The C7 ZR1 was NOTintroduced in LA, NY or Detroit - it was introduced in the Middle East !. I am thinking GM may introduce the C8 in Europe later this year. Geneva ? Frankfurt ? Who knows, but they like to keep us guessing.

I would also bet, it's America debut will be Detroit next Jan. as a 2020 model. Sales will start in June 2019, with first deliveries in the Fall of 2019 - just like the C7 intro.

In reality what percentage of Corvette owners ever attend a track day? If the ZR1 is intended only for track days GM should promote that fact and not sell it for highway use. I am certain that most owners will be used on the public highways and in inexperienced hands they present a real hazard.
I am not a 'have not' and am just attempting to point out the obvious. I could easily afford a ZR1, can you? I will be keeping my C7 till the C8 is available.

The C8 probably just isn't ready yet, in terms of development and testing.
As far as the ZR1 goes, these supercharged C7s, in spite of their power, are quite good daily drivers. They're not high-strung at all, rather, the power is there any time you may want it. And when you don't, the engine is smooth and quiet.

I agree about the Z06.

'72, heck. I was counting on it based on the Cover of Motor Trend in 1967. Talk about a long ambitious leap-of-faith.

It seems as though C8 fever is in full swing. Even though the General is probably angry about all the leaks, at the end of the day as long as the public likes the car, everything will be fine.

I find all the clamoring for spy photos a bit funny. Do you remember way back in about 1995 or 1996, we were all itching to see the first photos of the C5, the first truly new Corvette in thirteen years. Everyone was trying to get a picture, everyone had a theory about what the car looked like.

All the while, it was staring them in the face. Since the first day the Corvette Museum opened to the public in 1994, the car was right there.

As you walked through the museum you were greeted with a display of Corvette design drawings and clay models. Some were of old Corvettes from the 60s, some were from the early 80s, somewhere futuristic drawings of cars such as the California Corvette. But what no one seemed to notice was that on a podium in the middle of it all and not quite out of view, were some drawings of a car that no one could identify. And hanging above all the drawings and models of the various cars in the room was a wire frame. It was about three feet long. To my knowledge, it is still there today. The frame was vaguely reminiscent of a C4 but if you stopped and looked at it, you realized that it wasn't a C4. It was GM's little joke. The C5 was staring at everyone. It was hanging from the ceiling and the final drawings were sitting right there on the podium. All you had to do was open your eyes.
