Default So.....about that 2018 ZR1

The CF front thread talks about this today, but does not have an area for feedback.....

What do we really know about the 18 ZR1? What will differentiate it v the Z06......

The car isn't coming out until 2019. Last time I checked it's only 2016. People really need to relax and enjoy the present...the way our country is going we might not make it to 2019 anyway!

Something like this Callaway Corvette Z06 would be about right......

Every thread that includes the text 'C8', 'mid engine', or any year beyond 2017 should be instantly locked.

I don't know about locked, but it might be time for a new subforum for post-C7 speculation. That drawing was just a 3D model I could have cranked out given time and talent :-) But nothing inspired.

Why not a Future Cars Speculation sub-forum where all these rumors can play together. Once validated by GM, an official sub-forum can then be established.

It's all a little bit of a grey area.....
We still don't have any confirmation of a Zr1. So this discussion doesn't concern a C8, or mid engine......but I do hear it's for 18........

I will be excited when the official details and release date are both facts. Until then, I will enjoy my Z06.

Yep. We also need a sub forum for the GS. I don't come to the Z06 forum to read about the GS. The GS is not a Z06.
