Fast forward 6 months later and I just posted my full review of the 2019 ZR1! Check it out here: ua-cam.com/video/QF0xxSMBbb0/v-deo.html
Correctly priced based on competitors. I think it’s great that the price bandwidth is from $56k to $123K between 4 variants. Whereas the Porsche’s 911 price bandwidth is $91K to $293K between approximately 8 variants. The Vette is certainly the value leader and has nothing to be ashamed about. Hate’m or Love’m, these two cars are the force pushing every other manufacturer to up their games.
More details here:

Thanks for watching!

Any idea what the price would be for the Australian Market now that chevy and holden are basically going to be importing these type of cars including the camaro as well Approx, if the ZL1 C7 is around the 130K mark, then i would expect the price to be around the 150K to 160K mark in australia landed + on road costs ?

why are so many stupid people complaining about the price? it's literally only 7k more than the c6 zr1 was. considering it's a new generation and the projected performance difference between the two cars is to be significant, this price is more than reasonable.
Waiting for the MiD engine Chevrolet zora. IT WILL NOT BE UNDER THE CORVETTE BRAND
Then which one?
Wow I made it here from watching a tutorial on cornbread.
The wonders of UA-cam.
i like cornbread
I feel like we are in a horror movie and GM is Stephen king and we have no clue what they are about to do next. 😂🤣 Thanks for the shout out and the link. What we do know is GM is transitioning and now begins the process of winging their base off a front engine car. GM is now focusing on their next generation of customers and I can respect that. This news confirms what I am hearing that the ZR1 is going to be a 1 or at the most 2 year build. ZR1 is the bridge to the C8. I like that they will build C7 along side C8 for a few years. Great information as always sir!! 👍🏻😎
Great info. I think if GM keeps the price range for the ZR1 around 120 - 130K it will be a very hot car for corvette owners. The ZRI has always been the top of the line for Corvette owners and will remain that way. I am very excited to see the car once it come out. GM needs to stay competitive in the correct price range with the ZR1...it is the American way LOL Corvette Hop
+Corvettes 918 I know right lol... I was shocked when I saw the article this morning because we JUST found out the price of the ZR1 and now there are credible sources pointing to the C8 being a year or two away. I'm just sitting back with my little Stingray wondering if and what I'll ever be upgrading to haha. I still think the ZR1 is an absolute beast, but talk about a tough decision!
Cars, Costs and Technology I'll have you know that a Corvette specialist by the name of Rick "Corvette" Conti told us about that information a while back. The 2018 model year is soon to end lol. Right there, I immediately figured that the 2019 is going to be the final year of the C7 and with the new mid-engine "Manta Ray" spy shots that have been released, 2020 model year is my bet for the all-new C8 Corvette generation.
does no one remember what GM did with the NOVA ??
+Janusha I totally agree with this except GM spent decades positioning themselves on the bottom end. I think US car manufacturers were out-competed. After the 2008 meltdown American cars are actually good these days. New models for example the new Camaro, the new Mustang, are such a bang of the buck performance 2+2 coupe with decent contemporary technologies but the MSRP cannot keep up. Also exporting them, with the addition of RHD version do not justify the r&d and maintaining aftersales unit cost because the sales volume was not there for apparent reasons. (import tax, global acceptance. My previous gen. camaro ZL1 was a local exotic more than a GTR, a Porsche, but that also meant tiny volume.)
Chevrolet cannot turn the Camaro into an expensive car, but it certainly can try what Porsche did, which is to introduce globally acceptable new models. What I am guessing is Corvette elevated to the status of exotics. Later, a new front engine 2+2 sports model sitting below it (with a sportscar chassis). I doubt the car in camouflage is a new model higher than Corvette. That will be similar to Ford's expensive GT which did not bring tangible benefit to the business. All these moves are risky but US brands are years behind in the model line up war comparing to the European and Japanese, Korean.
If I was looking to purchase a Vette in the near future, I'd definitely wait for the C8, no question. The pushrod V8 is a great engine, but I'm very interested in what these new DOHC mils will do. They'll definitely be more efficient and have higher max output, but beyond that, only time will tell. Either way, I'd wait and decide when I can compare the 2.
D LG Agreed, and it was time for GM to go to the DOHC world.
I can't wait for the c8 to come out, I hope everyone buys it! So I can buy a c6z..
