Among brands tested, non-TOP TIER gasolines caused 19 times more engine deposits than TOP TIER brands after just 4,000 miles of simulated driving. Such carbon deposits are known to reduce fuel economy, increase emissions and negatively impact vehicle performance, particularly on newer vehicles.
The one up car with the ACR!
Hate to say the thing is pretty ugly with a lot of parts from the Z06 parts bin!
So wait a second, the car is ugly and has tons of Z06 parts? What??? The ugly part is subjective so that doesn't matter (I like it personally), but are you really upset at the fact that it shares parts with the Z06?
What's parts bin about it? The hood, front end, and possibly the front fenders and rear panel are completely different from the Z06. Not to mention the whole new aero set up. It might have the same fenders but that's not a big deal, the Z06 shares fenders with the Z06 too.
Can someone explain this? The C6 ZR1 shared parts with C6 Z06, hell pretty much every high performance variant/range topping model shares parts with the "lesser" versions.
The butthurt/self validation of the Z06 owners has already begun, and the ZR isn't even released yet.
Looking forward to seeing it. Appears it's going to be a great rig.
Yes. The ZR1 will likely be a big improvement over the Z06 in every measurable performance category. It will also likely also have better cooling for the track and better resale value.
If you are a horsepower junkie it is the one to get.
It's not for me though. Living where I do and only realistically being able to track my car 3-4 times a year, a Z51 makes the most sense due to the availability of all season tires that I can run in the winter months. I have two other vehicles but the thought of my Vette sitting in the garage for almost half the year is a show stopper.

That makes perfect sense, Thill. In fact, in another thread I argued there are numerous reasons why somebody would choose a Z51 over the GS.
And I'm a firm believer of getting you want, and enjoying what you have.
We'll see some Z owners, though, try too hard to convince other people why the ZR isn't for them. Which will be humorous. Because it's not needed. Nobody in here cares what other people decide is right for them.
I'm looking forward to seeing the ZR - and the ME, if they decide to build that one. It's a great time for fans of sports cars.
Spats? Those who think it will not have them "might" be disappointed. Take a closer look at the end of the splitter. I doubt that it would protrude that far from the lower fender without some type of extender. It certainly isn't a finish product. The splitter will eventually have to butt-up to another part... possibly similar to a Stage 3 winglet-type piece, but it's missing something.

I was looking at that after expanding the picture. The haters need to get a life. What we are seeing is a work in progress. Ginny May knows damn good and well what she is doing. Just like a woman with well shaped legs, these allowed pictures allow for the Corvette team to do two things. Wet our appetite and more important, provide feedback on the design as it now stands.

Don't waste you time. Whatever he has (at that particular moment) is the absolute best and he will hear no different. Until he moves on to the next thing, then it will be the epitome of automotive excellence.

I'm not so sure about spats being needed as the front tire appears to be placed well under the fender. As to the winglet function it may be that being a little farther out from the fender increases air flow efficiency to further reduce air turbulence thus drag. Maybe even to a 'blended' winglet such as used on aircraft is being contemplated. I agree, a work in progress.

Makes me wonder if he puts the same energy into a condom purchase ?

This thing is not going to arrive likely until spring/summer 2018. Detroit Auto show is in January, I suspect we will get the unveiling and details then.
