I gotta say, that wing (at least w/ the camo) looks ridiculous. And you might say "but mike, the viper had a giant wing!" and yes it did...but I felt it at least flowed with the car and the ACR wasnt something new...this just looks out of place.

That wing is awful!

BUT BRO THE NEW CAR IS NAMED ZORA AND IS MID ENGINED WHAT IS THIS BULLSHIT

That and the splitter in front. Although I understand why it's there.

down-force bros

 

[Mr. SBF]

The ACR Viper's wing had something like 1400-1700#'s of down force. God Damn....

Dat taller hood cowl looks sexy

I'm okay with enough downforce to drive upside down.

However. Cue the whiners when it loses roll races to cars with less HP.

 

[Chet Donnelly]

Should just be an option. I'm sure the large majority of the people buying the ZR1 will never drive it speeds where it needs that wing.

 

[Thirdgen89GTA]

I don't agree. Don't water it down.

The Viper ACR was a no compromise Track day special, and its amazing BECAUSE of that.

Then they should raise the price to pay for a spoiler that can activate over a certain MPH. Some guys just want the best Corvette out there to drive to work...and they don't want to look like Johnny Tran doing it.

Donchu lie to me!!

 

[Great White Drake]

Love it so far. Front bumper is kiiiinda Porsche-esq. Wing is ok. Would be way better if only seen over 60mph+.

 

[Eagle]

Would fornicate with!

Wheels are hot

Wing is awful. It is supposed to be a "street car" as well. Will it be cool, yes.

Just going more towards the fast and the furious side of things here.

It's about as fast and furious as the Viper ACR is. While it has yet to prove itself I'm going to guess that with an aero package like that it's targeting the ACR. It's just too bad the viper is out of production.

GM makes lower key vetts if that's what you want.

In before overheating issues.

I've been there. My guess it will be "ACRish" as well.

 

[HeavyG]

front bumper kinda looks like a Lambo. I'm digging it.

 

[YoushallgoFo]

I like the spoiler. If you'll never drive speeds that will use it then buy a Z06, Grand Sport or Stingray.

 

[Thirdgen89GTA]

The C7Z has been reported by just about every mag to be too much engine for the chassis. An aero kit that provides the downforce needed to plant that car may be a HUGE boon on track.

People don't really talk about the regular or base versions of cars 10-15-20 years on. Its always the special cars they talk about. Something like the Viper ACR is going to be regarded forever, despite not selling well. It was literally a street legal race car. And because of that no compromise design, its going to be famous forever.

If the new ZR1 is of the same breed it own't matter how well it sells, because it will be a halo car. GM needs to take that car out to the tracks and beat the ACR's lap times. They do that, and the ZR1 will secure its place.