LoveForCars just go buy one. They are CHEAP now.
YOU CAN BUY A C6Z NOW IDIOT...
I think it's a smokin' deal. I own a 2017 Z06 with 07 package. I love the car, and have no interest in getting rid of it. The performance they are offering for $120K is insane. People need to recalibrate their expectations.
I have the same, but I don't know if I'm willing to pay $120 for the ZR1. I"m hearing the C8 will be priced around 400K. What are you hearing?
Big Pimpin it wont. I am sure it wont be higher than 200k
People's expectations are based on name power and other ego-driven nonsense, otherwise, everyone would own a Corvette. Clarkson has spelled it out numerous times. I have no problem with the US filling this niche. Incredible value on a car line that has been running circles around European imports at twice the price or more for several years now and doing that while being very reliable and very comfortable, and even practical. You could absolutely daily this car if you sunk all your transport money into it in order to own one. I have a friend with a 2009 ZR1 that he paid a premium for and he has only ever had basic and totally reasonable issues with it over 80k miles. Issues you'd have on a Corrola. A headlight burnt out early, some weird fusebox mounting issue that took them 5 minutes to service, etc. Many cross-country trips and track days. No ridiculous fuckery you see with Ferraris, etc.
I also have the same , 2016 Z06 with ultimate Z07 package and that listed for just a little under the asking price of the ZR1 i am sticking with my 16 Z06 but it looks great and is a deal.
Lee Douglas..I totally agree with you.. People like to complain Knowing damn well that they're getting a bargain.
It's very exciting news and lets.face it fellas if any of you like me love our American powerhouse ZR1 You couldn't be anymore excited with these numbers. Thank you Chevy thank you indeed.
One of the annoyances of being old (I'm 76) is noticing Chevrolet's recycling of nomenclature. I still have not gotten over their applying the almost sacred "ZL1" engine designation of 1969 to a version of the Camaro - an entire car - and now Corvette is recycling the "LT" engine nomenclature. In one of your pictures the valve covers read "LT5," which was the designation of the 1990-1995 ZR-1 engine. That part is appropriate, on the surface, but the first LT5 had dual overhead cams, and the new one does not. Also, you speculate that there will be OTHER engines (not the LT5) with dual overhead cams. Chevrolet has lots of positive imagination, I wish they would apply it to vehicle/engine specificity.
SidsCardShop i found it hard to accept them calling this "lt5" which is just an lt4 with bigger blower. however they should of called it somthimg else intill they come out with another dohc engine.
And the LT4 is just a LT1, so whats your point?
Killertoad: I'm sorry, it's something that can't be explained - a person either has a thing for favorite "numbers" or not. You're obviously too young to know that the 1970 350ci LT1 replaced the really cool 7000+ RPM 302 in the Z/28, so the LT4 is not the same as that. I never was a fan of the original LT1, although the 1970 version had solid lifters, which was kind of cool. 427 is my favorite engine number, and the sound that the LS7 makes in the 2014 Z/28 is the sweetest music my ears have ever heard - the only sound I prefer over a late model high-performance Mustang. ua-cam.com/video/kz70cXFrQ5A/v-deo.html
That was a reply to Fonzo, not you, but since you're being somewhat passive aggressive for no reason, you do know that there is a thing called generations, no? There are currently 5 generations of the SBC's, with that being said there are 3 engines called the LT1, a gen 1 SBC, gen 2 SBC and gen 5 SBC. Not to mention the original LT1 wasn't even called the LT1, it was called the LT-1, same differences between the ZR-1 and the ZR1.
Now with all that, Chevy doesn't have many options to name their engines, they normally (as you know) like to use LT, LS, L, etc as their nameplates, vs say dodge with their 5.7, 392, hellcat name plates, and vs Fords normally "coyote", "voodoo", etc.
So, Chevy likes to name the engine with the car, for example, the Gen V LT1 came out in the Camaro (and Corvette, but Corvette's engines change so much over the years, hard to compare), the Gen II LT1 came out in the Camaro as well.
