"The standard Corvette ZR1 receives a low-wing spoiler to generate up to 70 percent more downforce than the Corvette Z06’s base aero package".
Meh, so I guess it will be just a lil faster than the z06 in the straight. Cause more downforce will kill the hp difference between them.
This is bad cause even the standart Z06 is pretty slow on high speed. I thought this would be a straigh line beast like the previous ZR1, but they made another track car... Too bad they think the parachute in the car is a good idea... I'll wait for the C8.
North of $120K, at least initially. It will be deeply discounted when the novelty wears off, which will be relatively soon once the ME design surfaces and that hysteria really heats up.
By 2020, you'll be able to pick one up for less than $80K.

The ZR1 has a top speed of over 210, the Z06 with the Z07 pkg is about 180- 185, the ZR1 will kill the Z06 in a straight line and the last ZR1.
I wonder if GM wanted this to be a "spare no expense" beat everything out there or was price playing a huge factor. I would've gone with CF wheels to trim a couple dozen pounds off the weight as well as CF shelled, thinly padded seats (perhaps as an option) and a Club Sport version that is bare bones.

I'm wondering the same thing. It sounds like it has the potential to be an amazing track car. Hopefully, there won't be any C7 Z06-like surprises.
yup, as much as I love the Z, I was underwhelmed with it's track numbers. Before it came out I was saying that it would beat a 458 for 1/3 the price....boy I was wrong.
I love the look of the Sebring Orange Design Package, although I'm not 100% sold on the wheels. The ZR1 should be a track monster, I wonder how bad the dealer markup will be for the first year.
For everyone asking about pricing, this was quoted in motortrend article.
Pricing has not been announced but could easily exceed $130,000. The 2009 ZR1 started at $105,000; a carbon fiber package alone added $15,000. The 2018 base Stingray coupe starts at $56,490 and the Z06 starts at $80,490. Juechter said the ZR1 won’t be double the price of the Stingray.
If we are to believe this information to be true it sounds like ZR1 base price will start under $113,000.
or at least that's how I read into that statement
