I want a ZR1 So bad !!!!!

[Georgie]

sorry about these random posts but if i had the money the choice is clear to me: ZR1

you get the better car plus you save 200-300K... full leather interior plus nav screen in a car that is just about unmatched save the ACR... to me, that's win/win

[GrnMchin]

Then go buy your Lambo and add a cup holder.

And yes a good interior does add to the driving experience and I think the ZR1 gets it done and save me 100k+.

I'm sorry the ZR1 missed the mark for you, but my brother who owns a Ferrari paid over 100k and I don't think it is any nicer then the Vette. You can't please everyone, but taking this post as a sample I would say that the majority love the Vette. So based off sales, I would say if the majority loves it and GM has done a good job. The extra 35k was spent in the area's that I would expect it to and live up to the name super Vette. We agree to disagree

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


people tend to settle for less when its free


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



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?

Blah blah blah, I'm just sick of every one of these VS things turning into an argument on interiors. I mean EVERY vs article where you (I don't mean you, I mean the generic you refering to people on this board) compare a performance Chevy (of any type) to insert foreign wundercar here then it turns into another of these wah the interior sucks back and forths. And yes, for the most part there was more talk about interiors in this than speed and performance- because as soon as people realize the 'Vette is faster -BAM- straight to the interior.

Not everyone cares to. If they want it they can do it how they want it, if not, they won't. If it's such a big deal that it's a deal breaker they can
A) Get a slower car at the same price point
or
B) Spend a bunch more on an equally performing car with a nicer interior.

Generally speaking, you were talking about the aspects of the car that affect you every time you drive it. And if you get the sort of mileage that lambo does, you will have to get gas every time you drive it. As such, fuel economy is an important factor.

By the way, care to explain how such a supercar can get off with having a steel chassis? If premium materials are important for the interior then they should also be important in the vehicles structure right? I mean, if I'm paying $350,000 for a supercar I don't want it to be made of cheap, heavy steel. Come on Lambo, spend some extra cash and finish the car.

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.

Those seals are quite rare, as they live exclusively in Saskatchewan's Ocean of Wheat.

I only accept the finest of baby seal skins, hand clubbed by discerning ex-UAW workers using Ivory Canes for my Katskinz interiors.

so that the fine hand sewn leather can sit in a garage somewhere and never get driven. lol

Good to see some understand my making light of the subject.

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.

you mean the same steel frame that the ZR1 uses, and others like mercs, bmw and Ferrari?

umm the Zr1 nor the Z06 use a steel frame...they use an aluminum frame...the base corvette uses a steel frame.

And don't forget the composite springs and magnarheological dampers.
