You just be me to it! I was just going to post the exact same link! I like the brakes, power, CF, etc. I'm not sure if I like the clear part on the hood. It also looks like they didn't touch the seats????---For $100k they should update the seats! For RR, I'm not sure how good a supercharger is, and I'm not happy to hear of the +200 lbs. over a Z06. I think I'd rather a Z06 with some more N/A HP and those sick 15.5" front brakes! Oh, and the front splitter is welcomed!

I agree. Give me the lighter Z06 with the carbon brakes and new aero bits with more NA power anyday. Hopefully GM will offer those brake as an option on the Z06.

Ok, so I remove the carpet and the stereo, toss a few things I don't need and I'm down to Z06 weight. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) That torque curve looks like big fun.

Or remove those same bits from a Z06 and be a real lightweight (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

True, but for anything but a sanctioned class, I'll take the power and torque of the ZR1 over the same car with less power and 150 lbs less weight. I don't know that I'd feel the 150 lbs, but I know I'd feel the power differences. That's just me, there's no right or wrong answer.
