The tires were overcoming the traction control and breaking loose at 160 mph !!!! Insane.

The original 150-mph limit of the e-motor wasn't enough to carry the car through all 1320 feet.

This just makes our lowly Stingray so slow? We need mow powa. TT, Supercharger and 427? lol..
No more cosmetic more mods as per JR's guidelines.

Well, our “ lowly “ Stingray hasn’t slowed down at all. But I do still have an urge to pull the pin on a Lingenfelter Roots type blower . Going to be giving them a call to feel it out . The new roof can wait, lol . If you have the urge as well here is the authorized Canadian dealer/installer .

3 weeks for the job on either Magnuson or Lingenfelter head/cam pkg. I don't think they do the Lingenfelter Magnuson anymore but directly with Magnuson as stated on their website? Same difference.
It will happen but just when is the question base on $ and when decide to forgo on my extended warranty.
5 days just for half of the supercharger? I mentioned your referral and get a super duper deal? 30% Off? lol.. Are you doing yours?
Ya you are trying to get me to take a bite out of the McIntosh?
On their FB, they are currently doing an install on a white C8.
I wonder how long it will be before someone who greatly overestimates his ability turns on PTM Pro and promptly launches his ZR1 or ZR1X into a tree or telephone pole.
I wonder how much of that is caused by "lift". I know there is a lot of aero on the car, but maybe that large wing needs more downforce.

They were saying that the downforce was starting to hurt the run times actually. So it apparently is just the massive gobs of power . And that was without the larger optional aero package. Goes to show that the massive wings you see on a lot of cars are kinda pointless except for appearance considering that they don’t start making much difference until you are over 100 kph . So unless you are tracking the car they don’t seem to make much difference in normal day to day driving. From AI …….
Large rear spoilers or wings begin to have a measurable downforce effect at speeds around 50–60 mph (80–100 km/h), but their impact becomes much more significant as speed increases. This is because aerodynamic downforce increases with the square of speed, so at higher speeds (e.g., above 70 mph/110 km/h), the effect is strong enough to noticeably improve traction, stability, and cornering. At lower speeds, the downforce generated is minimal and may not provide a practical benefit.
Exactly my point. They may have taken away downforce to aid in MPH / E.T.
For reference, it would be interesting to compare the ZR1x up against BOOSTDISTRICT'S Eray with less aero that just dipped into the 8's at 150+mph. His car has drag radials vs Cup 2R on the ZR1x.
I think both ZR1 and x will involve in more crashes per/vehicle because of its massive power? To be able to use 75%+ of its potential, the owner better be in good physical condition?

Chevrolet could have paid tribute to the father of the Corvette, so why didn't it?

No problem….
GM did not name the ZR1-X the “Zora” because they wanted to emphasize its direct lineage to the ZR1, highlighting that the ZR1X is an evolution of the ZR1 rather than a completely separate identity. The “X” in ZR1X denotes this progression, reinforcing the connection within the Corvette lineup and maintaining brand continuity. According to GM spokespeople, the Zora name was never formally considered for production; instead, the team felt the ZR1 designation was more fitting for a car that, while significantly advanced, still shares strong mechanical and conceptual ties to the ZR1.
While enthusiasts and media widely speculated about the Zora name as a tribute to Zora Arkus-Duntov—the engineer known as the “father of the Corvette”—GM chose to keep the ZR1 family naming convention for clarity and heritage reasons.
