No Spats is a huge win. Glad GM spent a little more money designing a proper front bumper this time around.

On paper, that's only a 10 percent gain in wt/power (approx.). But it's probably considerably more than that, since the Z06 pulls throttle, and thus available hp, to avoid heat soak, whereas the ZR1 likely won't, not with all those coolers. And the ZR1 has WAY more downforce, which, at the track, makes even a bigger difference.

It was the spats the whole time?
I was wondering why your still driving the Old C6 (with no spats) and look to be for many moons to come C6.

which will keep me on the sidelines. I kind of figured $120k would be the number. If it hits $150k loaded, I'll have to just stay home. $120k loaded? I'd be all in.

Can't wait, I combined the two pages with the side shot to make it easier to see how it looks as a whole.



PS, I wonder if blue calipers will be an option?

3 Z06ZR1

It will be an EPIC track car. For those that track and have the extra dough and don't mind laying it out for the high costs of tracking this bad boy will surely cost.

It's pretty much everything we anticipated from a looks perspective, however I wonder if those side mirror turn signal indicators will be standard on all models in 2019?

It's definitely geared to the track crowd, however I'm sure there will be some Cars & Coffee guys buying it for the accolades. I'm still shopping the 2019 Z06 and hoping some of the cooling improvements are incorporated into the design, however not counting on it as I expect the 2019 Z06 to be unchanged.

Absolutely love the new Sebring Orange. Orange calipers please.

I have to say it almost looks like two different cars. A reverse mullet? Party in the front, business in the back? The rear could've used some more flair. Maybe a diffuser or something.

I'm not a fan of the side vent. Looks like it was forgotten about by the designers. GT3 RS did a nice job with the slats. This looks meh.

3 Z06ZR1

Me too knowing full well this was coming. I spent my wad.
Not know the production numbers but from history if it repeats That 120 loaded may get one in the 2-3 year discounts. Instead of the must have one guys will pay mark-ups.

charles7970

So get a more aggressive cam, update the suspension through gm and buy a bigger super charger and i have a ZR1 got it (minus aero) lol Just please throw in the A10 from the ZL1

I just bought a Zl1 and dumped $15k in it already. haha. Just sold my Z06. Selling my Maserati as we speak. But, if it's track focused like the Zl1 1LE is, then I'm gonna pass as I'm gonna want to use it as a part time daily. Oh well, prob going to look mean as hell. Who knows. I might wait until they start hitting dealer floors and do an impulse buy like I always do.

OnPoint

Appears they didn't go with the spool valve shocks of the 1LE, so the ZR will probably me more livable on the street that it is.

txapezl1

That's good to know. I'll keep my eyes and ears peeled then. By Xmas, I'll just have 1 car, so I have room for another bad *** car to put in my garage.

3 Z06ZR1

Sounds good sorta like
my play book is the 2300 TVS, headers, intake 800, hp and not much fuss. Hopefully around 3400 pounds.
DSC controller is getting my attention as well.

OnPoint

Heck, snag one if you can.

elegant reported it will be a one-year only model (and that the 2019 MY is the last MY for the C7), so you may run into dealers playing the mark-up game.

You might have to go to Mike Furman at Criswell or one of those guys who don't play those kind of games.

Poor-sha

So it's 2.5s faster than the Z06 and Mero turned a 1:55.95 in the Z06. So that's a 1:53.5 on VIR Full? Holy cow that's fast.

I wonder if they substantially improved the brake cooling. If I get one I'll be bringing over my AP Racing brakes, DSC controller, and RTx shocks.

Warp Factor

You still wouldn't have the extra set of injectors to supply the additional fuel, or the additional cooling that the ZR1 has.

The extra cooling may not matter though unless you planned on tracking the car.

Poor-sha

I wonder if now we can finally get a C7 ZR1 section on the forum.

3 Z06ZR1

First I heard of the 1 year thing on the ZR1. I thought the C7 will continue along side the ME for a while. This would bode well for Z06 prices.

I like what you heard! Hard to figure that one honestly! Have see what happens for sure.

Still not that many of them in the big picture. Only 6800 sold 2017's will be sold in the US! Even less 2018's but looks to be 2019's as the highest numbers made.

thebishman

Are they now guaranteeing that the A8 can handle a road course like the M7? That’s a big ?
