I'm not gonna lie, man. I'm not a fan of boosted engines but this ZR1 is making that unbelievably difficult for me. LOL!

@mercracer24 It's just the Europeans, they hate to get shown up. It was the handling (which, when it comes to the Vette, beat Ferrari, Porsche, Lotus etc on the skid pad way back in the 84 year model w .95 Gs), then it's the interior, then it'll be the styling, the "antique" technology, the ride comfort, build quality, the transmission, driver feedback, materials, cup holders, etc, ad nausem. It's just fucking ridiculous. They say it sucks, but its beating them, so I guess they swallow.

@triplexxxsatyr I still can't believe that with all that power, people are still complaining about the freakin interior! All the haters out there need to give it a rest. They can't find anything bad to say about its incredible performance so they just bash the small stuff

Oh, and godug still fucking rules.

Still cannot get over how a 638-hp Corvette is magnanimously available to an adoring public.

And for hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars less than its comparably equipped competition.
