Its funny to read comments comparing MILLION DOLLAR PLUS CARS... To a sub 200k gm product... Theres absolutely no comparison u can make ... The c8zr1 is the best bang for ur buck for a 233mph car 1064hp car ... U just cant buy that for less than a million plus

[@425superRocket]

Base price is rumored to be near $200,000. Fully loaded $250,00. Dealership markup, $50,000-$100,000 plus. Just look at how much people were paying for the base Stingrays and ZO6. $20-$50k plus over MSRP. A used base first generation C8 with 50,000 miles is just now getting close to original MSRP.

[@joshreynolds729]

In my opinion your stupid for buying any supercar or hypercar when you can twin turbo a c7zo6 and build the motor to make 1400 whp or more easy not crank friends and for way less than even a c8 zr1. But yes for the brochure shopper and yuppies who hasnt quite made it an know nothing about cars but wants to go fast sure, great deal. And really whos going to use 233 mph as cool as it is. More about usable power and acceleration to 160 is what matters in my opinion.

[@425superRocket]

Addition to above comment. Just watched a C8 video last night, Stingrays on dealer lots priced at $80,000-$105,000, without markup. ZO6's priced at $135,000-$190,000 again, without markup. You'll be lucky to leave a dealership with a ZR1 for under $500,000. Dealership markup is inevitable on the ZR1. Considering a fully loaded ZO6 is nearly $200,000, I seriously doubt that a ZR1 with double the horsepower is going to be the same price. Don't get me started on the upcoming Mustang GTD. It's sure to be marked up to $500,000 by the time it's at dealerships. Allegedly a new generation of the Ford GT is being introduced next year. A modified Mustang for a half million or a legendary supercar for the same price. Considering the last GT was trading hands at nearly a million and well over that now, I don't know what to expect for pricing on the new one, if there is one on the horizon in 2025.

[@kevin-qc7zv]

The majority of the people hating probably can't afford a c6 base

[@425superRocket]

@@kevin-qc7zv At this point, I couldn't even afford a totalled C4.

[@BrightmanMoxey-b3v]

First, I'm a Ford guy, but man that Corvette is off the chain, the best bang for the buck. Not only is GM putting the world on notice, I'm to. Man the machine is gorgeous in and out. Hey who's responsible for those staircase button design, stylish seats and colors? Raise their pay GM. If I had the money, I'll get one right away. Last, not fan of the wing, I know it's purpose for down force at high speed. Thumbs up, let's put our hands together and give GM hands of a plaur. Hey the other side across is on edge.

[@neighbormark]

Great video Mike - it amazes me that, to find comparisons, one has to look at cars WAY higher in price like Ferrari, Lambo, McClaren, etc. Just amazing! Great job GM and Chevy!

[@businessbunni8423]

cant say WAY higher and then say ferrari lambo and mclaren... when they all including the vette priced the same

[@HerrinSchadenfreude]

In 10 years a Pagani or any of those hypercars mentioned will be worth twice what they're worth today. A Z06 buyer from a year ago has already been burnt while watching nearly the entire $60k markup he paid, evaporate. Of course it doesn't take so much money to build a hypercar that it needs to cost $3 million to turn a profit. But hypercars are about more than just speed, or people would have been satisfied with just dropping V-8's into Pintos and calling it a day.

[@GoodbyeKamala2024]

Amazing, and we still have the Zora coming. God bless America. 💯🇺🇸

[@lsjess4147]

Zora I believe will be a zr1 package and will only help with off the line look at the eray top end

[@niio111]

ZR1 was benchmarked against the 911 GT3 and Ferrari 458. Automags expect pricing similar to the GT3 (just under $200k). This is $40k to a couple of million less than a 458, which has a huge range of prices. Top speed is 40mph higher than the GT3 and 30mph higher than the 458.

[@DSM-w3z]

458s are right around 200k. speciale is a lot more

[@LORDEDDY]

Zr1 in 2 years, $35k pagani in 2 years $4,000,000.00.

[@LORDEDDY]

Since we’re talking about monies

[@thereissomecoolstuff]

Nice video Mike. GM did it with the ERAY. 2.5 to 60. That’s HyperCar bigtime.

[@legod1717]

Great video Mike! I can’t believe what GM has been able to do. Now the only missing piece is the price.👍😎

[@thiosemicarbizidebenzoylal2921]

You didnt listen to Mark Reuss. For GM to give a actual lap time at the ring the conditions must be spot on, and coming to high performance industry pool is hit or miss. This year was NO DIFFERENT with track conditions SUB optimal for lap times. Lightning lap is the gold standard of track performance worldwide.

[@WindyCity1992]

Exactly, nurburgring has too many variables and not equal drivers or conditions

[@pauljr.harrington1905]

This is the reason Mustang GTD was not able to put down a Nürburgring lap. I really think it is a sub-7 minute car when the conditions are right

[@jokerface4491]

Mark Reuss isn't a pro driver , it's 233mph in 6th gear for the security but on the 7th gear it's 260mph sure.

