ZR1.

The ZR1 will be just as dated in 3 years as the Z06 only more . The boy racer wing and hood and high price all with more weight will make it one of the least sold and in least demand Corvette's! The demand? Is drying up already.

With 4 in the for sale section already. Some going under MSRP still not sold!.

I've got nothing against LG Motorsports or the quality of their work. Especially, since they're based here in Anna, TX, a bit northeast of Dallas.

My Z06 with 800hp has 3450 in weight try that with the king also being heavy.
The big wing looming on the streets looks tacky to most. It really belongs on the track! Yep the money argument is dumb as well! I could have a ZR1 for everyday of the week if that was the plan
Quite sure with MY portfolio now breaking 3.5 million in assets! Not counting 150-200k in cars!
Wow,you are my Idol. New money,trust fund?

Now that we know what your real issue is with people who don't care for the ZR1 I'm just sitting here laughing at you. Didn't you just tell me yesterday that you don't even read my posts. I can see the steam coming out of your ears. LOL

I guess your 2016 1LZ is really old news. You might as well take it to the junkyard in the morning & have them put it in the crusher. Turn it into a modern art coffee table. I wouldn't want you to be embarrassed by being seen in that hideous old Z06 of yours. Why did you even bother wasting money buying it? Surely, you knew that GM would come out with a ZR1 as they have with previous generations. Just think, you could be driving the love of your life right now. LOL

I got my brand new '16 for under 70k. 68.8? Or i'll just call it 69k.

Hate to say the ZR1 is overrated as a king. The extra weight hurts. Like it or not!

Yes, my first post matches my second....I was replying to your posts. To clarify, I'm saying you can spend money to mod a c7z06, but it would never be a zr1 in the end whether it's faster or not..... so you would not have a zr1. In no way am i suggesting you should want one. lol

As for the weight, I think the c7z06 is heavy and the performance is overrated as well.

I do own a corvette, search my posts for pictures of it if it's important to you.

You really do have insecurity issues.

You can definitely tell which guys in this thread have insecurity issues LOL. The ones that feel the need to clarify their aimless illogical excuses over and over as to why they don't like the ZR1. I mean it makes sense.

The Z is a beast, but the ZR1 is a monster!! GM hurry with the C8, i gotta upgrade to something! lol

zr1>z06 it's simple, zr1 is the king. Like it or not.
Never said I wanted one If I did it would be in the garage!

You're my hero!
First it was "you still won't have a ZR1 "
Second it was! "you don't want a ZR1, and i didn't suggest you did or that you should.


They don't match and your posts just show I'm to conversing with a trolling clown! Who maybe has a C6 and plus I don't care about your 2 cents!
Post up your car! Then go to the correct forum!

Then you can tell the trolls as well! They don't have a ZR1, But have a Z06 and a payment book but they are busy trolling knocking other Corvette owners who have owned many Corvette's and know the C7 Z06 is the best Corvette out to date! Because it is easy to mod! 1000 hp real beast running around! The ZR1 is non tunable is front heavy and over rated for the dollar. Right now it is not much of a beast! It comes with 755 and 3670 pounds
all for 140k?
My car is 800 hp and 3450 in weight? Plus it looks better i don't like the muscle car big hood look on the Corvette! ! It is a sports car!
What about your aim less posts about the ZR1? Who cares! You are the insecure one! Worrying about others instead of yourself is the first sign. I care less what you drive!
