ZR1 Announcement for Canada will be official this summer.

[Mr.Corvette]

If anyone is wondering over the next few months the ZR1 will also be announced officially for Canada as well and apparently made available for distribution as a 2025 before the end of the year I was advised today.
Just to remind everyone the C7 ZR1 saw 2953 built over an 20 month production cycle to finish the C7 run. Canada only got 131 of them with 95 coupes and 36 convertibles coming here.
The highest allocation any dealer in Canada got for a ZR1 in 2019 was 3. I don't need to say how difficult it's going to be to get one of these. Has anyone put a deposit down in 2022 or earlier?

with the zr1 coming, is that an indication that its end of the cycle for C8s?

 

[Mr.Corvette]

No, not by far. This will give them an opportunity to build all four models until the Zora shows up making it five models until 2029.

How much under $500,000 after market would you guess ?

I do have deposits for both the ZR1 and the Zora being placed in 2020. I can only hope and will wait.

Very nice.
I'm sure there are more than a few envious enthusiasts in this forum wishing they had done the same.
Good luck to you.

 

[Mr.Corvette]

If someone has a deposit at a top 25 dealer and are number 1-3 on their list, then you have a chance. If not then you’re chances are slim to none for year one, but I expect the ZR1 to remain available for 3-4 years this time. This will help everyone’s chances if you truly want a race car for the street.

Not much on the resale market for the Zora. Collectors will pay whatever it takes to get one especially if they build the Zora at the same rate they are building the E-Ray.

Someone post on the US forum that one of the engineers said it will not be FPC. Which means a CPC DOHC will be in its engine bay = a detune LT3 DOHC will eventually make it into the SR?

 

[DenisC8]

Well, GM shits the bed yet again: this “summer” will not be the announcement/reveal of the ZR1, but an announcement/reveal of when the announcement/reveal of the ZR1 will be.

 

[Mr.Corvette]

It will be made official but will not commit to the date of exactly when it will be available. At this point they're not saying what model year it will be.
It sure didn't sound like a FPC when they ran it around the track in Germany. Look for the LT3 in the Grand Sport.

When do you think the GS will be out? In 2 years?

 

[Mr.Corvette]

When the new 6th generation of the small block V8 is available. Probably 2-3 years.
