I want a ZR1 So bad !!!!!

[MrIcky]

The Lamborghini's interior is much much faster than the 'Vettes interior. If I had a Lambo I'd have it katskin'd to slow it down enough to drive.

I'd take a ZR1 with an upside down bucket as a seat.

+1 I would take one with no seat and just sit on the floor.

All of you are missing the point. The ZR1 is complete crap because its interior, although comfortable and useful, is not up to par with the exotics that cost several as much. It is an absolute disgrace that GM let this happen. And please ignore the steel chasis and horrible fuel economy of the LP640, nobody who buys a lambo cares about that. But every Corvette buyer demands a top notch interior.

Maybe to you....I sat in one (yes, I'm special...) and it was flippin' awesome. Yes, I could live with that each and EVERY day and not get bored of it. Shoot...if I ever did, being that I'd be fortunate to get a ZR1, I'm sure I'd be able to afford doing some custom trim work inside too.

Yep. At least, I agree. Not everyone can get a ZR1. GM IS trying to sell to the majority of people that could afford a 100k supercar. Just remember that they COULD sell them at 150k with a lavish interior, but they aren't because they would not sell as many and would not be able to justify making another exotic supercar.

I mean, the ZR1 is amazing because of how fast it is for the price. If you pump up the price musch more, then it just becomes another high end rocket that any rich guy would buy. Then that would be a direct competition. I think GM is in a good place with this one. Keep undercutting the ferraris, lambos, and everything else out there, and keep selling a lot more vehicles. It's kinda in it's own class right now, which isn't a bad thing.

I DO think they are undercutting the competition. People are going to buy what they want to buy regardless. But, for those looking for a true supercar, you really CAN'T beat the price tag of the ZR1.

Not fair.

I might put a pillow in there....you know...upgraded comfort trim level...

Did you know that without a rear wing, cars immediately flip over at 100?

That's why when you see a Honda with an API AND a Hypertech sticker, they always have a wing. If they just have one or the other- it isn't necessary to have a wing. Lambo's having very fast interiors definitely require a wing. Corvette's having such slow interiors do not require wings.

The interior adds a lot of horsepower.

The extra 35k also is because of the carbon fiber hood, fenders, roof panel, front fascia, hand assembles LS9 (that has a very underrated potential),carbon-ceramic brake, very beefy six speed. And no the LS9 is far from a supercharged LS3 plus the exotics cost a ton more. If you want 100% Saskatchewan seal skin in your car then you have to pay to play. So like I said I don't drive down the road fondling the interior of my car or looking at how cool it is as I drive, but I love the car for it's performance. If the interior is comfortable, looks decent an not cheap then it's OK by me (Vette get my OK). It seems that most agree with that point and GM will sell to most of us not the few that think it's crap, so they really didn't miss the mark.

A rear spoiler keeps the rear of the car planted. I wasnt sure if you knew how that worked or not. Plus when you have momentum and the ground kind of drops out from under you, your wheels may acutally come off the ground.


The ls9 is a supercharged ls3 with forged internals if Im correct. Not an ls7.

[GrnMchin]

The LS9 is a different block with all the weak area's of the LS3 beefed up. thanks for the catch . My bad.

I saw a post that did a great job of explaining all the differances and their are a ton, but I can't find it.
Her ya go post #3

Really, it's a car if it it doesn't have to have 40 billion cup holders, soft and fluffy padding, a docking station for your I phone or BB, wires internet, and such. If you don't like it don't buy it, move on or go seek therapy.

Yeah because lambos have so many cupholders right. And that you only happen to spend 100% of the time when you drive the car in the interior, so yeah i say it adds to the driving experience.

yes because the whole time we were talking about speed and performance with the interior

i may be wrong about this but you dont sit in fuel economy, you dont feel fuel economy, you dont have to look at cheaply used products because you get bad fuel economy. We are talking about interiors not performance

Not fair.

your point about being able to do custom work because you can afford conflicts with you next statement about gm loosing sales on the ZR1 if they charge for the better interior, you cant have it both ways so which is it?
