I wonder what's going to happen with some of the new or almost new C6 ZR1's that are on showroom floors for $100k or more, or even some new or almost new Z06's are for sale upwards of $80k now that the C7 is available and they've dropped the price in Canada by a fair chunk over the C6. For example you can get a Callaway supercharger package on a new C7 with full warranty and you're still under $100k and over 600 hp, so why would one pay extra for a ZR1?
C7 effect on ZR1 prices
- Thread starter Achmed
- Start date
The dealers will sell them off cheaper and GM will kick in some dough so they don't lose their shirt.
Good time to shop for one of those ZR-1's.

new ZR1's are I think around $103k-109k selling price. Still get a 5 year warranty.
To each it's own... some may want the C7-Callaway and some may want a C6 ZR1.
The ZR1 in my mind is still the king of the Corvette and I can't believe the comments I get when I drive mine. If I was driving a Callaway I don't think I would get the same comments. I didn't buy it for comments but people ( and kids ) know the ZR1 is king.
I have driven many cars with just superchargers added and the ZR1 is more the total car.... the car is unbelievable in many ways. If I was to do Nurburgring I would rather run/drive a ZR1
Buy a C7 Callaway... I don't mind... my best friend is the Callaway Corvette sales rep

C7 ZR1 or bust. 
Nah but the C6 ZR1 demands respect. Its completely different than the C7 and people know it. Now me personally, I'd take a C7 Z0x over a C6 ZR1, but from the ZR1 to base model C7... I don't know. The C7 is the total package, but the ZR1 is a true supercar, and no one can touch that.

I would take a C6 ZR1 over a C7 in a heartbeat. Now, a Callaway C7 Vs a ZR1. I don't know. I would have to see the Callaway first and I wish I had that problem. It's the same problem as having to decide if you want to go out with Jessica Biel or Kate Beckinsale. It's a win-win in my book.
Make mine a Callaway C7. of course I love the ZR-1 (C6) but love even more the new body. It's really grown on me.

I know the ZR1 is a lot more than just a supercharger and wider body added to a C6, and a Callaway C7 could make up for that difference by having the new body style, technology, etc with similar power and the option to get an auto or convertible. If I had $100k to spend I'd rather have the Callaway but that's just me, I respect others' opinion who would rather have the C6 ZR1.
Anyway for those who prefer the C6ZR1 over a C7, you could get some used ZR1's for the same price that many are paying for a new C7...so I would think none of those who prefer the ZR1 would be buying a new C7 this year...unless the warranty of a new C7 compared to a used C6 ZR1 is very important to you.

The C7 should be a more refined car. My buddy who had a 2002 Z06 was blown away of the ride of my 2006 Z06. My ZR1 rides even better. Things just getting better and better.
one thing I got bored of the Z06's power and wanted to try a ZR1. The ZR1 power still gets my adrenaline going..... it is still a handful and not bored with it.
A ZR1 with some Carravagio Daytona's and other interior goodies would make a wild and amazing enjoyable ride. I wanted Daytona seats ( my buddy has them ) but not pulled the pin for them yet... probably won't unless I decide to keep the car for a long time.
A C7 Z06 or Z07? should be an amazing car if it does come out. Will i go that route... probably not.

OH, Kate Bekinsale please! lol
