I put a deposit down awhile back with Cioccia Corvette because they were offering it at msrp. I’m still in the 700s on their wait list! Lol
I’m sure i can probably get one now from local dealers at msrp but i recently bought something else instead so in no rush.

I still have yet to drive any C8s to see how they feel.

if a Z06 is 140k pretty loaded, wouldnt be surprised if this was 180k loaded, before dealer markups

I'm hoping that's the case, anything under 200k will be amazing really......insane value for the money for sure! Even more so if you consider how weak the dollar is these days!

My Porsche snob friend's defense when I said they've never done anything like this and won't (INSANE hp from pure ICE V8) is "well you hate turbos."

Pretty lame excuse. He is right, I'm not a huge fan of turbos but on a V8 is different, even if I haven't made that clear. You have V8 torque to begin with in that situation.

Ferrari F250 prototype caught prowling Maranello, Hypercar is expected to break the 1,000-hp mark with a hybrid V6, hit 217 mph

​​​​​​​2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 packs twin turbo flat plane crank V8 with 1,064-hp, Chevy knows it will do at least 215 mph

For a fraction of the price ZR1 says hold my beer

No hybrid either! GM knows what we want. Pure ICE. This thing is insane.

Porsche still makes superior cars especially with special models like the S/T and Sport Classic.

I think Turbo S will probably keep up pretty easily with the ZR1.
The new GT3 RS is insane and the upcoming GT2 RS will be even better.

ZR1 at $200k will be a bargain, considering that is what 911 GTS hybrid costs.

I guess. Where's their Pure ICE 1068hp V8? I guarantee ZR1 buyers didn't want a hybrid.

It will be fun to read and watch comparos, that's for sure.

Porsche may build superior cars, but you've got to pay the piper big time to access their maximum.... This ZR1 will slay Lambos and Ferraris... and pretty much everything out there.
