Go Canes!
Nice! thanks for sharing.
I just can't get past the hideous wing for street driving. I am aware it is functional.

On edit: I take back what I said, I would swap the wheels out too. Not a big fan of the star pattern...

I really really really hope the article is full of details so the speculation threads end.

A copy pasta from a FB page:
- Starting price expected to be around $120k
- 7 speed manual and 8 speed automatic
- 1/2" wider than Z06 front wheels
- Mag Ride standard
- Carbon Ceramic Brakes
- 750hp/680 lb-ft LT5 (6.2L, pushrod V8, Eaton supercharger)
- Supercharger produces 52% more air per RPM than the Z06 blower, also 2.9" taller.
- Because of the hood height, car can not be sold in Europe
- Tadge claims the ZR1 can shoot flames out from its exhaust
- NEW fuel delivery system- BOTH PORT INJECTION AND DIRECT INJECTION
- sub 3 second 0-60, sub 11 second 1/4 mile, 210+ mph top speed
- 4 additional heat exchangers (comparing to Z06) in the nose
- Curb weight 3664 lbs, 140 lbs over Z06
- Several aero packages available, RPO "ZTK" as shown in magazine. Wing has 10 degrees of adjustability, contributing to 500 lbs of downforce at speed.
- Wing is attached behind the hatch and spreads the load to the bumper beam.
- Removable top
- 2.5 seconds faster around VIR than Z06

Buy the Callaway and save some dough.

So what could possibly be coming on 12/11? And anyone that says ME is an idiot. You can see the center exhaust in the short video clip. So is it a hopped up Z06 or ZR1 or ....

Love the looks. But as a track nut concerned with the suspension. I maxed out the Zo6 suspension when it came out and now have a ZL1 1LE Camaro with the Spool valve shocks. Wish ZR1 would of at least offered them. I know most will never make it to that level but will go on record this coming spring I will be back here screaming give me suspension mods. Can't wait hopefully I am still atop a list for one of the first.

Pretty damn awesome.
But...I'm still wishing for a Z06X/GTx RS/1LE equivalent to finally reach the Corvette line. I guess Tadge & co. know the old farts on here better than I do.

Remember that the LT4 in the ZO6 was initially estimated at 620hp or 625hp at it's reveal. They had to test via EPA test before they finally arrived at 650hp. Supercharger cover is a match for the leaked photo Conti put out. The Supercharger does indeed have a carbon fiber canopy with what appears to be vents on the side. It is a shaker hood with a canopy over the SC.
when they are official..
