Acr back in 2015 posting better times then zr1 posting currently at VIR.

Probably laguna? In the other thread someone posted a screenshot of the laptimes. Or it may be the other MT track

Ok sorry I missed that

I would take zr1 over any viper. Vipers are just too uncomfortable

the better times.

just checked. Your correct. It was Laguna where the viper had better times.

Cmon guys I’m not talking about lap times, I’m talking about who has owned both, who went from an ACR to a ZR1.
what improvements did you notice besides power and sound? Really want to know. I’m looking to upgrade and want to know from current ZR1 owners. How are they at the track? Is the weight difference noticeable?

i would keep the viper. Unless you are itching for a change. Wait for the next gen viper or c8. C7 is ok at best.

No have not driven a zr1. Doesn’t really interest me and don’t think it would feel significantly different then my C7z06. Biggest difference is I am sure it pulls better up top with the bigger supercharger.

op is looking for zr1 owners that came from a viper. That might be tough to find. OP might consider test driving a C7z06 seeing how zr1’s are hard to come by right now. And probably even more difficult to get a good test drive in a zr1.

From there I think he can draw a reasonable conclusion of what a zr1 might be like compared to his viper. Seeing how hertz is now renting z06’s in special locations. He might even do that.

C7z is a nice car. It’s more of a luxury car like Cadillac 2 door with no back seat.
Maybe the OP will like that.

I haven’t owned an arc or ZR1 but I have owned a c7Z and still have my gen 5 viper TA 9 had both at the same time for 5 months even though performance was close and both cars are awesome base model to highest model , Viper is an upgrade from the corvette period.

no one has owned both that is on the forum. However nymerez gives a pragmatic view from the seat of a C7z06. the viper owner OP considering the c7zr1 might think about renting a C7z06 from hertz. This is about as close as he will get to a zr1

I had a 2016 ACR, 2015 ZO6/07 and now the ZR1. I have not had the ZR1 at the track yet—so I cannot offer you any track comparisons at the moment. I had almost 9K track mi on my ACR. Car was unbelievably planted. It’s only real iasue was eating a set of front tires every 1-2 track days.
As an all around car, the ZR1 is in another league. It’s not a one trick pony like the ACR was. ZR1 is much more useable and well rounded. I owned the ZO7 for 3.5 years and the ACR for 2.5 years. I kept the ZO7 for weekend drives in the mountains since the ACR was not really suitable for this. It’s my expectation that the ZR1 will fill the shoes of both. One thing I have to say—I sold the ACR for what I paid for it new—to the penny. I took a $35K hit on the ZO7.

That makes sense or find someone generous enough to give him a test drive or track time.
