Is the 2025 C8 Corvette ZR1 ZTK a BETTER super car than a Ferrari SF90?

I think we found Joe's first supercar for his garage.

[@dcsteve7869]

You have to find the dealers who will still to MSRP on orders. You can expect markup on dealer's stock but if a dealer tries to hit you with a big markup on a car you order you should take business to someone else.

GM cannot afford to lose buyers for this car even Tadge said everyone will be able to get a corvette at msrp. They really on a mission to make sure they build enough especially if these buyers normally go Porsche or Ferrari but cannot get a deal or wait list too long GM can’t play games at this level of the spectrum I’m thinking they are going to stick it to these dealers on this model that don’t follow the rules.

[@blakeburnett3334]

@@aone7640I hope so but there’s even dealer mark ups on porches and Lamborghini’s now. The gt3 and gt3 rs was ridiculous. I think the same thing will happen with the zr1 that happened with the z06 prices will be high when production is low and then when supply catches up with demand we’ll see these under msrp

[@DominionAnako-bb7ry]

Supercar performance and reliability to daily drive. Epic combo!

[@gangatalishis]

[@Happyッ-r4q]

Your wasting your money on overpriced euro junk, that half of the time needs more maintenance than your commonly known american sports car also, you wouldn't need to be paying an arm and a leg if you scratched the hell out of the paint or need new replacement parts. I just think it's pretty self explanatory to answer your question that you should stick to u.s. auto manufacturers they honestly provide better performance and half the time look better in my opinion 🤷🏾‍♂️

Best Bang For The Buck Supercar Buy it Joe You Know You Want to

[@ghandigidget]

My family and I went to the auto show on Friday (nov 22). The show sas great. it was the hour drive there and hour drive back was terrible. What was worse, was that when we pulled into the garage, I rolled down the window to pay for the parking, and then the window got jammed open. We had to park it by a wall to hide the open window. We basically drove the hour drive back home in the night with an open driver's window. It was chaotic

I expect this to cost $189k, without the ZTK pack, add $20-25k for the ZTK Expect dealer markups to be $50-100k, for 2025 Since the Z06/E-Ray are running mid-10 quarters, this should 9-second quarters. Ferrari SF90 performance, for half the price.