The Gen V LT4 came out in the in the C7 Z06 corvette, the Gen II LT4 came out in the C4 Corvette in 96 (last year of the C4), and then was passed down to the F body (Camaro SS/Trans am) as special editions, which was kinda true for the Gen V LT4, being passed to the ZL1, but not really the same (Production numbers for the F body LT4 was under 150 combined ss/trans am)
Then the LT5 coming out in the C4 ZR-1 and then the LT5 for the C7 ZR1. Now the engines aren't really common at all, but I'd assume they're paying "homage" to the LT series from the Gen II SBC engines, hence the name LT5 in the C7, vs the LS9 in the C6 ZR1.
C4 had the LT4/LT5
C7 had the LT4/LT5
So with allllll that being said, the engine name codes of modern times aren't necessarily tied to the engine per-say, as in they're not very similar anymore, it has to do with more or so the car than anything.
But about your point about the LS7, I agree, I love the sound of the 427, but right now I'm enjoying my ford 302 with a supercharger, lol
Sorry for the long read.
Killertoad an lt1 with a blower, yes. by your logic y not just call the new lt5 and lt4
Why be mad at this price point. Every ZR1 package ends you at double the price of the same year base model, even back to the 90's.
the only people that can really afford this car are making 400k+/year. Those people aren't hanging around on YT..just sayin
400k a year to afford a 130k car?
The C6 ZR1 was 105k-135 grand and they sold great
yes we are
TheSundaysinner- I can afford a fleet of these cars and I'm hanging around on YT. Retired at 38. YT is a big part of my day.
Thank you for showing the price chart depicting the price comparisons of the various models.
99% of the guys complaining about the price can’t afford it if it was 100k.
MR. CEO Basically they Can't afford a Z06
Mason Langosch Yeah. I can’t afford the zr1 either so I don’t give a shit if it is $1,000,000 bucks. Lol
Same here! Haha.
MR. CEO exaclyy
To me, it's like if McDonald's offered a $50 hamburger.
There's no question that for the money the Chevrolet ZR1 is a great bang for the buck but the problem is the Corvette is moving out of the reach for so many of us who have had Corvettes over the years. I paid $52K for my Z06 in 2004 but today I could not afford a new one priced at over $100,000...
The corvette competes with the very best in sports cars/supercars all over the world and for the fraction of the price. The problem that the corvette is that GM has always held back it's potential to accommodate the white middle aged upper middle class americans who want a glorified front engine 2 seat muscle car fast back. Don't get me wrong, I like those things to but you can get that with the Camaro ! The corvette should be the very best that GM can do with performance and handling on the track. Ever since the c6 came out I was stoked and it represented a change in GM's plans for the corvette, it's a shift from everyday sports car to a world class supercar. The c7 is the next evolution to what GM has in store for the Corvetter, The 2019 zr1 is going to be a world beater and it will directly compete with the finest the world has to offer. The c8 is supposed to be the very best corvette ever and it will be the most radical design and layout that corvette has ever done. Mid-engine 550 hp Vette !
I've had Huge $$$ down on this car for a year and a half, getting super excited, and now they're saying I can't get one because only 60 are coming to all of Canada, for 1500 dealers. I was first in line with (what I was told) a guaranteed allotment. They got a letter saying if you don't get an allotment, don't bother calling. Only 2 allotments in the whole greater Vancouver Area, and the dealers owners are buying them. This is F N stupid. I'm so pissed off I'm sick to my stomach. Finally have the money to buy the car I want, waited almost 2 years, and still can't get one. Not cool GM.
signed:- One very disappointed customer
Rant Over....

Well, if it does turn out you don't get one, have you considered switching automakers? Also, would it be possible to import one from the US? That would undoubtedly raise the price a bit though. Horrible that that happened to you. Sry
Yes we've looked into importing from US and there is some law that says you have to wait 6 months, so, that's not bad. I've waited this long, but you're right it'll be more expensive. I'm looking into the Mclaren 720s right now. So they may get my cash, but I really didn't want to spend that much on a car. lol, and I'm loving the ZR1 even more now...
Smokealotapotamous If you're in the market for a McLaren, the 570S might be a happy medium between the ZR1 and the 720S. Personally, my favorite automaker is McLaren, but if you've found true love with the ZR1, then totally go for it! I think either is a great choice, and there's no wrong answer. Both are excellent vehicles that'll be sure to bring tears of joy to both onlookers and yourself! 😄
You should call GM or Chevy's HQ and let them know.
Smokealotpotamous Give a call to a guy named Rick "Corvette" Conti and tell him your story. He'd be more than happy to help you out. He's the guy to go with when you want your very own Corvette super sports car.