[@Flexwithken]

Naw 7th gear is useless it’s mainly for efficiency

[@braddavidson3568]

Yep not in high gear yet and still hits 233 😅

[@braddavidson3568]

​@@FlexwithkenYoure wrong, with enough road.

[@Flexwithken]

Yall be loud and wrong I owned a c8 buddy and this track is way enough road! They cap out at 233! This KZbin you better KZbin this car and what the last gear is meant for 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@hpickettz34]

Gm is gonna put a speed limiter on it.

[@petercarey2784]

What a great and informative video. Thank you and save the wave.

[@jeffhendron8702]

Great video! I wish I had known when they were testing/ filming on Pike's Peak. I would have hiked up and checked it out.

[@mario214mc]

I want to see a Corvette with and a Drag Reduction Wing similar to the Mclaren and the Porche. One way to bring it out is to add a model that is maybe one step up with both a DRS and add in the E-Ray electric motor for the ultimate Corvette with a limited production for another $30k-50K.

[@TechInfo-ul4xr]

😂buy zr1 mod engine you have 1700hp.. With no Warranty...

[@JayBelafonte]

Sounds like your trying to describe the Zora

[@Gargamoth]

That ZR1 is amazing. I would still buy a ZO7 .looks great with storage space.

[@BalazsNagy-nl2ws]

Every 5% of performance comes with 95% of the costs. Since the air resistence grows exponentially, and the tyres need to get better exponentially too, that means that it is very hard to surpass that 300 mph mark. They are not competitors to the zr1 at all

[@SVT50BMG]

This car is going to turn the market on its head (again), but I'm far more interested in lap times than magazine racing top speeds between X and Y. Also think its going to be years before these are below 250k...

[@corvetteworldrob8586]

ZR1 = AMERICAN HYPERCAR 🏁🏁🏁🏁

[@SongponThiankham]

Sounds like a jet wow, amazing. Great vdo.

[@sleeeper88]

I love my c8 z06, I am number 1 on the list at one dealer and 2 at another. If they get allocation I have a good chance at a zr1. I currently own a hellcat, 2021 gt500 and a 2024 c8 z06. I will get rid of all 3 to be able to have this zr1.

[@carloscathey829]

I know you love your Vette i will be getting one soon

[@CaribSurfKing1]

$ per mph....this is in a league of its own

[@jeremyhogan5840]

I like how the thumbnail shows the ZR-1's depreciated value instead of the MSRP.

[@RobZelinka]

Nice video. I have owned a 1993 ZR-1 and now own a 2019 ZR1. I have not and still don’t consider my Corvette as a super car. I don’t see this new ZR1 as one either. That said, what GM has done is impressive and even if the car ends up closer to $300K, it’s a bargain when you consider what the Ferrari, Bugatti, McLaren, etc. cost.

[@rovidbouski4022]

GM has definitely impressed me and Im a Ford guy

[@wallyr.7854]

Mind blown 🤯! Time to trade-in the Ferrari 😬

[@michiganfancyman7410]

And this car doesn’t have 12k oil changes. People have been salty every time an American car comes out that moves the post on “luxury exotics”. When the Viper GTS did it in the mid 90’s you heard all the same crap. Why you’d ever appreciate anything other than brilliant engineering in sports car is beyond me. It has to be love for branding.

[@btheath294]

Personally, I think that they can “squeez” a few more mph, out of the car. As what we saw, it didn’t go past 6th gear. So with two more gears, would not a few more be “squeezed” out? Maybe not much, but there?

[@bettermost]

ZR1 @ $160K? What are you smoking?

[@jz28h]

Exactly people trip me out I bet you’d be lucky to see one for less then $250k. Abd it’s a fast car but it’ll never be a hyper not by the definition.

[@Destroyer-Grizzly-BIH]

I’ve never saw footage of a Huayra going over 50.

If you think you're getting on under 250k, you're dreaming. It's still a great deal, but let's stop the 180k bs. I just can't wait to start seeing it in action on Edmonds U Drag and Hagerty, etc....

[@shovelknight14]

​@@grzegorzmalec7207It doesn't matter. A non production car can do a lot more stuff like heavy tuning and it was made for just speed while production cars are cars that need to follow the law in order to be driven legally, which is a limiting factor.😉

Ya. It’s a budget experience, thats comparable to a more exclusive, expensive, exotic. That’s always been the corvette solution. That’s fine if all you care about is comparable performance, don’t care about exclusivity or status. Seiko vs Rolex.

[@MR.TOYBOX]

I plan on getting a used c8 soon. I want the zr1 hood for my future c8!! That would be sick.

[@bigblak8132]

Im ready for the Zora!! Gm takes too long to announce numbers

[@daves913]

But but The GTD, will absolutely kill the ZR1 around the track!! Anyone think that ZR1, is going 160K.you must be leaving under a rock! Lol. 😂😂

[@seanmcginnis7564]

What makes you think the GTD will smoke a ZR1 around the track?

