I beg to differ. The Vette is a very comfortable car. From the description, it sounds as though the magnetic ride control on the ZR1 will make it even better.
From what I have seen, there is a lot more to this car than an LS3 with a supercharger. It has been substantially upgraded to handle the SC.

I will say that I think they have the body "nailed". A step up from the Z06 (that I like alot), and much more. Almost too-bad the overall C6 (base) can't get some of those nice curves.

They need to get some better seats in the Z06 if it is to be compared to a GT3.

I prefer a new GT3 over the ZR1, and I prefer the C6Z06 over both of those cars for "bang for the buck".
JMO, of course.

ain't that the truth. While vette seats are great around town and on long road trips. They absolutely suck for spirited driving

The real deal with the seats is that at the production numbers for GM, most never even drive by a track. The are producing for the masses. Hopefully the ZR1 will be improved.
I actually like the GT3/Z06, GT2/ZR1 comparison in an above post. Probably not too far from the truth.
Let me drive it. I'll break it just like the Z

Trust me the Corvette is actually better. I have a Viper and I am not impressed with it. Build quality and amenities that is. It surely is a chick magnet though.

I agree that most people probably will never track their Z - but for those of us that do - they should offer some kind of option.

Heck, the standard Z06 pulls on Murci's. This thing is going to be insane. Is it going to put out straight line numbers like a McLaren F1 and cost only $100,000? What do you guys guess the 1/4 mile trap speed will be, 133+ MPH or so? That is sick.
Light mods and you're running 10's all day long at 140 MPH.
