2019 Corvette ZR1 revealed in Dubai, India

Damnit,, I'm freaking disappointed....where is the Wow factor here?......corvette fans should feel robbed.....it's an Upgraded Z06 with a few modifications here and there.....yes, it's a LT5 engine and GM says it's the most carbon fiber car they've ever made and it should be the best corvette yet.....I'll buy the Callaway as an alternative then, I'm sure they can both compete

most enthusiasts have been wanting a mid-engine vette for some time now....

it's not easy to just come out with a mid engine vette......too much time for research and development, but I'm sure somewhere down the road, this project will become a reality.....

The Corvette should be an American sports car like the Viper. The Viper made no excuses and nailed it.

Now, that being said...the only people that I've seen in a Vette that is less than 10 years old are 55+ dickheads.

I wonder what the lap time is compared to the Porsche gt2rs, will be interesting

Viper ACR, ZR1, Shelby gt500 are some insane cars for the money

GM should have made the Corvette a brand like Ferrari, way back in the C5 days. That way, there could have been a four tier model line up---Stingray, Grand Sport, Z06, ZR1. Each one for a different segment. The Stingray could be an affordable mid or front engined car to go after the Boxster/Cayman. The Grand Sport---the 911. The Z06, the GT3 RS and mid engine Ferraris. And the ZR1 could be the mid engined one that went after the super/hyper cars.

Also, this would have been a good means to get more cash and to expand the Corvette brand beyond the Baby Boomer Generation.

Where's the Viper now?  In the dust bin.

Wouldn't be a very good business model to follow in the Viper's footsteps.  The Viper has its own appeal, but they can't sell them.

ZR1 is a great last blast with seventh gen chassis.  The wing is a bit much. 

This car competes with machines twice its cost and has easy cost of ownership relatively speaking. 

Would like to see it in stormtrooper white/black.

Yeah, there's just something about the purity of design of that car. I see one pop up now and again local for 25-30k. They always have 5-10k miles on them.

Different animal but I'd take the V8 GT40 they made 10-12 years back over a newer Vette as well. That's about as modern a design as I can deal with.


EDIT: well shit damn a 2005 GT goes for 300k. Had no idea, haha. I remember when the local dealers were selling them 150% of sticker new.

C'mon dude.....GM did their best....this Vette will be a Hit, though it's not a Unique Vette, but they can at least compete with the Big Dogs
