zr1’s a re going for 50k over the sticker which is 105 base 117 loaded, so if you can find one for 50k ill take 3!, you guys crack me up anyway you wanna look at it the zr1 is a nasty car that will pretty much shit all over anything on the street 99.9% of the time in stock form, forget about headers, pulley, tune and maybe a lil spray! Theres a huge difference than some pos civic that runs 10’s and a zr1, lets see how realiable the 10 sec civ is, lets take a survey and see what one looks better, the primer fenders or the vette, lets see who gets more looks…in a good way not b/c people are laughing histarically b/c they hear 3 squirrles on a conveyor belt reving up.hahaha get over it the car is impressive and i promise you all will see one at the lot soon enough that every one can drewl over!!! ---

It is a nice car it is just over priced for being a gm. Don’t get me wrong I’m all for GM’s but in the end they still have cheap feeling interiors and for 107k base price I would rather build a twin turbo c6 and stomp a mud hole in the zr1 ---

Where are you coming up with that logic? It outperforms almost all the SuperSports cars and has close to the same specs. How is it overpriced? If anything GM will have a better quality car overall. So the pricing is actually underpriced if anything. ---

The interior in gm’s have always been cheap feeling and always will be. Hence why they can build a car to compete with supercars but at a fraction of the price. It out performs most supercars in a straight line…Handling is a different story ---

Umm, provide me the evidence that it can not outhandle most supercars? It is in the Top 3 of fastest cars in the ring. There is proof of this. Also have you seen the new interiors in GM? They are far from bland in most opinions. Expecially in the new trucks and C6’s. The C5 Interior? Yes, I will agree. But SuperSports cars in every aspect are not designed to have nice interiors… You sound like a retard saying what you are saying. ---

I have been in c6’s and the interior is not that much better then a c5. I have been in a 360 Ferrari and the interior is alot nicer. There is a price difference but thats why. Gm builds cheaper cars hence the cheaper price and cheaper feel compared to super cars. Go get in a Porsche and then a c6 and see which has a better interior you jack ass [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/motor-trend-tests-new-zr1/239667.md?page=7) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/motor-trend-tests-new-zr1/239667.md?page=9)
