New Report Says C8 Corvette ZR1 Will Be A 900-HP Hybrid With AWD
The hybrid system will be implemented for performance reasons only - not fuel efficiency.
Too much for me to handle.
I suppose you could make the argument that you don't have to use it all, but then you're right back to the "unzipping" reasoning, which is a pretty poor reason to drop 100G on a two seat summer cruiser.
Bang on grasshopper! I believe we met at grahams - with Derek - but, can't remember your name - sorry? I went all out ordering my C8 - well, because of what you say makes sense to me at my age.Hmmmmm.... There's a lot of members (pun intended) that spent 100G and over on their C7's... Maybe we should poll and see how many used the unzip and measure reasoning for their purchase.. Personally I used the 'life's too short and finally I can afford it reasoning'... the unzip and measure would just have made me sad anyway....
lol.... No. we didn't meet at Grahams. I stopped first time at Grahams to meet him 2 years ago on the way to Maple Ridge for a BD party. Maybe was the start of westfest... lol... I have been unable to make it back on the last two dates but soon I hope. Name is Eric.Bang on grasshopper! I believe we met at grahams - with Derek - but, can't remember your name - sorry?

Bang on - too much power for me though!!!Those numbers are absolutely insane.
I recognize the one and only one reason why GM is building this car:
To embarrass that most expensive hypercars available.
McLaren P1: 903hp, $1,500,000 - $2,000,000 (USD, used)
Ferarri LaFerrari: 949 hp, $2,900,000 - $5,500,000 (USD, used)
Porsche 918 Spyder: 874 hp, $1,300,000 - $2,000,000 (USD, used)
2019 Corvette ZR1: 755 hp, Starts at $123,000 (USD, new)
C8 Corvette ZR1: 900 hp, Starts at $130,000 USD???
In the grand scheme of things, the ZR1 is a cheap, cheap, CHEAP car for what you're getting.
Bang on - too much power for me though!!!
I don't disagree. The only time I'll want that much power is if I'm competing in Time Atack and have hill-climb wings on the front and rear to get enough downforce to take the corners!
Outside of that, or drag racing, that much power is completely useless.
Ugh. Bench racing. Can’t stand that.... And when the ricer at the show and shine asks you how much horsepower, the look on his face has value too...

Same as I pay now $1600.00 a year, I guess? I pay $1400.00 now for 8 months.I wonder how much insurance will cost... if you can get it.
