Default No ZR1 Allocation: Today’s Consensus

There are no ZR1’s, nationwide, being accepted this consensus. With only 40-45 ZR1 accepted last week, its rollout is starting slowly. Thanks to Mike@Criswell for this information.

They need to stress quality. I expect it will be real slow compared. They cannot have ZR1's showing up with the production issues we have seen on some C7's. A buyer would be livid.

Too rich for my finances. However, I do have three friends who are getting both.

Having had 53 manual trans vehicles with clutches in a row, it is going to be one radical change to get a ME if it only has a DCt, but if that is the case, we will make the jump (though keeping our daily drivers which have manuals).

This dinosaur can change...

As it should be, I want the PBC master builders to be very experienced before they let me build my LT5.........

A member of this forum just got notified by NCM of his impending LT5, PBC assembly (though a definitive date was not yet given to him).

PBC staff has been assembling LT5’s for more than one year (some over a year and half), and with every engine being tested on over 800 measurements compared to 800 specific, numerical performance requirements, I have confidence even the very first LT5, PBC builds will go excellently.

Yes, I understood that from talking with Shane Webb at NCM.
