Even 300 lbs less than the ZL1 it still weighs 3820 lbs. How long will a set of brake pads, rotors and tires last at that rate? You think you could get 10 laps out of it?

Remember, it has 15" carbon ceramic rotors, so pad/rotor life should be extended significantly. THAT you get with that estimated (by me) $60K unit price.

3820#?!? That's approaching the weight of our 96 Impala SS!!! I guess all those airbags provide additional ground-hugging weight. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
