      ​@dbmracing2019 I used to run my CT5-V Blackwing on I-75 and had plenty of room for a good run or two before hitting traffic. Snatched an E-Ray there and we both kept in it to 150mph. That instant low end response and pull with the ev motor really is noticeable. But my 10 speed gives me a slight advantage in acceleration. E-Ray pulls ahead from 50 and then becomes dead even almost to 100mph, then I slightly pull and reel it in and then it's very noticeable when the EV motor shuts off or something, because my caddy just starts to walk it

He had a drag radial on the back of his but it’s very obvious in that video when the electric motor stops adding power and is essentially an anchor. Makes a huge difference down low at low speeds but when the speed gets up there it tapers off quickly for the E-Ray

      And I'm not a GM exec, but from what I've seen they're definitely doing the Zora. There was an extended interview with some of the engineers who worked on the ZR1 and in that interview they said when people saw certain design aspects of the Z06 they thought they were a curious decision, but that's bc they didn't realize they had been made with the later ZR1 in mind from the beginning. Then a few moments later the interviewer pointed out a "curious" design decision on the ZR1, and the engineer not-so-subtly confirmed that's what you'd do if you were planning to add the additional components from the E-Ray's electric drivetrain in the future 😉

    Great video big dawg!; this is precisely what I had envisioned.
    I've owned 11 Corvettes, all overhead valve, from my initial C4 Vert to my C6 ZR1.
    So you can see how I would be tempted to own a C8 Z06 with its special sound...(I had expected to get that sound via a Ferrari 360 Modena or an F430, but that didn't materialize- too stuck on Corvettes???)
    But I always knew, for all intents and purposes, the everyday practicality and value of the E-Ray and its AWD and traditional sound. (And yet I would more often build the ZO6 on GM's build and price... My, how we pine after what's different)
    What a conundrum.
    I'm on my dealers list for a C8 ZR1, but I have serious trepidation about over a 1000 horsepower with only rear-wheel drive despite being mid engine. Without drag radials, those ZR1's, they just are not going to hook...( And wasn't the plan by GM originally supposed to have been that the ZR1 would have about 800 plus HP and then the "Zora" would have a 1,000 HP or more with AWD??? - maybe GM was trying to one up Ford's Mustang GTD with the 1 K HP ZR1???)
    More and more, in the meantime, that E-RAY convertible is calling me...HARD!
    AGAIN, GREAT, VERY INFORMATIVE VIDEO. This is just the type of info Corvette buyers like me need. Thumbs up, 100%.

    The z06 sounds better, got to give it that, but the eray is leaving that z quite a bit from a dig and a roll. It has a faster 0-60, faster 1/4 mile, you can easily mod it and get a lot on the top end too. They’re both cool cars but dam, Well done on the eray GM!
