DOES THIS END THE DEBATE? Hahaha. I think it adds fuel to the fire. Some great cars there for the ZR1 to be in company with. I would have been happy for it just to be there, which it certainly deserves to be.

And to beat out the SENNA?! Wow, where the haters at?
Haters? Let them come. The fortunate owners of ZR1's won't care
J.R. Hildebrand certainly enjoyed the ZR1. To quote: "the ZR1’s reactive chassis and menacing supercharger scream excite the senses at every curve." and "Goes to show that a good scream makes you forget about the data points."
Despite all of the naysayers (I won't name names lol), those of us that purchased the car (particularly early), have been rewarded just as we expected we would be. Does it have flaws? Of course it does. But, at this price point, we expect it to. Having said that, it's a magnificent engineering achievement. No other manufacturer has this recipe, nor would take on the challenge of building a comparable car in the same price range. Period. I can only hope the car is limited to a 2019 model year run. If so, it will remain in the family, and be parked next to the C8 ZR1 (or whatever it's going to be called).
Chevy engineer's if you're reading this...here's a tip of the cap from a very satisfied owner!

Absolutely what we owners have been saying all along. The car is truly more than the sum of its upgrades from a Z06–and it’s the car I find I currently take out more than any other car from my collection. Just a ton of fun—and fully deserving of the recognition that R&T gave it!! Kudos to GM!

What an outstanding article. Hats off to the GM development team. What car is out there that can't be a little bit better in one way or the other? Including the ZR1. What we have here is a great compromise that ends up as one of the most impressive driver cars that has ever been mass produced. Kudos GM. Thanks Tadge.
You did notice they were at the Corvette test track doing this????Do you really believe it superior to a GT2????The Senna does not even belong in the test.
It's so funny seeing people exclaim how great an article is when the results go the way they want and then trash articles that report an alternative opinion.

Indeed. That is why they call it a forum. And thanks for your opinion which I happen agree with

Agreed. That being said, just look at the company the ZR1 was in - Senna!, Pista, GT2RS?
Traditionally, R/T usually has a German bias. That is what makes this PCOTY quite significant.
Essentially, they trash on the Automatic but the lesson here is despite the transmission, everything else makes up for it.
