Silly choice. The C7 base will never be as good (I presume) as a ZR1 go with the oldest c6 ZR1 you can find save a **** ton of money. (I dont get why people buy cars new) then destroy all of the guys who bought c7's on the road and enjoy one of two american exotics

Buy the used, drive it for two years, if you like the C7 sell it and buy the C7 two years from now... this way you will have two years of enjoyment while you wait......

As others have said, there's no guarantee if/when there will be a C7 ZR1. Even if there is, we don't know if it will be anywhere near what the C6 ZR1 is, performance-wise. Why wait and miss out on the experience now?:confused2:

Personally, I don't know of anything GM might do with a C7 ZR1 that could make me not want my ZR1. You have to drive one to know what I mean.:rock:

Considering how few 2012s were made, and so many still waiting for an owner, will they even build a 2013 ZR1?

I guess the real ? is like everyone else says is 20 yrs old and want to dump 110k+ for a car.

Well I'm suppose to hear back from the dealer on Monday. I'm going to make a thread in for sale for WTB new zr1 and see which dealer can get me the best price possible.

Your choice but it is likely that the first year will be base model only and you will be able to buy one for only 30k over list.

The higher performance models will likely come along a year or two later.

What he said. You're looking at a minimum of 3-4 years before we see a C7 with ZR1 performance on the showroom floor.

And if the C7 has that huge Camaro-esque butt like the recent depictions show, I'm not sure I'd want one anyway.

Hello, 1975??

There are so many great deals on 2011 and 2012 ZR1s right now, you might as well pick one up and enjoy life. :)

Plus the 2014s will be out eventually.

I would rather buy a 2015 anyways to let GM get the bugs out of the 2014s.

I frankly dont think that a 20 yr old who can supposedly afford a zr1, is worried about saving money for gaz!

there are new unsold 2012s available, and used ZR1s w/low miles can also be found...
why wait for a C7 version that has too many unknowns (looks, power, availability ?)

As nice as possible, how the f does a 20 year old afford a new ZR1?

viperZ06 03-17-2012 09:57 PM

I never buy a first year anything. They always make improvements.

Good question...it took me 48 years to do it, and I feel very blessed at that.

Some may never have the opportunity, but I guess this all belongs on another thread...:cheers:

He is trying to very nicely say, How does a 20yr old who doesn't work buy a 110K super car?