Great point about the potential ZR1 buyers. I definitely think the mid-engine C8 is going to be as game-changing as the C7 was for Corvette history. Super excited to hear that it’s coming sooner than expected, albeit it could be just a false rumor. Only time will tell.
I'm a Z06errr but I think that the ZR1 is a very nice car and the price is just right!!! I'm staying with my heart...Z06.
Great video bro! You know the guys that bought last year's model... are PISSED when this one came out in 2018!
as a ford guy, you chevie boys need to grow up and stop whinning about the price, the vet is still the best buy for your buck. of any car of that type. your shelby cobras run that cost and what do yo have, a shell with a motor thats all.
the ford gt is also priced too high although it is a full blown race car so that is not a good comparison but if you look at vets on the track, they are awsome for their money.
if you want to run with the big boys then you have to have the bucks so get over it.
edward mylnychuk you tell them to stop crying but you are crying
Okay I don't know what's wrong with that guy but I am a Chevy man myself and I know the Corvette is the best bang for the buck.. When you say GT is a full-blown race car well the ZR1 is also a full-blown race car and put a better time on a track than the GT
mostly im chevy when it comes to ford but you are right
Adam Zaidi. correct
Glad I watched this video since I was JUST about to drop 120k on a new Zr1.
Also if the 4.2 DOHC is flat-plane in a mid-engine corvette and made about 550-650 hp and torque, it would be unreal. Imagine a 600hp, 600lb/ft 4.2L flat plane DOHC V-8 in a mid engine Corvette with AWD and the 10-speed...
120k is small cookies compared to basically every comparable car.
Yep but it is still a Chevy.
best looking corvette i ever saw
Good value. That thing won't depreciate much, just like the C4 and C6 ZR1s.
I would wait for the mid-engine C8 tho.
GM is in the car business to, 1. Make money and a lot of it. 2. Satisfy stock holders by being very profitable. 3. Care about what the Corvette enthusiast feels, to a point. Pretty much in that order. It is what it is! I own a 2016 Corvette and am planing to purchase a new C8 mid-engine if and when they become available. I love to drive my Corvette not to go 212 MPH. What GM is doing now is the way of the future!
The Mid engine Z06 and ZR1 will most likely not come for several years like they have done on the past. -Eric AZ
thanks. future corvette owner here. every bit of information is helpful.
This thing is just a beast it is honestly beautiful that’s all you need to know it’s fast has grip it’s just a beast
this ZR1 is my dream car
The plant tours closing until January 2019 was the big giveaway. The mid engine car will be introduced in Detroit in January 2019 and it will be a 2020 model out in the fall of 2019. The ZR1 will stay in production through 2021 ish. All other C7 models will be dropped in the fall of 2019 when the C8 is introduced. The C8 will first be introduced as a base model that will replace the C7 Stingray. Look for pricing of the base mid engine car to be around $65K including the only transmission as a dual clutch automatic.. A mid engine ZR1 type replacement will show up around 2024/5 ish.
What’s going to make people mad like before is when next z06 is faster and cheaper
I like the style of the side marker lights on the fenders...that's about it.
Great car at a great price!!!!!! Love to get one asap!!!!!
i agree on price point but same time think they are trying to get us prepared for and outragious price they will ask for mid engine
I love my 2019 Chevrolet Corvette triple black has manual 7 speed trans that is my favorite shifter to shift. Mine has low miles an is still almost brand new. Fastest car i own by far, I haven't been able to hit top speed in it yet.
The wing makes it look cheap..and almost ricey..which is really unfortunate..Corvettes don't need wings..even if it does help performance..
So why shouldn't they add equipment to improve performance? Any car serious about track performance uses a wing.
gdub454 Corvettes don't need wings? Tell that to the Lingenfelter who died testing one of his cars!
didn't that guy die driving a super safe Chevy Cavalier ? ...you should get out more
If it’s my money, I’m waiting to see what the C8 Vette is like before buying a ZR1.
They kinda shot themselves in the foot waiting so long to release the ZR1 so close to the C8.
Big Pimpin Just because u aren’t willing to pay that much for it doesn’t means it’s not worth it bro.
+dinonoce- You'll buy neither.
