I'm not sure how accurate this is, since I just happen to do a random search for 1/4 mile time right after my intro thread and this article is only 13 mins old at the time of my posting. http://www.motortrend.com/cars/chevr...t-look-review/ IF this is an accurate article, I'm guessing they are getting the info from the LA reveal. Pricing seems ok, but for me I'd be wanting a little lower of a time in the 1/4 than high 10s.

Rick, I think you need to step back from the keyboard and take a break. Further, stop insulting folks on the team.
"Juechter said the ZR1 won’t be double the price of the Stingray."
That's all that was printed in Motor Trend's reveal. That's it. Period. Full stop. "won't be double the price of the Stingray".
And it's not. It's more than that. He revealed what he was allowed to at the time he was allowed to. Get it?
Relax.

I respect you, your contributions to the forum and the help you previously provided me with a problematic car.
However, your constant condescending responses to forum contributors is getting old. Especially when you respond to valid comments/critiques. I haven't drank the Team Corvette Kool Aid as you have and will call a spade-a-spade. Your never ending support of the "team" is not always justified. Tadge consistently makes untruthful statements and should be held accountable for his words/actions.
The "team" does well on 90% of the car and then drops the ball on important items and falls short/lies trying to rectify. I spend a lot of money on Corvette's and as such have paid for the right to criticize/critique/comment.
I "get it", I'm just not sure you do as you have your Team Corvette blinders on. Your statement is just silly. I'm pretty certain people interpret Tadge stating it wouldn't be double the price of a Stingray implies it would be less.
Maybe it's time for you to stop the constant RAH-RAH-RAH, GO TEAM, even after the team fumbles the ball.
Rick
P.S. FYI, despite what Tadge has said my 2017 M7 still overheats on track and I believe there are a few people still waiting on the reasonably priced cooling retrofits he said would be available for 15 - 16 owners. I also saw his nose grow when he stated he wasn't aware of there being an issue with the cast C7Z wheels bending.
I won't even go into him stating he's unaware of there being an issue with valves dropping on the LS7 engines.

WOW! $119,995 base price!!! That is $40,500 over the base price of a Z06 ($79,495) That is a chunk of change for a bunch of carbon fiber pieces, a larger supercharger and extra cooling. They say high 10's in the 1/4 and under 3 seconds 0-60 with the A8 for the ZR1. The Z06 with A8 is 10.95 seconds in the 1/4 mile and 2.95 seconds 0-60. Sounds pretty close to me! This makes the Z06 the ultra performance bargain! IMHO

You can option an $80k Z06 coupe up to around $110-115k so for a fully optioned ZR1 you may be looking in excess of $150k. Wow, I thought GM learned their lesson from the C6 ZR1, but apparently not.

All the C7 model Corvettes you can add 30 grand of options if one so desires. GM should have learned from the last ZR1 pricing and also from Chrysler with the Dodge Viper ACR's listing for $130k+ and ended up discounting them 10's of thousands off to unload them.

It's not that much faster than a Z06.. I guess GM want a to charge 40k for better cooling, CF bits and 100 horses. SMH

Base price probably includes many features that would be options on the Z06. As we know for example that CC brakes are standard. I bet there is no stripper interior either.
It will probably be a short add on option list much like the Dodge Demon.

The 3LZ trim (or whatever they designate it) will add approximately $10,000 to the base price. A fully optioned ZR1 will MSRP for approximately $140,000.

Right where I thought it would be. A lot of people here were dreaming it would be cheaper and overlap with the Z06. No sir!
I'll pick up a garage queen ZR1 later when they depreciate and people dump them for the MORE EXPENSIVE mid engine car.

That seems like a pretty good bargain.
A comparably equipped Z06, which would include at least 2LZ with PDR, Z07+full carbon package and competition seats, to the base ZR1 is a $101,000 MSRP car, so $119,995 is an addition $19k.

I like the car but I am disappointed in the pricing. I guess we'll see what the market forces end up being.

Once I account for tax and license, and my optioned new 2017 Z06 price, verse the base ZR1 including tax and license, it would be a $43,000 difference. As much as I like the ZR1 I just can't see spending that much more. I'm sure the base price is for a manual so if you want an A8, it will add even more to the price+ guzzler tax.

For some time, there seemed to be concern that intro of the C7 ZR1 would have significant negative impact on C7 Z06 demand (similar to what was observed with intro of the C6 ZR1 on C6 Z06 demand).
There are those that are in the "gotta have it" category --- but I'm guessing that there is enough of a price jump up for the C7 ZR1 to keep demand for the C7 Z06 safe from cannibalization.
