There are people that will buy something just because it’s the top model regardless if it makes sense or not. In this example though I think an awd drive zora would make sense. Obviously we won’t know until journalists can test the car but right now 1000 hp sounds like a lot for only the rear wheels to put it down. The c8 ZR1 reminds me of the McLaren P1. Amazing car when it came out but was a handful to drive. At these power levels adding weight can help if it’s in the right area which I am confident it will be.
I could very well be wrong though. I think I remember watching a video recently where they talked about managing torque in the lower gears so maybe the ZR1 is an easier 1000 hp car to drive versus older 1000 hp rwd cars.