You're right, that's what's implied with the "If it's my money..." comment. I like Corvettes, but I have no intention of buying one, at least at this point in my life. Still, it doesn't stop me from being interested in what GM is doing with the car, both from a business/market and functional point of view. I enjoy all kinds of cars and motorcycles.
Trying to get a new Z06 right at 80k is tough. Most fall into the 90-100 range. Click a few options and hello 107k. 120 for the ZR1. That seems about right after looking at what it comes with already. I think they should have done a bit more with the interior but the Corvette is about top performance at a "reasonable" price. The big wing would stay in the garage till track time though but it does look pretty good. OK XBT. Get your $hit together....
lets get that music back on there....its goes with your knowledge of vehicles and your great narration
I'm with you on the pricing issue. At 120k, plus for upgrades, it is right where it should be
still can't beat my grandfather's 1974 greenwood corvette, it goes 216!
Man, I've been Corvetteless since I traded my Z06 in a few years ago... might be time to come home.
Maybe I'm too far on the old-school side of things but my opinion is as soon as the Corvette goes Mid Engine, it's anybody's game. As long as we have front-engine rear-drive the Corvette will remain my favorite
The artist rendering at 4:14 is beautiful.
I really enjoy your video's. Being a "Corvette" guy I find them to be thoroughly done and well made.
Not..."Limited Production"...they said they will produce as many as ordered. There should be 0 dealership markup since no built in shortages. I think 119k is an excellent price.
Watching this like I’m gonna buy one
I have a friend inside GM that said those small blocks 4.2 will be turning 11,000 rpm's
Indy designed motors
Very possible with their target being Ferrari and not Porsche.
Corvette already owns Ferrari 430 and 599 can Corvette stay with Porsche
they are very small and light, German cars are great that is why I have always owned one
carlson2469 omg
carlson2469 stay w and pass Porsche. U KIDDING w 755hp in a fiberglass vette please demon I don't thk beats it in a 1/4mi
What?
What A Beast. I think the top should be one piece fibercarbon removable an along the borders of the doors an nose of the hood should say. F1. Great Video. 👍👍😎
It's not enough to make me sell my Z06/Z07. Out of the blue the dealer where I bought my car called me to offer me a good trade in and the ZR1 at sticker price. Don't know what that's all about.
Now the C8 has me interested.
Gray corvette back end and tail light are nice compared to other corvette rear ends
EXCELLENT Pricing for a classic and what will be one of the fastest American made cars. I would be willing to go up to and slightly over $175,000.
The 2018/19 ZR1 also has another 100hp, is lighter by 210lbs, has a much revised automatic that takes some performance design/parts from the crazy fast and smart 10 speed from the ZL1 Camaro, much more carbon fiber than the Z06 along with a more track savy suspension and that aero body with several powered air management systems like the rear wing that will go from max top speed configuration to full on the brakes and handling in about a 1/10th of a second! When it goes 6:50's at the nurburgring it will fetch that price and be worth it.
The rear wing is fixed. Is does not change from "max top speed configuration to full on the brakes handling in about a 1/10th of a second." Also, it does not lose 210 lbs. Where did you get this stuff?
Even if I had the extra money I still wouldn't upgrade from the Z06. Completely happy with my Z.
Of course it’s nothing but speculation but I’ve heard grumbling that the mid-engine C8 will be upwards of $250k. Also, there’s the possibility that a front engine will be available alongside the mid-engine in showrooms.
Here's my guesses for the mid-engine Corvette engines: LT2: An LT1 redesigned to be installed in a mid-engine car, maybe bumped to 500 HP. LT6: DOHC 5.5L, naturally aspirated with 650 HP. LT7: DOHC 5.5L twin turbo with 850 HP. I don't believe there will be a 4.2L DOHC V8. It would make the mid-engine Corvette too much of a copy of the Ferrari 430, and GM just won't do that. I think the 5.5L will be loosely based on the Gen V small block, but the only common dimension will be the bore spacing.
to adam, well said, and if i was going to buy one or the other, i would take the vet hands down, from what i have seen over the years it is the best buy by far.
I'm getting one but I'll wait until 2020 i believe it's going to be the best i got the 2018 and I'm very happy whit it
Options are awesome !
