After seeing GMs description on the web that driving the ZR1 will make driving a ZO6 seem sluggish
Very same statement was made about the out going ZR1 when the ZO6 came out on 15.

Maybe it is not a concern, but this promotional card posted shows limited availablity.

Having had dealer order, allocation, and delay problems in the past. Not sure how to tell if the dealer can really make my order.

It will be limited to the amount of people willing to write a big check. Personally, I might buy one when the dealers are blowing them out at huge discounts at the end of their reign as king.

I'm not saying they don't make money on the car itself, I'm saying the money they make off these high-end models is not significant in the overall scheme of things. They make their money selling trucks/SUVs/minivans.

Gave my local dealer a deposit for a pre order Orange ZR1. He can place the order when it opens. After seeing GMs description on the web that driving the ZR1 will make driving a ZO6 seem sluggish bettered my decision. Trading in my new GS and sure hope the ZR1 does not have any fascia gap or paint issues like myself and many others had this past year. Im curios to see how it will compare to the Demon in the quarter mile however my interest is in road racing. Also how many wrap these beasts around a tree the first week they have it. Always happens.

It amazes me how many people on this site DONT read or either read something else into the thread. Reference the sluggish comments. If you took the time like I did to read all the latest web info on the ZR1 you would find and see the SAME quote and reference I made by your buddy Tadge. Yes it jokingly came from him and I tried to relay that statement on here but as usual it did not work. For 15 years i was involved in Vipers, and also on the Viper forums much more than here, and I never saw the friction or hatred between members nearly like on the Vette forums. I wonder why there is so much animosity with Corvette owners compared to other sports car owners.

Paperwork
What kind of paperwork did they give you for the ZR1?
Contract? Receipt for your deposit only?
I had a deposit on my Z06 way back when, two dealers screwed me even though I had money down......

You think the waxers are hammering your purchase? Wait until the mid engine hits! They hated the taillights on the c7 wait for the zora!
Envy is a killer!
Good luck on your purchase.

So you put a deposit down on a car and you have no idea how much it costs? 
How do you even know whether this dealership will even get an allocation? Suppose you have to wait six months when you could have gotten one sooner and cheaper from one of the forum dealers.
