so im on msrp list for z06 and zr1 (whenever announced). wondering if passing on z06 might make sense and just get to top dog Z. i want all ice tho. if zr1 is hybrid I'm out. anyone know? also is zora > zr1? maybe wait for that instead lol.
ZR1 = 5.5L V8 TT around 800HP. The Zora will be the first to come after the ZR1 (I think) - That will be a hybrid platform pushing 1000HP from what GM insiders are saying.

I'd go with the Z06 unless you are OK with $140-200k OTD on a Chevrolet - Starting to get into the price range of more exotic toys at that point but Chevy has a dealer just about every 100 miles. Maintenance will be 10x cheaper in the long run if done at the Dealership. Way less down time which could come into play when purchasing a track toy (y)(y)

So the ZR1 will use the flat plane crank v8 and juice it with a TT. So the Last ice corvette? If yes I think THATS my target C8. As for 140-200k. Do u think Is thats for the Zora or for the zr1? I have no interest In a hybrid…