I hope they keep Z06 lightweight and NA (esp. for the C8)
Another "supercharged" video Robert. You were certainly running at red line! 😂The only deal breaker for me would be if the ZR1 does NOT shoot flames out the exhaust! 😂 For now, I'm just sitting tight until we hear "live" what Chuck is going to say on Saturday. GM's leaking, click baiting, video baiting etc. on the ZR1 has gotten just a bit tiresome. As always, great content and Save the Wave.
Considering back in the 90's the ZR1 corvette was going for $100,000 same with the NSX this thing is not a bad deal.
Have a '91 ZR-1. Crazy to think how much dealers marked them up back then. Guess some things never change, hahah
If you people are worried about price and what not, I have an answer for you. Its called buy a c6 zo6, and build it. Build it however you like. Its an excellent car, and an wxcellent platform to work with.
The ( lt4) is updated to the new Lt7 twin turbo on the C8. From my understanding. Thanks for the great vids.
The low price and the fact that it was taking on exotic cars is the reason for its popularity. Now the price sucks regardless if its a domestic. So sad.
Prices on cars getting ridiculous. (all cars). Just to buy a truck you need 50 to 60 grand. What the hell !!!
Going to the auto show in Detroit this weekend hope to see it there right along with the Camaro
+SUB-ZERO 1 Nice 👌
When I bought my '95 the prices were still within the dream of an "average" man. And even though technology has come a long way since then, supercar status has taken the car out of the reach of all but the rich.
That is why there are other corvette models to choose from. Everyone doesn't need to be able to purchase the top of the line model.
It will be interesting to see how the ZR1 performs on the Nurburgring.
I'll wait for the C8 ZR1
So im thinking for the c8 the 6.2L pushrod will be in the base model making 460-475hp, the 5.5L DOHC well be for the grand sport making 520-550hp NA , and the 4.2L DOHC will be flat plain crank and twin turbo making 600-650hp in the Z06. Or the 4.2L DOHC flat plain crank and twin turbo will be for the grand sport with only 550hp and the 5.5L DOHC will be in the Z06 with twin turbos. GM has a turbo 2.0L DOHC i4 making 275hp so 550hp from a 4.2L v8 should be expected.
love the video ! first time I have seen one of your worth a subscribe :)
I am not sure if it is just a prototype test bed to see how a mid-engined C performs in real life, or if all these are intentionally hyped up news to see public reactions.
This is however a HUGE concept change to the model (image a mid-engine GTR, even though we might never see the next gen). For me it is hard to imagine an affordable base model with very limited trunk space, or say, more difficult/expensive to modify a base model. Corvette owners are not the same as the usual European sportscar owners.
There are few possible reasons for this to happen: (Big corporations simply would not touch halo products unless there are big plans to bring about future benefits)
1. motorsport homologation (this alone is not enough).
2. A mid-engine layout WILL elevate Corvette to the level of exotics, possible higher retail across the range, new top tier model range.
3. Hybrid for AWD, rear wheel steering, etc.
4. a future smaller 2+2 front engine entry sports model can be introduced, price between Camaro and Corvette.
Still, a mid-engine Corvette? Hard for me to grasp atm.
These illustrations for the mid-engine C8 basically looks like a McClaren.
I'll wait for the C8, still enjoying my C7
Corvette basically finally built a Viper ACR competitor
I'll have to wait and see what the c8 will look like, before I jump to the zr1
Okey I will buy one 2019 model in 2023
I've been watching and listening about this car since the initial "spy" releases. I would love to have one, but it's just a bit out of my comfront zone. I guess I'll just have to stick to my second choice, a Camaro ZL1 1LS. Just to have a point of referance: I ordered my first new car, a 1976 Datsun 280Z, which cost me all of $7300. I sold it three years latter for $7300. My point is that this car is not only priced right, but it will definitly be an investment (If treated as it should be.).
This car is gonna sick nasty. Price? People pay 130k for an Audi rs7 or 200k for an R8 or 80k for a BMW M4 or 200k+ for a Ang Gt. This thing is gonna hurt some feelings.
I am afraid the $40k over my 16 Z06 is a deal breaker. Thanks for the video.
This is not a supercar? Probably you know nothing about cars!! This is an amazing Corvette!!!
Best car for the money period.
wow thanks for getting back to me, I'm sorry for being a dick I was just a little pissed off that you even mentioned the ZO6 because it's my understanding the ZR1 is a ZO6 on a whole other level and compared to the cars that competes with it's an absolute value but I appreciate your explanation and I love your videos keep up the good work. I know I sounded like a dick with my feedback but I still gave it a thumbs-up you do a great work thanks again
Amazing car! But I’ll still take a c6 ZR1.