[@daves913]

@ for starters, it has Dynamic Suspension Spool Valve, carbon fiber body panels, forged magnesium wheels, drive shaft is carbon fiber, titanium exhaust. This will help to achieve a weight of around 3300 lbs! The ZR1, is heavy!! That would make a huge difference around the track!!

[@braddavidson3568]

Right when you like the C8 here comes the Z06. Now the ZR1.......... .................................................................. Z😐RA!!

[@Grumpyoldman666]

Zero chance it’s going to cost $160,000 🤣🤣

[@David-jh8mp]

Even a kid knows that. If you live on the planet Earth, it should be a given. Any brand of car sold at dealership even privately will cost more than the sticker price.

[@Grumpyoldman666]

@ People have been clueless fantasizing about the ZR1 price and there will be serious backlash from these same idiots when the price is revealed to be $250k plus dealer markups.

[@Wayne_Go]

Note: The ZR1 Tested is not the production version… no louvered rear glass (split window) is not on this vehicle, probably due to draft issue.

[@malinoisnation9392]

Will there be a zr1 convertible?

Yes

[@thatstuff123]

Most likely yes

[@muddwhistle7833]

😂😂😂$160,000, you won’t be able to by that car for that amount of money ever, $100,000 over sticker will be the lowest premium you can pay and th\ey will go up in value every year

[@TechInfo-ul4xr]

1064 233MPH PLUS IS FAST ENOUGH WITH A FREEKEN WARRANTY? WOW ON PUMP GAS? ...BUT OTHERS WILL MOD IT MAKE IT 1700 TO 2000HP NO WARRANY WITH METHANL..OH OH 😅

[@anonymous..-]

Nobody is raging. Please interview these “raging” hypercar owners.

[@johnnyrock852]

Great video and achievement by GM. Still need a price to back some of those claims. However, I stil think the boutique car buyers are gonna stick with likes of Koenigsegg. I would rather have a limited production car over a mass produced car, if I could afford it. Still like to see the ring numbers. That huge wing andnon- active aero will drop the straight away speed down a good deal.

[@cutitshaveit]

Zr1 the best

[@NewCastleIndiana]

I still feel like it will be north of $200.

[@jrzez]

The Pagani is a true Exotic car. How it's crafted. What it's built with. How it's designed. Paganis are just a different car, and no way comparable to a corvette. More interesting, your "obtainable." Yes, the Corvette itself was obtainable at once. A retirement car. Now it's not. It's overpriced.

[@GBAL42022]

the Mclaren is a NA car with less Horsepower and a higher Top Speed than the ZR1

[@BossMan-vl5cd]

Cool

[@ericship8383]

Most of the cars that do 211-220 are limited all those cars like the sf90, f80, w1, etc are all electronically limited meaning without a limiter they can obviously go faster

[@jokerface4491]

Sf90, f80, mc laren w1 are just supercars , they are limited because they don't exceed 220mph that's all.Everything else is communication to hide their misery.The Hypercar class is over 220mph top speed otherwise it remains the Supercar class.The new ZR1 is hypercar , end of the game. 🏎💨

300 hp more twin turbo only 18 mph more seems like should of been more C7 ZR1 better

[@JohnBrown-vn2qw]

at those speeds the air resistance is exponential.. just to get another 5mph on top of 200mph you need another 100 horsepower. that math is not correct but its just an example

[@jokerface4491]

c7 ZR1 : 344 kph , C8 ZR1: 375kph on 6th gear, on the 7th gear it's over !!. C7 ZR1 is slowest dude.

[@The-fs5wn]

A microwave cooks faster. A barbecue cooks better. The extra hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars goes to drive experience. Just go look at the Throttle House video of the Ford GT vs Corvette Z06. The two cars are virtually tied in performance, but as James said, "I don't know a Z06 owner who wouldn't give their left leg to own one of these (a Ford GT) instead. It's just a more desirable car."

[@rlafleur2011]

I would never buy a Ford, especially one with a Eco boost TT V-6

[@ParissaKhoury]

So after over 30 years of advancement in engineering we're supposed to be impressed by the top speed of C8 ZR1 when it still has a slower top speed than the McLaren F1 from early 90's which did the faster speed with over 400 hp less AND HAD A MANUAL TRANSMISSION !!!! Which the C8 ZR1 does NOT have !!! Seems like a leap backwards.

[@TheDetailLabTx]

10million dollar plus f1 vs a 200k car ......

[@Luke-cb3ly]

Tell me you don't understand anything about cars without telling me you don't understand anything about cars. Several factors influence a car's top speed, and one of the most important factors is aerodynamics, it's even more important than power.

[@MrTwone79]

The hate it's fantastic car for the price plus it done 233 with two people in there with Mark driving and he's not a professional driver also it was in sixth gear so it maybe able to get to the 240 mark with two gears left who knows