Yes josiah,i agree.the C6 ZR1 is better looking,never have liked the camero tail lights,or rear window on any of the C7s,the C6 ZR1 is 200lbs lighter,the engine is super strong,i have had my 09 over 180 mph.60 to 70 times,over 190 20 times so far,at 7,500 miles no oil loss,not a wimper from the engine,for 10 grand easily bump up to 750hp.SA
Once again I have to give you respect nice job very nice job the new ZR1 is nice the new technology is great and Technology never stops. But to me the C4 1993 ZR1 ruby red anniversary series is the King of the Hill and still is the King of the Hill no matter what they say
Yes, that ruby red looked amazing and transformed the c4 , plus the 5 spoke rims made the c4 look way better then the older 85 models, and 405hp was crazy back then, the only cars they could hold the zr1 against was the 959, f40, and countach which really said a lot. Also it was fast for its power i've seen 0-60 in the 4.3sec range and 12.7sec 1/4 mile for 405 hp thats flying for a car that weighed 3,500lbs. The grip was incredible to it pulled .96g on the skid pad ,the c7 base model only pulls .96g
ITS KING OF NOTHING.
That’s right around the price I was expecting. Time to empty the bank accounts.
Worth every cent of it !
I'll wait for the mid Engine!
to rouvid, the shelby gt 500 would get killed on a road coarse by a vet, all they are good for is straight line runs and as a ford guy,
i give credit where credit is due.
i wish they put the 10 speed gearbox in this.
If they make a totally new dohc v8 i would expect bugs that they will have to workout...itd be a new body design..new engine..unknown upgrades itd be able to handle...not something id trust for first years.
Word of advice among Corvette enthusiasts like myself: You never purchase a first year Corvette LOL. The bugs and kinks get worked out with the newer models.
GM SHOULDN’T even offer the ZR1 in a convertible version. It’s just so damn stupid!! Yes in the C7 Stingray, but Not in the Supercar ZR1
Fulfilled Rouge so, it's not a super car
Shawn Moses, Bro That C7 ZR1 is a ABSOLUTELY 100% A Supercar
Corvette died with the C6. C7 are pontiac trans ams the lead designer is Tom Peters. After im done with my C6Z im moving to porsche and i never thought id say that.
Pro M, Bro I think you should at least wait until the introduction of the C8 mid Engine before you bail. You might like it..I Love C6 Z06! 3100-3200lbs dry sump 7.0L N/A Monster. The very last 7L Full Production Engine we are likely to see out of an American performance car
Fulfilled Rouge c7 makes the c6 look like trailer garbage. Everything about the c7 is better than the c6. Sales, looks, power, performance.
Our large Chevy dealership had no less than a dozen Vettes all new. One Z06. We did NOT sell one of them held since May. We wholesaled them back to GM (with some help from them). The Camaro ZL1 we only had allotments for 3 of them and could have sold 50. Now dealers are discounting in excess of $15K to move the 2017 Vettes. This new 2018 version is a total ripoff with nothing else engine-wise but more boost.
I guess as a typical dealership employee you are woefully misinformed. This engine does not just have more boost. It has both port and direct injection, a different crank, a larger blower, etc. This is why people don't trust dealerships. Good job.
I've already pre ordered from my Chevy dealer.
So after about 20 years of fighting crime, Batman takes a designing job at GM?
Bn Glyns Thanks for the complement. I will be remaining a crime fighter. Luther is the designer on my team.
No. Bruce Wayne did...
Nice video i have a c7 and have been waiting impatiently for the c8. I test drove the r8 v10 today but at the price point it does not have the excitement a car priced that high should have. Im not watching Chuck on Sat as i am lucky enough to be going to the show on monday as l long has the weather and southwest airlines holds together.
From the given images, I'd say I prefer the latest Ford GT model instead of this car.
Pete :")
A $450,000 car that is sold out is not really in this category.
Still my favorite
I doubt the regular base c8 will be anywhere near the c7 zr1 performance wise, so it's not really a comparison
If people are whining about the zr1 being 120k, than they should be screaming and rioting over the Ford GT that's 500k and the ZR1 just stomped it at VIR.
